Quality Control
The manufacturing protocol at Jarrow Industries is set forth in standard operating procedures (SOP’s). Jarrow Industries SOP’s exceed the standards set forth in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and the GMP’s.
The Quality Control/Assurance department is separate and distinct from the Production Department,  and has full authority to reject ingredients, reject finished product and stop production, without the approval of other company management. Jarrow Industries QC/QA department is headed by staff with post-graduate degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The QC/QA team consists of 4 full-time employees including full-time inspectors in production.
All ingredients are quarantined upon receipt and tested for quality, consistency and purity by novel analytical process technology, Near Infra-Red (NIR) Spectroscopy, in conjunction with independent certification of analysis, usually by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) unless another method is superior).
All ingredients are coded and assigned a unique lot number. Production batch records are QC’d by three senior managers prior to blending, and specialized batch process software program provides a failsafe mechanism to prevent misidentification of ingredients. Jarrow Industries balances are calibrated and QC’d four times per year by factory technicians and checked daily with calibrated standard weights.
All production is performed in clean rooms, supplied with HEPA filtered compressed air. All production rooms are serviced by "Central Dust Collection" particulate remediation systems. Production rooms are sanitized prior to the commencement of every capsule filling run.
All manufacturing and packaging equipment is sanitized prior to the commencement of every capsule filling run. Jarrow Industries equipment is brand-new and state-of-the-art, and includes capsule weight checking, deformed capsule rejection and de-dusting.
Each Jarrow Industries lot is tested by NIR and frequently corroborated with results from an independent laboratory for final confirmation of potency and conformance with ingredient levels. Some complex products are not amenable to finished product testing. In these cases, each ingredient is analyzed before encapsulation. All finished products must pass the USP Microbial Limits Test.
Ingredient Quality
Our ingredients are selected solely on the basis of quality and in forms that provide optimum potency and bioavailability. We rely on trusted and well-known branded sources.
The company's minerals are fully reacted using the most bioavailable amino acid chelates to enhance absorption, including aspartates, citrates, glycinates, ascorbates, and picolinates. We list materials by their elemental weight.
Jarrow Industries sources many botanical extracts from the top continental herbalists, including Emil Flaschmann and Nuova Linnea (Switzerland), Indena (Italy), and Kaden (Germany). Many of these extracts contain the highest possible standardized amounts of their active ingredients and meet the uncompromising standards of the German Commission E monograph.
We maintain strict standards from start to finish. All of our suppliers must perform rigorous analytical tests to confirm the identifications and purity of the raw material. We have certificates of analysis and testing results from the most sophisticated of analytical methodology, such as HPLC, ICP-MS to ensure us that we provide our customers with the highest possible pharmaceutical grade supplements.
There are absolutely no hidden fillers or coatings, binders, shellacs, artificial colors, fragrance or excipients which may disrupt or diminish the bioavailability of any of these ingredients. Furthermore, our products are free of wheat, yeast, gluten, corn, sugar, starch, preservatives or hydrogenated oils.
