Lipogen follows the highest quality standards in manufacturing its products. In fact, the company undergoes quality control audits equivalent to pharmaceutical companies, covering all manufacturing stages, end to end. This strict process begins with the sourcing and production of raw materials and continues through to the finished product, including testing in an independent external laboratory. Before any product leaves our facility, it has been approved to meet our standards of excellence.
Here are the primary systems we use and the standards we follow across the quality assurance spectrum.
Meeting international standards for air filtration, Lipogen processes air that circulates in its production areas through a bank of HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filters that remove airborne particles. Air quality is routinely tested in Lipogen's in-house laboratory.
Lipogen does not use dangerous solvents in its product manufacturing. This natural approach and Lipogen's use of clean water minimize contamination and make for healthier products. Water samples are routinely verified for purity in Lipogen's testing laboratory.
Lipogen uses food-grade cleaning-in-place (CIP) cleaners to sanitize equipment between batches, as required by FDA, EMEA, GAMP, cGMP and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards. Cleaners used are environmentally friendly and many cleaning components are recycled to preserve the environment.
