"I really like the fact that they manufacture according to GMP (good
manufacturing practices) which are the same standards that
pharmaceutical companies use."
I quote from the FDA site: "The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
regulation requires that all equipment used to manufacture a device
be designed and installed so that it can be adequately cleaned,
serviced, and adjusted as necessary to maintain the equipment's
accuracy, performance, and reliability (820.60). The degree of
maintenance of all equipment and frequency of calibration of
measuring equipment will depend on the type of equipment, frequency
of use, and importance in the manufacturing process. The GMP
regulation also implies that manufacturing materials such as mold
release compounds, cleaning agents, lubricating oils, and other
substances used to facilitate manufacturing, be procured and received
as components. If any of these materials has an adverse effect on the
finished device, then it must be removed to a safe level."
In other words, GMP has nothing to do with what is designed to be in
a pill, solely with the state of the machinery used to produce it.
Nothing to do with truth in labelling either.
Who publishes the "Physicians Desk Reference"? How many other
vitamin brands are mentioned in it?
