OneLifeUSA Quality - Accept Nothing Less

     1. Commitment to Quality: OneLifeUSA’s commitment to quality is exemplified by our in-house, full-service, quality control lab, assuring our excellence in four areas: raw materials, testing, process, and R & D.
 

     2. Certification: Our lab is proud to be NPA GMP-Certified. The NPA (Natural Products Association), formerly known as the NNFA (National Nutritional Foods Association) established its certification program in order to set and maintain high standards for the industry. This assures healthcare professionals, custom manufacturers, retailers, and the public that our manufacturing processes have been thoroughly inspected by a third party auditor.
     The certification program requires us to open every part of our facility for a comprehensive inspection; every section involved in manufacturing, packaging, testing, and distribution of dietary supplements must comply with their standards. This includes personnel, plant and grounds, sanitation, equipment, quality operations, production and process controls, as well as the warehouse, distribution, and post-distribution practices. Auditors must have expertise in food or pharmaceutical GMPs and are specially trained to conduct the NPA audits. Typically, they are longtime veterans of either the industry or the FDA. Because we attained the “A” rating for compliance, we were eligible to apply for full GMP certification, which we were awarded. For years, our manufacturing facility has made consistent quality our priority. This GMP Certification is further endorsement of our quality, facility, and practices.
 

     3. Raw Materials: Quality begins with carefully selected and analyzed raw materials. We pre-qualify all of our raw materials suppliers: investigating and auditing their facilities, processes, and standards. With our many years of experience in the industry, we have long-term relationships with the best growers and manufacturers.
     Every ingredient must have a certificate of analysis, is quarantined upon arrival at our facilities, and undergoes rigorous inspection before use.
 

     4. Testing: We have state-of-the-art equipment, and our in-house testing capabilities include:
• Raw material identification by IR spectroscopy.
• Microbiological screening for TPC, Coliform, E.coli, Enterobacteriase, Yeast, and Mold.
• Assay verification by High Performance Liquid Chromotography (HPLC) and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
• Mineral and metal analysis by AA.
• Testing for tablet disintegration, shelf-life stability, fill-weight, and hardness.
• Botanical identification by TLC (added during 2007) to ensure product potency.
• Third parties are used for pesticide and heavy metals analysis and for confirmation of critical or questionable results.
 

     5. Process: Our stringent quality control process closely monitors production from raw materials to finished product. Our Littleford blender is renowned for blending material uniformly; with follow-up analysis to verify that potency is accurate, tablet to tablet, capsule to capsule. Products are tested and inspected during manufacturing, and every finished capsule and tablet is visually inspected, with accuracy confirmed during a final analysis by the Quality Control Lab.
 

     6. Research and Development: We bring decades of formulating experience to each product, while evaluating the appropriateness of each combination of ingredients. Working closely with physicians over the years, we have a wealth of knowledge about nutritional and botanical ingredients that result in specialty products with effectiveness.

     Our dedication to quality is evident: Accept nothing less.
