QUALITY STANDARDS
T.A. Sciences' Commitment to Product Quality
End-to-End Quality
T.A. Sciences is committed to ensuring the highest quality from end-to-end of the supply chain, i.e., from the sourcing of T.A. Sciences' starting raw ingredient in China to the formulation and manufacture of the finished product in the United States. This dedication to quality entails a rigorous testing and analysis program across all phases of supply and production, from start to finish.
Proprietary Process for Extracting Purified TA-65®
After more than 3 years of research and development, T.A. Sciences in conjunction with experts in Canada, Hong Kong, and the U.S. has perfected an exclusive method for extracting the naturally-occurring TA-65 molecule from the Astragalus root. We are the first company to isolate TA-65 from the plant. The result of this exclusive, proprietary extraction process is a powder that is over 90% pure TA-65: the potent, Telomerase-Activating molecule.
Footnote: The Telomerase-Activating potency of TA-65 has been independently proven in rigorous tests by The Geron Corporation.
First, T.A. Sciences harvests plant material from specifically selected farms in one small region in China. These plants are twice as potent as normal plants of the same species grown in other parts of China. They are then sent to our exclusive plant extraction facility where the raw Astragalus root is chopped up and refined. After initial extraction, the base ingredient is further purified and then sent to an outside government testing facility where it is tested for purity, heavy metals, and pesticides. Then this base material is sent to T.A. Sciences' contracted laboratories in Canada. Each shipment is accompanied by a verified Certificate of Analysis, ensuring the identity and purity of this material. The Canadian laboratory is a modern state-of-the-art facility certified to produce drugs to FDA standards. There the base material is further processed to yield the single TA-65 molecule. After being refined to over 90% purity, each batch goes through a final inspection, using a proprietary, patent-protected assay exclusive to T.A. Sciences.
Formulated and Manufactured in Accordance With Stringent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
From T.A. Sciences' labs in Canada, the single molecule TA-65 is sent-- again with an authenticated Certificate of Analysis to ensure purity, potency, and quality-- to be formulated and produced into capsules by Garden State Nutritionals in the United States. The TA-65 is blended with USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade excipients and produced according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for Nutritional Supplements, in Garden State's state-of-the-art facilities. The GMP practices followed by Garden State are equal to the best practices in the nutritional supplements industry.
