Quest vitamins is based in the Aston Science Park (scientific and technological park) in Birmingham, United Kingdom, where the company together with university and research centers aim to connect research with product production and environmental protection.
Quest's factory is licensed by the UK Department of Health to manufacture nutritional supplements and all processes are governed by Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles.
For the innovation and development of its products
Quest ensures every time that the ingredients and their combination are always based on scientific research. This certifies that all Quest formulations available on the market meet even the highest possible standards, so consumers can safely use them to improve their health.
The scientific documentation of the ingredients and the practical applications for the safety and effectiveness of the products is the main reason for the relatively slow expansion of the company's range.
Quest dedication in the specialized production technology and the high quality it gives to its products results in the company giving more emphasis from the initial stage of selecting the raw material to the quality control of the final product.
The raw materials used arehypo-allergenic, so that the products are suitable even for the most sensitive organisms, they contain chemical compounds of metals with amino acids of high bioavailability, compounds particularly tolerated by the organism. Ingredients derived from animal sources are not used where possible.
The non-genetically mutated, modified and irradiated ingredients do not burden the body as they do not contain hydrogenated vegetable oils and saturated fats.
Quest has designed innovative methods (using TLC, HPLC and GC) to analyze the tablet, which certify that the herb extract contains all the ingredients and in the proportions that they exist in the natural state. In addition, the content of a specific active substance of the final tablet is certified. Anyone who uses Quest products knows that their content is consistent from batch to batch, month to month and year to year.
The effective balanced combinations
ensure that each formulation contains carefully selected combinations of ingredients so that the formulation is effective and safe without blocking the absorption of other ingredients. Quest has chosen to use a hypoallergenic coating for its products, which consists of pure water and vegetable cellulose. This coating protects the tablet from oxidation, improves its appearance, gives it a smooth surface and makes it easier to swallow.
Samples of each product are stored under controlled environmental conditions and periodically tested to verify the product's shelf life.
To better protect the product from light and moisture, recyclable, dark high-density polyethylene vials are used in the packaging. Each vial is surrounded by an outer security tape to protect the label and ensure the integrity of the contents.
Why choose Quest
For Quest, quality control is a primary concern of the company, which has a modern, fully equipped pharmaceutical laboratory. Before the production process of the supplements even begins, all raw materials are carefully analyzed for their content and purity. Quest's laboratory is fully equipped to carry out tests for disintegration, dissolution, durability, moisture and heavy metal content as defined by the British, American and European Pharmacopoeias (Pharmacopoeias).
An important factor in Quest's production license is its strict controls and ISO9001:2000 Quality System. Also, the company has been certified with the ISO14001 Environmental System, so that the burden on the environment from the entire operation of the facilities is minimal. Frequent audits by external independent auditors certify that Quest produces products of the highest quality.
The packaging of Quest products follows a color code so that the separation of the different categories is obvious.
Quest implemented color categorization for three reasons:
- placing on the shelf is easier and the different categories are immediately recognizable
- to facilitate the pharmacist or sales assistant in the identification and selection of the appropriate product
- to strengthen the image of Quest at the point of sale, thus facilitating the consumer's choice.
All products do not contain artificial preservatives, colors and fragrances, starch, sucrose, lactose and yeast as well as wheat and gluten derivatives.
