Nutri-Link imports and distributes a comprehensive range of the highest quality nutritional supplements directly to healthcare professionals and their patients/clients. These supplements are specifically designed for nutritional medicine related problems and are based on over 50 years of combined formulation experience by the manufacturers and in excess of 40 years clinical experience from the founders.
The companies Nutri-Link represent have consistently demonstrated their commitment to the manufacture of highest quality supplements over many years. They have been chosen by Nutri-Link because they source the highest quality raw materials, avoid using low allergen risk components and employ scientists, researchers, medical and non-medical clinicians to provide continued input to product development and efficacy.
Nutri-Link is committed to providing the best service to our valued customers by offering personalised attention to the individual needs of healthcare professionals, technical support, rapid-response times and a professionally accredited educational programme.
We believe that when provided with the correct nutrition our bodies have a remarkable capacity to self heal. We also believe that nutrition should be personalised to meet the unique biochemical needs of each individual. It is for these reasons and many more that we set up Nutri-Link Ltd.
Manufacturing
Nutri-Link nutritional supplements are produced in licensed manufacturing facilities that strictly adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP’s).
Products are provided in tablet, capsule, powder and liquid form. They are made in a manufacturing facility licensed by the State of Texas as a drug manufacturer and food processor and registered with the USA Food and Drug Administration as a drug manufacturing establishment. This facility is also approved by governmental agencies in the United Kingdom, the European Community (EC) Canada and Australia.
Current GMP’s and written standard operating procedures (SOP’s) are strictly followed through all stages of production to produce products that meet or exceed United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards.
Other products are manufactured in the state of California by another cGMP facility and in a world leading cGMP fatty acid manufacturing plant in Norway.
Raw Material Specifications
The active ingredients used in Nutri-Link distributed products are selected based on their purity, bioavailability, documented actions, and safety characteristics. USP materials, i.e. those meeting USP standards, are used for those nutrients where this standard exists. Raw materials are purchased exclusively from reputable vendors who provide detailed Certificates of Analysis for every lot of material. These certificates certify that active components, toxic elements, and microbial content are within specified acceptable parameters. Purity and potency of selected raw materials are then verified through independent testing laboratories as well as by in-house testing facilities. All incoming raw materials undergo quarantine, inspection, and evaluation.
Quality Control Laboratories
The nutritional supplements distributed by Nutri-Link are assessed by the manufacturer’s on-site laboratory personnel whose job it is to evaluate the physical characteristics of each finished product including hardness, disintegration, moisture balance, friability, and pH. The purity and potency of finished product is independently verified through outside commercial laboratories using a randomised ingredient and batch testing programme as well as ‘in house’ testing. Biotics Research Corporation also provides a National Drug Code (NDC) number on all of their products ensuring 100% traceability right through to the site of growth or collection of plant materials.
Excipients
The products distributed by Nutri-Link were chosen by their founders and by the manufacturers to be free of artificial flavours, preservatives, and colourings. Naturally-derived, inert excipient materials, including cellulose-based excipients, vegetable-derived magnesium stearate, L-leucine, and silicon dioxide are used in very small amounts as tableting and encapsulation aids. Biotics Research tablets are manufactured exclusively using a patented formula that ensures that product remains biologically active throughout its transit.
All the tableted products are protected with an inert, water-soluble cellulose coating that dissolves readily upon ingestion, facilitating tablet disintegration time. Where possible vegetarian capsules are used and are made from plant cellulose. Most importantly all common allergens such as wheat, corn, soy, yeast, and dairy are avoided except where specifically chosen for the needs of a particular nutritional supplement.
