Quality is not just one thing
Why is Quality everything?
Because the benefits a plant-based formula or single ingredient can give you are optimal when the plants grow in a clean and well-managed growing environment and are processed using methods that ensure the benefits of the plant are maximized without compromise.
Your body deserves the best quality supplements. Period.
To provide you with outstanding products, we spent a decade perfecting our ingredient sourcing, extraction methods, testing, and final product manufacturing before our first product ever hit a webstore or a store shelf.
And though you can’t see it with your eyes, your body will appreciate it.
We’ve been producing high-quality effective plant-based supplements for over 25 years!
Thank you for digging deeper into what makes our plant-based supplements a good choice in your wellness journey.
The Road Less Taken
(though everyone should be on it)
We manage the entire supply and manufacturing chain from growing field to finished product. It is standard for dietary supplement companies to buy their ingredients from brokers, then have someone else blend and package the product; some even buy their botanical ingredients in finished form without knowing the growing conditions or specifics about methods of processing! But every detail counts – where the ingredients come from and how they are processed are as important as which ingredients in what proportions are in the formula.
Because the quality of plant ingredients varies greatly depending on where each is grown, we’re even more dubious that botanical product quality is possible without overseeing the entire supply chain ourselves.
Plantiva’s formulas are manufactured via a unique process in which the review of all aspects of Quality Assurance (QA) is vertically integrated under one company, starting right from the crude, unprocessed botanicals all the way through to the finished product.
Our QA department in the US together with Plantiva’s lab at the company’s Beijing office oversees all key aspects of procurement, manufacturing, and quality control testing.
Ingredient Sourcing
With over 15 years of researching the quality of plants growing on medicinal herb farms around the world the growing areas for each Plantiva botanical ingredient are chosen to minimize environmental contamination and maximize sustainability and the health and quality of the plants.
Our ingredients are sourced directly from the growers themselves. This allows us to carefully select only the highest quality botanical materials, and ensure we get the same high quality every time.
Wherever possible, we select “green” growing areas that use no chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Once the optimal sources are approved, we then purchase our ingredients only from these approved growing areas for each botanical.
Manufacturing
Plantiva has optimized the manufacturing processes involved in each formula with product quality, safety, and efficacy in mind.
With decades of experience working with botanicals we know that different botanicals need different types of processing; some botanicals may even require adjustments to their processing depending on the formula it will be blended into.
For extraction we use only natural solvents such as water and ethanol; never harsh synthetic chemicals. Once the proper formula and manufacturing processes are established, the production of each batch of our formulas is reviewed by Plantiva QA and all processing is conducted in strict conformance with the approved manufacturing procedures and formulas.
Testing
Each lot of raw material and finished formula is subjected to a comprehensive battery of testing, to control for everything from botanical identity and the content of marker compounds to contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogenic bacteria.
Our tightly controlled supply chain allows us to be confident that contamination with unapproved drugs, melamine, or other banned substances is not an issue in our products; nevertheless, we also periodically submit samples of our products to independent, accredited test laboratories to screen for a wide variety of potential contaminants.
QA Oversight
Quality Assurance is closely involved in all aspects of operations, not just laboratory testing.
QA reviews everything from the manufacturing processes to employee training, equipment calibration, proper documentation, and other important procedures.
For each lot of raw material and finished formula, all relevant data are reviewed by QA management prior to approval or rejection of the batch.
This includes not only raw testing data, but also purchasing records, sampling records, and manufacturing batch data. In short, no product leaves our doors till we’re completely satisfied with it from start to finish!
