cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) is a set of guidelines set by the FDA and NSF International to ensure that nutritional supplements are safe, clean and effective. Vitamin Science’s cGMP certification covers:
- Staff training
- Raw material receiving
- Facility cleanliness
- Equipment sanitation
- Machinery maintenance
- Record keeping
Vitamin Science Gelatin Capsules
- Tightly controlled gelatin blending speed, duration and vacuum
- Carefully rolled for consistent gelatin thickness dried in tunnels with uniform horizontal laminar air flow
- Clear without any tinting or artificial colors for your patients’ safety and tolerability

Why Gelatin Capsules rather than Tablets for your Patients?
- Easy to swallow
- Unlike tablets, no binding glue
- Absorbed faster to a greater peak plasma concentration
- High pressure liquid chromatograph: Accurately identifies compounds at a parts-per-billion level.
- Perkin Elmer Gas chromatograph & Mass Spectrometer: Analyzes fatty acids and minerals; detects ultra-low-level PCBs, pesticides, heavy metals and contaminants.
- VITEK Microbial Identification System: Detects pathogens and harmful microbiological organisms.
- Dissolution equipment: Simulates digestion to ensure our products are bioavailable for your patients.
