Quality control is not just a step in our process.
It is what ensures the consistency of everything we do.
From the sourcing of raw materials to the release of herbal supplements, every stage is carefully evaluated to ensure quality, purity, and standardization. Our goal is to deliver reliable herbal supplements, batch after batch.
Raw Materials
Quality begins at the source.
All raw materials go through a rigorous evaluation process before being approved for production.
We follow recognized references such as:
· American Herbal Pharmacopoeia
· Brazilian Pharmacopoeia
· Chinese Pharmacopoeia
· Official monographs from regulatory authorities
To ensure the quality of both raw materials and finished products, we perform a series of technical analyses throughout the process:
· Macroscopic identification
· Microscopic identification
· Sensory evaluation, including color, odor, and taste
· Moisture content
· Total ash analysis
This process ensures the authenticity and quality of the materials used in our formulas.
Analysis Stages
The analyses performed follow technical criteria and are essential to ensure the standardization of raw materials and products.
Botanical Identification
Species validation is carried out through macroscopic and microscopic analysis.
Characteristics such as structure, shape, texture, and cellular organization are evaluated to ensure accurate identification of the raw material.

Sensory Characteristics
Color, odor, and taste are evaluated as an initial quality and standardization check, allowing the identification of possible changes or contamination.
Total Ash
Total ash analysis determines the amount of mineral residue remaining after incineration.
This test is important for evaluating material purity.
Moisture Content
Moisture is measured through controlled heating of the sample until weight stabilization.
This parameter is essential to ensure product stability and preservation.

Finished Products
For finished products, we use a validation method based on historical data.
Since many herbal supplements do not have standardized external references, internal criteria are established based on:
· Analysis of multiple approved batches
· Calculation of mean and standard deviation
· Definition of acceptable variation ranges
This process ensures consistency and control, even in complex formulations.
All analyses are performed in triplicate, with automatic calculation of statistical parameters through a digital system.
Quality Control in Capsules
Capsules are produced from dry powdered extracts and undergo specific analyses to ensure uniformity and stability.
Among the main parameters evaluated are:
Moisture Content
Ensures extract stability and contributes to product preservation over time
Organoleptic Characteristics
Evaluation of color, odor, and visual consistency of the dry extract, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency
Bulk Density
Measures powder density to ensure proper capsule filling and dosage uniformity
pH
The extract is diluted and analyzed to verify pH, an important factor for product stability
Traceability and Control
All data is recorded in a digital system, with cloud storage and organization by production periods.
This allows:
· Real-time monitoring
· Automatic calculation of mean and standard deviation
· Full batch traceability
Physical records are also maintained for control and auditing purposes.
Non-Conformities
When a material or product does not meet established criteria, immediate actions are taken.
For raw materials:
· The supplier is contacted
· The material is replaced or returned
For finished products:
· The batch is analyzed
· Production records are reviewed
· The root cause is investigated
Depending on the case, the product may be reprocessed or discarded.
Commitment to Quality
Each stage of our quality control process is designed to ensure consistency, safety, and reliability.
Because the quality of an herbal supplement is not only defined by its composition, but by how every detail is controlled throughout the entire process.
