Doctor's Best Quality Standards
Quality Standards
Doctor's Best produces products with the highest quality raw materials available on the market. How? We have direct control over and are an integral part of every aspect of product production, from formulation and raw material sourcing to finished product manufacturing. We directly purchase all active ingredients used in our products and use only the highest quality ingredients.
Science-Based Formulations
Science Based Formulations
Every product is thoroughly researched and backed by the latest scientific studies conducted in the field. Our formulations reflect the amounts of ingredients shown to be beneficial based on the results of scientific investigations. We use patented, trademarked ingredients backed by scientific studies and clinical research. We never use insignificant quantities to enhance the label.
Raw Materials
Raw Materials
Doctor's Best directly purchases only the highest grade raw materials from proven and reputable suppliers to be put into product formulations. All raw material suppliers go through our stringent vendor qualification process, which includes a multi-step investigation including all aspects of the production and handling procedures, to insure the highest level of quality is reached.
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing
IBC (Intermediary Bulk Container) currently shown blending materials.
Doctor's Best formulations are manufactured in HACCP, ISO-9001 and cGMP Certified state-of-the-art facilities to deliver unsurpassed purity and quality. Each Doctor's Best manufacturer goes through rigorous qualification measures to ensure the facility is not only cGMP Certified, but also lives up to the expectations we hold above and beyond FDA regulations for dietary supplements. Beyond ensuring our manufacturers facilities fully comply with GMP regulations, we also ensure each batch of our product is prepared according to GMP procedures. We demand our manufacturers provide documentation to prove compliance.
HEPA Filter
HEPA Filter
Doctor's Best manufacturing processes are contained within complete HEPA ceiling Class "clean rooms" supported by a series of Class "service rooms". Ingredient preparation and solution compounding is performed in a Class batching area. All operations comply with current US FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Water Purification
Purified Water
State-of-the-art water purification system combines reverse osmosis (RO) and ultra pure water technology for high quality ultra pure water. Flexibility for water purification levels and ensures a high grade of ultra pure water. The system monitors and sterilizes filters to accommodate specific needs while reducing operating costs.
Quality Control
High speed tablet press
Every Doctor's Best product goes through strict quality control points and testing procedures before reaching the consumer. At each stage of the manufacturing process, the product is being testing and controlled. Raw materials are quarantined and tested for identity, in-process materials are tested for ingredient accuracy and formulation potency, and the final product is quarantined and tested to ensure the product is in compliance with all formulation specifications, and meets all standards for purity and potency. If any product fails to meet our specifications, the product is refused and sent back to our suppliers.
Quarantine Period and Inspection of Raw Material
Science Chemist
In order to ensure every material received is pure and unadulterated every raw material is quarantined after being received by manufacturing. The material is inspected and tested for identity. That is, we make sure the product is exactly what the product formulation requires and what the consumer expects, free of fillers and any foreign substance. Lab analysis ensures the product is of the right grade, pure, and free of bacterial contamination or other toxins. Only after the product has been tested at multiple levels, thoroughly inspected and the Quality Assurance department confirms the material conforms to established specifications is the material released from quarantine and approved for processing.
Processing
High speed tablet press
Once an ingredient is approved by Quality Assurance (QA) for processing, the product goes through multiple control points throughout the production process. Extensive documentation takes place throughout the processing stage in order to verify each process was done according to the Master Manufacturing Record (MMR) and meets cGMP guidelines. Manufacturers use state-of-the-art equipment to blend and encapsulate or tablet the formulation into in-process material. Once the product has been encapsulated or tableted, the product is inspected, weighed and measured to ensure the product meets the manufacturing specifications of the formulation for potency and uniformity and the product is safe and unadulterated. If the product is found to be out of specification by QA, the batch is rejected and a material review is performed to check all control points and determine the cause of error or adulteration. QA will determine if the batch can be reprocessed to ensure quality or if the batch needs to be rejected and new production started. When the product is approved by QA, it is packaged and labeled using the same degree of control points used throughout the process to ensure the product is safe for consumption and sealed from outside contaminants. Documentation throughout this process, verified by QA, includes a MMR, production batch records, and a finished product Certificate of Analysis (C of A). The C of A verifies the finished product has met all product specifications for identity, purity, strength, composition and limits on contaminants.
Sanitation

Sanitation is a vital component of producing the highest quality product, which is why Doctor's Best conducts inspections of all manufacturing facilities used in producing our product. Each machine is inspected and thoroughly sanitized with cleaning agents approved for food grade and backed by Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). After each batch passes through a machine, the machine is inspected, sanitized and protected from any possible contamination in order to ensure the equipment is safe and sanitary for the next batch.
Testing
Testing
Doctor's Best uses state-of-the-art laboratories for testing raw material, in process material and finished product. Laboratories use scientifically validated testing methods and verify the appropriateness of each test being performed. Laboratory testing of Doctor's Best products utilizes methods established by organizations such as USP and AOAC, when available, and includes the use of sensitive analytical equipment such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AA), and Thermo Scientific Antaris™ II FT-NIR analyzers. Our extensive testing process verifies identity of raw materials, guarantees potency of the product, and confirms purity of all components along with ensuring compliance with all limits for microbes, heavy metals and contaminants.
Finished Product
Packaging line
Whether producing a product with one raw material component or many, each finished product is held to the highest cGMP standards and produced under rigid quality control points to ensure product safety, potency, and uniformity. Our rigorous quality assurance and control processes ensure our customers receive only the highest quality nutritional products that exceed industry standards and provide exceptional nutrition benefits.
