PHARMANEX® 6-S QUALITY PROCESS™

The Pharmanex standard of quality---Six "S" for Success

Pharmanex® uses proprietary technology in its manufacturing process that enables the Company to control quality and ensure efficacy of all products. The company controls the manufacturing process from cultivation of the raw material to the time the product reaches consumers and from identification of the active botanical ingredients to cultivation of the crops and manufacturing of each product.

Pharmanex's processing methods often meet or exceed the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards of the FDA for this product category. Pharmanex scientists apply a pharmaceutical-like model of development to its natural product candidates including basic chemistry focused on characterization, and production methodology development, toxicology, pharmacology, and clinical research.

The 6S quality process, exclusive to Pharmanex, sets the standard for production of every supplement, at every step.

• Selection: Only botanicals that pass every test for authenticity (human and traditional use), efficacy and safety are considered.
• Sourcing: For a botanical to be safe and effective, the correct plant part(s) must be identified. Only the finest raw materials and ingredients, verified by comprehensive botanical and chemical evaluation are selected. Pharmanex performs detailed studies to determine whether the quality of the raw material meets our exacting standards.
• Structure: Distinct parts of a plant contain many different natural substances with varying properties and effects. Pharmanex identifies those natural chemicals linked to the key biological and desired effects.
• Standardization: Only a controlled and validated extraction process guarantees consistent composition leading to correct and safe dosages and predictable health benefits. Pharmanex standardized products provide the benefits of the natural plant in its whole form.
• Safety: Every natural ingredient in every Pharmanex supplement is subjected to stringent, scientific studies to ensure safety. Pharmanex funds ongoing research and trials to ensure its products set the industry standard for safety and effectiveness.
• Substantiation: Pharmanex's product claims are substantiated through documented clinical studies. Unlike other companies, Pharmanex's claims consistently adhere to scientific standards, making us a leader in the natural health care product industry.
