Safe products made in China? You bet!

We are proud to share with you that the production facility of our primary supplier of prepared traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal formulas is the first factory of its kind in China to achieve third party certification for compliance with the FDA’s current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). The production facility, Hunan Nature Pharmaceuticals, receives its FDA cGMP compliance certification from NSF International, a U.S. based, independent, non-profit, product and facility compliance auditing company.

What does this mean for you, our HealthPoint patient? It means you can be sure that the herbal formulas we use are manufactured with the highest possible standards at every step of the way, from the purchase and storage of raw materials to the final handling of finished products at supplier’s warehouse in Colorado. It means you can be sure that HealthPoint is always focused on the safety and well being of our patients and clients. Our suppliers strictly adhere to the following procedures with every batch of every formula they manufacture.

Using the correct species from the authentic growing region is essential in herbal medicine. A certified Quality Assurance expert verifies the quantity and correct identity of each herb in every formula. Traditional organoleptic assessment is combined with thin Layer Chromatography to ensure that all raw materials conform to strict standards specified in the official Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

Our formulas are made with precise specifications to maximize potency while preserving traditional preparation methods. Extracts replicate the traditional Chinese decoction process, and our clearly-stated concentration ratios provide transparency for accurate dosage calculation.

Every batch of extract powder is tested twice to ensure the absence of pesticide residues, microbiological contaminants, and heavy metals. The first round of tests is completed at a fully-equipped manufacturing facility; the second round of tests is performed at an independent, third-party laboratory. Our supplier uses the most extensive third-party lab testing in the industry and all test results meet or exceed the standards of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia.

Encapsulation, bottling and labeling are done at a finished products facility that is also certified as meeting all FDA cGMP requirements by NSF international.

Finished formulas are shipped tamper resistant to our supplier’s certified warehouse in Boulder, CO, from which they are shipped to HealthPoint.

All pertinent product information is disclosed on product labels; showing the amount of each ingredient, the concentration ratio, and all potential allergens. The formulas we sell formulas contain no chemicals, pharmaceuticals, sugars, or dyes.

With independent certification that our supplier’s factory is FDA compliant, the fact that our extract powders are manufactured in the People’s Republic of China need not be reason for concern. This certification plus the testing procedures outlined above assure everyone who uses our internal herbal formulas that they are getting a safe, effective product every time. We are committed to excellence and to your safety. Everything we do and have done is proof of that commitment.
