LakkenahalliMagadi Taluk · Karnataka

One campus. Every step on it.

Extraction, quality control and research share one site west of Bengaluru, so a batch stays in our hands from the raw botanical to the certificate of analysis.

02 · Quality control

Tested at three points, documented at all of them.

With HPLC instrumentation and a dedicated microbiology laboratory, our Quality Control department tests every raw material, in-process sample and finished product against its specification.

Raw materials
Botanical identity, the right plant and the right part, marker content and microbiology, before release to production.
In process
Samples drawn during extraction and finishing, so a batch is steered to its specification rather than corrected afterwards.
Finished product
Potency, purity and microbiology against the specification, with a certificate of analysis for every batch.
