Why LifePak® is superior to other vitamin supplements
Double
Blind Clinical Studies
Pharmanex® scientists examine the natural, healthy processes that take place in the body and determine how nutritional supplementation can enhance these functions. In fact, Pharmanex®'s approach to nutrition can be encapsulated in the following statement: Provided by nature and proven by science. After weighing these factors that account for the natural, healthy processes that take place in the body and determining how nutritional supplementation can enhance these functions, only the substances that are known to be safe and effective in promoting health are taken to the next stage of development. Once selected, all Pharmanex® ingredients are subjected to a stringent, scientific analysis known as the 6S Quality Guarantee. This patented manufacturing process, based on selection, sourcing, structure, standardization, safety and substantiation, enables Pharmanex® to lead the pack in quality and efficacy. The company consistently meets or exceeds the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards set by the FDA for this product category. Our
6S Quality Guarantee
By applying this process,
Pharmanex® has consistently met or exceeded the Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMP) standards set by the FDA for this product category. The
6S Quality Process has enabled Pharmanex® to become an industry leader
in quality and efficacy.
To locate the botanicals with the most effective health-promoting properties, Pharmanex® employs teams of experts from the United States and Asia. These teams conduct exhaustive researchcompiling, reviewing, and summarizing historical use and current intelligence about a botanical's properties and health benefits. Pharmanex® also
conducts original research to identify new botanicals, coordinating with
noted professionals at Purdue University, Kansas University, Columbia
University, Scripps Research Institute, and Beijing University, among
others. Only botanicals that pass extensive Pharmanex® tests for authenticity,
usefulness, and safety are considered.
Once Pharmanex®
decides to proceed with a particular botanical, a team investigates potential
sources of the botanical and conducts exhaustive analyses on samples from
each source. Sources may be domestic or international and may include
Pharmanex® cultivation areas in China and Chile. Pharmanex® chooses
a supplier based on the quality and concentration level of the active
ingredient(s) present in samples from that source.
Using state-of-the-art
analytical techniques and working in collaboration with respected universities
and laboratories in both China and the United States, Pharmanex® conducts
structural analyses of the natural compounds present in the selected botanical.
These analyses isolate and purify specific chemical structures in standardized
extracts, a critical step in ensuring a safe and effective botanical.
Wide variations in active ingredients are characteristic of any botanical. For example, when Pharmanex® analyzes potential Ginkgo biloba leaves, studies reveal the concentrations of active components will vary by as much as 300% depending on season, climate, soil, method of harvest, storage conditions, and processing. Pharmanex® optimizes
the active ingredients of a product through strict, proprietary standardization
processes (to at least one relevant marker molecule). Each capsule of
a Pharmanex® product contains the same amount of each active ingredient.
The active ingredient
amount used is based on dosages found effective through clinical trials
and is backed by published data on file at Pharmanex®. Each product
label details directions for use and contains appropriate warning information.
Pharmanex® only makes product claims that have been substantiated through documented preclinical and clinical studies. Existing clinical data are reviewed, and when necessary, Pharmanex® sponsors studies of its products. Data from some of these studies are subsequently submitted to major international journals for review. This adherence to
scientific standards for substantiation helps make Pharmanex® a leader
in the natural healthcare product industry. The attention to detail, strict
scientific testing, and commitment to quality ensures that every Pharmanex®
product is provided by nature and proven by science.
