Quality Control
All raw materials are tested for purity prior to
production. Quality control engineers have the authority to
reject any product during any stage of production that does
not adhere to our strict quality standards. All personnel
follow explicit written protocols that are strictly enforced
during the manufacturing process. All steps during the
manufacturing process are documented and reviewed by quality
control specialists. Manufacturing equipment is properly
maintained and cleaned on a predetermined schedule which is
documented in company logs for review by the Department of
Agriculture. This helps to ensure the absence of any
contamination during the manufacturing process. Production
records associated with each unit of a product including all
raw materials used are filed for two years past the
expiration date.
Further quality control is demonstrated in the following
manner:
Product analysis - is recorded for each
product that is manufactured. This analysis contains the
specific components of the herbal product including a lot
number for each of the ingredients and the production
methods used.
Raw materials - are purchased only from
reputable wholesalers. Each raw material in our products
must come with a Certificate of Analysis provided from the
supplier. Our in house quality assurance team also analyzes
the raw materials for authenticity.
Packaging material - all packaging
materials are purchased only from reputable wholesalers.
Specific quality assurance personal ensure that all labels
are assigned to the proper products manufactured to avoid
any confusion. All new labels are cross checked with the
original master label to ensure there has been no mistakes
during the printing process.
Lot Numbers - once an order request has
been received the herbal supplement to be manufactured is
entered in the production records and a lot number is
assigned. The raw materials are subsequently released to the
pharmacy once all products have been checked for
authenticity.
Bowtrol Manufacturing Guidelines
In addition to the above outlined protocols for the
physical aspect of the manufacturing facility. Bowtrol
Supplements also adheres to the following manufacturing
guidelines to ensure the utmost quality control:
Blending and Granulation - all equipment
used for in the process of mixing and granulation are
inspected by the director of operations prior to use. Raw
materials are then inspected for the final time and the lots
are then processed using the strict written guidelines for
each herbal product. Following granulation and blending the
powder blends are stored in specifically designed containers
to ensure freshness and to avoid any contamination. Once
again the director of operations ensures that all new blends
are labeled appropriately.
Encapsulation and Compression - all equipment used in
the process of mixing and granulation are inspected by the
director of operations prior to use. Raw materials are then
inspected for the final time and the lots are then processed
using the strict written guidelines for each herbal product.
Once a test unit has been processed a sample unit is issued
to quality assurance to be compared to retained samples to
insure product integrity. Once the new unit has been
approved by quality assurance the full line production may
begin. Quality assurance inspections are conducted using set
protocols for the capsules. As with the blending and
granulation process the capsules are stored in specifically
designed containers to ensure freshness and to avoid any
contamination. The director of operations ensures that all
new capsules are labeled appropriately.
Liquids - follow the same stringent
protocol as the the above mentioned blending, granulation,
encapsulation and compression procedures.
Packaging and Inspection - upon completion
of the processing, the final product is inspected again by
the quality control staff, broken tablets, over filled
capsules, and other defective finished products are removed
from the lot. Products released by the quality control staff
are subsequently either packaged for bulk storage or bottled
and labeled for consumer use (labels contain the appropriate
information as required by the Federal Drug Administration,
batch numbers are logged). All finished products are
properly labeled and closed with a tamper proof seal. The
quality control unit also retains samples of raw materials
(for one year past the expiration date of the last product
they are used in) and finished products (for one year past
the product expiration date) are maintained under control
conditions. All of our liquid products follow the same
stringent control standards where applicable.
Final Products - all final products are
stored in quarantine in a climate controlled environment
until final delivery to the customer.
All of Bowtrol Supplements are manufactured using
Good Manufacturing Practices set forth by the US Federal
Drug Administration. In addition, both scheduled and
surprise inspections by the quality control staff during
different aspects of the manufacturing process help to
ensure specific quality, strength and purity for both the
raw materials and the finished supplement
