Quality Standards
How Vivalis is made, sourced and tested, and what every lot has to pass before it ships.
Where it is made
Vivalis is manufactured in the United States in a facility that is registered with the FDA and operates under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). In practice that means documented procedures, controlled raw-material intake, sanitation protocols and full batch records for traceability, the same framework that lets us publish a specific batch on the verification page.
Independent laboratory testing
Manufacturing controls are only half the story. Every production lot is also sent to Marwick Analytical Group, LLC, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, for a fresh round of testing. We treat the in-house process as the discipline and the third-party result as the proof.
What each lot is tested for
- Identity - confirming each botanical is what the label says, by HPLC fingerprint.
- Potency - verifying the standardized actives meet their stated amounts.
- Heavy metals - lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury by ICP-MS, screened to < 0.6 ppm (ICP-MS).
- Microbiology - total counts and pathogens, Within USP <2021> limits (Pass).
- Pesticides and residues - screened against established limits.
Sourcing
Botanicals are selected from suppliers who can document origin and provide their own certificates of analysis. Maca is sourced from Peruvian growers, and the standardized extracts such as horny goat weed and mucuna pruriens are chosen specifically for verified active levels rather than lowest cost. Each incoming lot is quarantined and tested before it enters production.
Allergens and dietary notes
Vivalis is non-GMO and made without added gluten, soy or dairy. The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose. As always, check the full label if you have specific sensitivities.
The current batch and certificate are on the verification page. Quality is the process; verification is the result on the lot you receive.
