We source, verify, and document every raw material to the same standard we'd expect for our own brand — so your product is built on a foundation that holds up to scrutiny.
Quality ingredients are not a checkbox — they are the foundation of every safe, effective, and compliant supplement product. Here is how Jourthon approaches raw material standards.
Every incoming raw material batch is independently tested to confirm it is exactly what it claims to be, at the stated active level — not just based on the supplier's own COA.
We coordinate third-party testing for heavy metals, microbial load, and pesticide residues on all key raw materials, aligned with Health Canada and FDA standards.
Each raw material lot is tracked from the original supplier through to the finished product, with complete documentation available for client audits and regulatory review.
All raw material suppliers are qualified against strict quality and certification criteria before being approved. We prioritize suppliers with established GMP, organic, and non-GMO credentials.
Our raw material verification process follows a structured four-stage protocol, ensuring nothing enters production without passing independent quality checks.
All incoming raw materials are quarantined immediately upon arrival and held until testing is complete. No material enters inventory without clearance.
Samples are tested against authenticated reference standards using FT-IR, UV-VIS, ICP-MS, or HPLC to confirm the material is genuine and at the stated potency.
Third-party labs screen for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and pesticide residues. Results are benchmarked against USP and Health Canada limits.
Only after all tests pass is the material released into inventory. Full batch records, COAs, and test reports are filed and available for client review.
We believe the quality of a finished supplement is determined long before it reaches the production floor. That is why ingredient selection at Jourthon is driven by clinical relevance, supplier integrity, and regulatory suitability — not lowest cost.
Supplier-provided Certificates of Analysis are a starting point, not a final answer. Jourthon coordinates independent third-party laboratory verification for all critical raw materials, adding an additional layer of assurance that what is on the label is what is in the product.
We source materials that align with the certifications your brand and your customers expect, from GMP compliance to specialty dietary requirements.
