Sourcing Protocol

Quality Standards and Sourcing Criteria

At Vitamina Alami, quality is a rigorous set of protocols that govern every aspect of our operation. From the initial selection of a supplier to the way we manage storage in the Bandung heat, every decision is made with the goal of preserving the purity and potency of our botanical supplements.

Foundation of Botanical Integrity

Criteria for Raw Material Selection

The quality of a supplement begins in the soil. We prioritize suppliers who utilize organic or wild-crafted raw materials. This ensures that the botanicals are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which can leave residues in the final product.

We seek out ingredients harvested at the precise peak of their nutritional potency, ensuring that the natural profile of the plant is fully represented in every batch we offer.

Standardized Extraction

To ensure that every dose provides a consistent amount of active compounds, we favor standardized extracts. This process involves measuring specific marker compounds—such as the curcuminoids in Turmeric—to guarantee potency. We utilize clean methods like CO2 extraction or water-based processes rather than harsh chemical solvents.

Verification

Testing for Purity and Safety

Every batch of products we carry must undergo testing for contaminants. We maintain a database of analysis to ensure that every supplement on our shelves meets our safety benchmarks.

01

Contaminant Screening

We screen for heavy metals including lead and mercury, microbial growth, and common allergens. If a batch fails any metric, it is immediately removed from our inventory.

  • Heavy Metal Detection
  • Microbial Assessment
  • Allergen Verification
02

Clean Label Standards

Many commercial supplements are filled with magnesium stearate and artificial colors. We actively seek out products that use minimal, natural excipients like rice flour or vegetable cellulose.
