Many manufacturers state that they produce pharmaceutical-grade products. The reality is that many such claims are overstated and that it is a buyer beware environment. Olfactive has both a Pharmaceutical Licence and a Natural Health Product Site Licence.

To obtain certification:

Validation: Before use of any equipment, Olfactive proceeds through rigid testing to confirm that all equipment can be properly cleaned, that the equipment operates within limits acceptable to regulations and that all processes deliver appropriate efficacies and cleanliness with regard to finished product. Equipment under this classification extends through all stages of production, including air-handling, blending, encapsulation, tablet compression, powder filling, all packaging, raw material handling, and cleaning equipment.

Testing: Before raw materials can be released for use, they must be accessed by our quality department. During the manufacturing process, a sample of blended product is taken for approval, as well as several in process finished samples. Before a product can be released to the customer, several samples must be sent for analysis on items related to efficacy and cleanliness. Then and only then can a product be released to a customer.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Every process performed at Olfactive has been standardized and written down to eliminate all confusion and streamline all processes regarding the production of a particular product. Each time new production efficiencies are gained, a change occurs to all affected SOPs As you can imagine, this protects our customers from variations in product that they receive and demonstrates why smaller run sizes of new products cost more. If they don’t, we recommend bracing yourself to variation in the product you receive.

Training: Every single employee at Olfactive receives continual training and testing to ensure proficiency in various job-related SOPs and GMPs. All tasks ranging from the reception of our guests at our facility to the process in changing the Hepa-filters on our air-handling units must be performed in a particular series of steps to guarantee consistency. Olfactive has been regularly audited by both their customers and various government agencies and every time we receive praise along the lines of "Not excessive, but extremely functional!"
