Nutri-West manufacturing is run and governed under the rules of the Federal Good Manufacturing Practice Act (GMP) and as such is inspected regularly by the American Food and Drug Administration.

Nutri-West manufacturing received the FDA Blue Ribbon Award for Excellence.

All raw materials used in the manufacturing of Nutri-West products are supported by a certificate of analysis by the raw material manufacturer, which guarantees potency (i.e. a pharmaceutical grade for vitamins and minerals and certified grade for herbs). Certification of the herbs guarantees that the pharmacologically active parts of the plants are used in Nutri-West products. At regular random intervals, these samples are sent to independent laboratories for analysis.

All herbs and food concentrates used in Nutri-West products are certified organically grown whenever available. All glandular sources are from certified bovine sources. All nutrients are tested for heavy metal toxicity and contamination by independent certified laboratories. No artificial preservatives, colourings, additives, flavourings or stabilisers are used in manufacturing.  Nutri-West products are as hypoallergenic as possible. Common allergy-reactive substances such as wheat, yeast and corn are avoided.

Minerals
Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body. They contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the human body. The trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and trace elements serve as vital catalysts for the biological reactions that take place within the body. They are found, for example, in bones, teeth and soft tissues. They are needed for the production of blood, hormones and enzymes, thus serving a life sustaining function.

The absorption of minerals and trace elements (excluding electrolytes) is generally less efficient than that of other nutrients. The term “bioavailability” refers to the degree to which a particular nutrient is available for use in the body. There are many factors which influence bioavailability including the compound form of the mineral or trace element.

Boron helps influence the metabolism of nutrients that help maintain bone health and may play a role in hormone regulation.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. Its primary function – in cooperation with phosphorus – is to help build and maintain bones and teeth. Calcium aids the blood-clotting process and helps control the passage of fluids through cells. Calcium is also is related to proper functioning of the heart and neuromuscular system.

Magnesium is involved in muscle contraction and nerve function. At least half of the magnesium in the body is combined with calcium and phosphorus in bones. The remainder is in soft tissues including red blood cells and muscles.
