3. The Pharmanex 6S Quality Process

4. Selection
Process of finding naturally occurring compound which have extraordinary health benefits for humans.

5. “Fewer than one-half of one percent of the planet’s 250,000 species of higher plants have been exhaustively analyzed for their chemical composition and medicinal properties. From that one-half of one percent, some twenty-five percent of all our prescription pharmaceuticals have been discovered.” Michael J Balick
Quote: Michael J Balick, Philecology Curator of Economic Botany and Director, Institute of Economic botany of the the NY Botanical Garden

6. Wild Cordyceps Sinensis
Used in China for at least 1000 years
Recognized as National Medicinal Treasure in China
Ancient records tell of an amazing organism able to transform from animal to plant

7. Sourcing
Once Pharmanex has selected a particular natural product, our experts investigate possible commercial sources from across the globe. This is the second “S.”

8. Wild Cordyceps Sinensis

9. Over 200 strains of Cordyceps tested
CS-4 (grown in soy medium) recognized by Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Medicinal Sciences as most like wild Cordyceps

10. Green Tea
Exclusive rights to fields in the richest tea producing region of China
Processed at Cinogen, Pharmanex’s manufacturing facility in China.

11. Structure
Pharmanex scientists carefully analyze the chemical structures of compounds found in natural products to identify not only the active constituents, but also any potentially unsafe compounds.

12. Magnolia Bark
Pharmanex uses the same techniques as pharmaceutical companies
We found two compounds, Honokiol and Magnolol which have significant calming properties.

13. Standardization
Standardization eliminates natural variation and guarantees that each capsule or tablet of a Pharmanex product contains the same quantity of active ingredient.

14. Standardization
Many brands do not provide desired benefits because they lack consistency. The potency and/or purity of the extract varies from tablet to tablet.

15. Safety
Pharmanex tests for pesticides, heavy metals, micro-contamination, correct herb identification, potency, and purity
Safe supplementation for athletes

16. Federal law requires that we screen all plants for any of 32 common pesticides.
Pharmanex tests for over
500!
here is a picture of one of our machines, the gas chromatography/mass spectometer
There are about 210,000 reasons why most companies don't have one of these, but you are welcome to drive down to Provo and check out the MILLIONS of dollars worth of equipment we use to make sure you are getting what you think you are when you take your supplements.

17. We Screen the Ingredients...
Pharmanex screens for potency and purity of raw ingredients. If they don’t match, we reject them.
Lots of nutrients look alike--yellow powder (Riboflavin vs. CoQ10)
Frequently, the potency is wrong (Vitamin C)

18. Safe Supplementation for Athletes
Pharmanex is official supplier to US Olympic teams.
We test our products, then test people on the products, exactly as the Olympic Athlete screeners do

19. Substantiation
Pharmanex makes product claims that are substantiated by documented pre-clinical and clinical studies.

20. Tegreen
Pharmanex recently submitted applications for 2 patents relating to green tea as a result of collaboration with Purdue University (Dr. Rippe, from the SAB)
