Drug Manufacturing
Our top products are produced in an FDA-registered drug facility.
- We manufacture and market pharmaceuticals, OTC and dietary supplements, world-wide.
- Batch to batch, bottle to bottle, pill to pill, our products are consistent and as used in clinical trials.
ITI is one of only a select few dietary supplement manufacturers that are in full compliance with GMPs that have
already been established for drug manufacturing facilities. Currently these standards are much more complex and
rigorous than those expected for dietary supplement manufacturers.
ITI conducts more than 35,000 tests on its products every year. The laboratory staff is extremely knowledgeable
regarding analytical methodology for botanicals and other nutrients. They have published research papers in respected
peer-reviewed journals.
ITI monitors and tests ingredients at various points during the manufacturing process. Before any raw material is
processed, it must pass through a "quarantine" period. As part of this inspection process, ITI scientists use a
variety of test methods, including High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA),
and other chromatographic techniques, along with microbiological analysis, to ensure the purity of every ingredient.
Lab analysis confirms ITI is using the correct plant and getting the right quality and quantity of chemical
constituents. These analyses makes certain that bacteria have not contaminated the raw materials. Raw materials are
also examined for contamination with pesticides or other toxins.
Process validation studies ensure that the written process approved for each product performs consistently from
batch to batch. Cleaning validation studies ensure that no residues from products, harmful microbes, or
cleaning/sanitizing products remain on the equipment. ITI’s cleaning validation program was modeled after the standards
maintained in drug manufacturing facilities.
ITI products include ingredients derived from a variety of extraction processes, including hot water extraction,
alcohol extraction and super critical CO2 extraction, to name a few. We at no time accept any raw material extracted
with solvents that have shown adverse health effects.
Global Responsibility
Beyond using raw materials that are organic, grown without pesticides/herbicides, and are GMO-free for health
standards, is the issue of sustainability for the health of the planet. Merely selecting materials that are free of
chemical contamination is not necessarily supporting the wise use of the planet’s resources. Sometimes there is an
overlap and sometimes, unfortunately, there is not.
ITI purchases raw materials from reliable vendors who accurately monitor and report how those materials are derived.
ITI does vendor spot-checks to make sure the information with which ITI is supplied is factual. ITI is cautious in
use of raw materials that are from ecologically sensitive species, be they animal or plant.
