In the beginning...

Our formulation department relies on peer-reviewed literature from around the world to develop unique and effective formulations. Each formulation is subjected to a safety and efficacy review. Each ingredient, its identity, purity, source and contribution to the formulation is reviewed by qualified personnel that include chemists, toxicologists, regulatory experts and manufacturing experts. The combination rationale is evaluated to see if any given combination of ingredients makes good scientific sense.
 
In the development laboratory, samples are created and subjected to a host of chemical, microbial and sensory tests. In the 'scale up' laboratory pilot, batches of products are created to study the behavior of the formulation at different batch sizes and in different processing machinery.
 
All materials that land on the receiving dock are inspected, sampled, tested and screened for contaminants such as lead, arsenic, cadmium and total mercury. Each ingredient is reviewed by qualified personnel prior to use in any batch of finished product. The material could be an active ingredient, a flavor or a packaging component like an empty bottle or cap. Each material in the plant is covered by written specifications that define the necessary standards and comply with internationally accepted criteria for pharmaceutical ingredients. Only after materials have passed such rigorous tests are the materials admitted to the factory for further processing.
 

During the process...

Manufacturing is conducted in environmentally monitored production suites. All equipment in the factory is subjected to rigorous calibration and preventative maintenance schedules. All cleaning procedures have been validated to ensure residue-free contact parts. All of the water – whether used in the factory for cleaning or as an ingredient in the formulation – is highly purified and filtered.
 
Samples are withdrawn throughout the manufacturing process to ensure that finished products coming off of the production lines meet all specifications. Each manufacturing line is overseen by a qualified individual with strict quality criteria.
 

At the end...

All products produced in the H-TRIO™ facilities are tested against written specifications in order to guarantee that what is on the label is indeed in the bottle. H-TRIO™ uses an independent, third party contract laboratory for each and every lot of product.
 

After the end...

H-TRIO™'s partners are accredited by Health Canada and hold all necessary operational licenses to manufacture natural health products in Canada. Comprehensive market surveillance programs are in place to monitor adverse events worldwide so that the latest information is always available to H-TRIO™ customers.
 
In an age of increasing popularity and widening consumer acceptance, the shelves of retailers seem to be bursting at the seams with choice. However, natural health products researched, developed, manufactured and tested at credible Canadian organizations need to be the products of choice to ensure safety and efficacy. H-TRIO™'s partners are Canadian – the owner would not produce a product that he would not offer to his own children.

Would you want anything but the best for your children?

Why settle for anything less for yourself?
