Six-Stage Verification Protocol

Each production batch moves through six defined stages. Documentation is generated at every stage transition. A batch advances only when the current stage documentation is complete and filed.

01
SUPPLIER SELECTION

Supplier Assessment & Certificate Review

Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. Sourcing prioritises suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards. Each candidate supplier undergoes a structured documentation review before approval. The assessment examines chain-of-custody records, processing facility classification, and lot traceability data. Only suppliers who can demonstrate a complete paper trail from raw material origin to finished ingredient are accepted into the Galdon supply chain.

FORMULATION

Compositional Calibration

Ingredient profiles in Galdon supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy. Ingredient ratios for each composition line are determined by cross-referencing the target elemental profile against the concentrations documented in the published nutritional research database maintained by the formulation team. Ratios are reviewed and, where necessary, recalibrated at each reformulation cycle. The formulation record for each composition is archived as a revision-controlled document.

PRODUCTION

Batch Production & Lot Coding

Each production run is assigned a unique lot code at initiation. The lot code is linked to the supplier certificate records from Stage 01 and the formulation record from Stage 02. Production is conducted under food-grade processing conditions at the Jakarta facility. In-process checks verify that ingredient quantities correspond to the calibrated formulation record. Any deviation triggers a documented non-conformance entry and a production hold pending review.

VERIFICATION

Independent Laboratory Verification

Representative samples from every production batch are submitted to an independent laboratory for compositional analysis. The laboratory is selected on the basis of documented accreditation and has no commercial relationship with the ingredient suppliers. The assay measures elemental concentrations and verifies that values correspond to the label claims. Results are returned as a formal certificate of analysis, which is filed against the lot code and retained in the batch archive. Batches that return values outside the specified tolerance range are quarantined and do not proceed to release.

ARCHIVING

Lot Record Archival

Upon successful independent verification, all documentation for the production batch is consolidated into a single lot record. The lot record contains: the supplier certificate from Stage 01, the formulation revision document from Stage 02, the in-process production log from Stage 03, and the certificate of analysis from Stage 04. The consolidated record is filed in the Galdon archive system under the assigned lot code. Archive entries are assigned a revision number and a filing date. The archive is reviewed quarterly for completeness.

RELEASE

Release Authorisation & Distribution

A batch is authorised for release only when the complete lot record from Stage 05 has been filed and verified as containing all required documents. The release authorisation is issued as a signed entry in the batch release register. Distribution identifiers are linked to the lot code so that the full documentation chain remains accessible at the retail unit level. This linkage enables complete traceability from individual unit back to supplier certificate. The release register is retained alongside the archive for a minimum retention period of five years per batch.

02 / SOURCING

Supplier Network Overview

The Galdon supply network consists of ingredient suppliers operating under documented food-grade processing conditions. No supplier is retained without a current certificate of composition and an active chain-of-custody record on file.

CATEGORY A

Mineral Ingredient Suppliers

Zinc, magnesium, selenium, and iron are sourced from regional suppliers whose processing facilities operate under documented food-grade conditions. Elemental purity is verified at the independent laboratory stage for every batch. Supplier certificates are cross-referenced against assay results before any formulation approval.

ACTIVE SUPPLIERS: 4 approved / 2 standby
CATEGORY B

Vitamin Compound Suppliers

B-group vitamins, vitamin D3, vitamin C, and vitamin K2 are sourced from suppliers whose documentation includes origin mapping to the synthesis or extraction region. Each vitamin ingredient batch is accompanied by a stability data sheet alongside the certificate of composition. Lot-to-lot consistency is tracked across the archive.

ACTIVE SUPPLIERS: 3 approved / 1 standby
CATEGORY C

Functional Ingredient Suppliers

CoQ10 and other functional co-ingredients are sourced under the same documentation requirements as Categories A and B. Supplier assessments for this category include an additional review of active-content concentration data, as functional ingredient active content can vary significantly between batches and between suppliers.

Documentation Standards Reference

The Galdon documentation system draws on established reference frameworks for nutritional supplement record-keeping. These frameworks inform the structure and content requirements of each document type in the lot record.

DOCUMENT TYPE
Certificate of Composition
Issued by the ingredient supplier for each batch of active ingredient delivered. Contains elemental or compound concentration data, lot number, production date, and the supplier's facility reference. Cross-referenced against independent assay results at Stage 04 of the verification protocol.
DOCUMENT TYPE
Certificate of Analysis
Issued by the independent laboratory following compositional analysis of batch samples. Contains the measured concentration values, the reference method used, the measurement uncertainty, and the laboratory accreditation reference. This document is the primary release criterion: all values must fall within the specified tolerance band.
DOCUMENT TYPE
Formulation Revision Record
A revision-controlled document specifying the ingredient ratios, capsule shell specification, and serving composition for each composition line. Updated when reformulation occurs. Each revision is assigned a sequential number and a date. Superseded revisions are retained in the archive for a minimum of five years.
DOCUMENT TYPE
Lot Production Log
Generated during production at Stage 03. Records ingredient quantities used, in-process check results, any non-conformance events, and the production date and shift. The log is countersigned by the production supervisor before being filed against the lot code.
DOCUMENT TYPE
Chain-of-Custody Record
A traceable record of ingredient movement from the originating supplier facility to the Jakarta production site. Includes shipping documentation, temperature records for sensitive ingredients, and receipt confirmation. A complete chain-of-custody record is a prerequisite for supplier approval at Stage 01.
05 / FAQ

Process Questions

Independent laboratory verification is conducted on every production batch without exception. There is no sampling schedule that allows batches to proceed without a certificate of analysis. Each batch generates its own independent laboratory submission and its own certificate of analysis. These certificates are filed against the lot code and retained in the archive.

Any batch returning values outside the specified tolerance range at Stage 04 is placed into quarantine and does not proceed to the archiving or release stages. A non-conformance entry is logged and a root-cause investigation is initiated. The investigation outcome is documented and the record is filed. Quarantined batches are not released under any circumstances — they are either destroyed or returned to the production facility for investigation. The financial cost of non-conformance is absorbed internally; it does not create pressure to release a failing batch.

Lot records are retained for a minimum of five years from the batch release date. This retention period covers the useful shelf-life of the batch plus a minimum post-market surveillance window. Superseded formulation revision documents are retained for the same period. The archive is reviewed quarterly to verify completeness and to confirm that retention obligations are being met.

The laboratory is selected on the basis of documented accreditation for the analytical methods used in compositional analysis of nutritional supplements. A key criterion for selection is the absence of a commercial relationship with any of the ingredient suppliers in the Galdon supply network. This independence is essential: a laboratory that also provides services to the supplier whose ingredient it is analysing cannot be considered truly independent. The laboratory selection is reviewed annually and documented in the process archive.

A summary of the lot record for any batch currently in distribution is available on request through the contact form on the contact page. The summary includes the lot code, the archive filing date, the independent laboratory reference, and the certificate of analysis outcome. The full certificate of analysis document is available for review upon request, subject to a verification step confirming the requestor holds a unit from that batch. Contact the Galdon office for further information.

In the Galdon supplier assessment context, food-grade processing standard refers to the classification of the processing environment and equipment as appropriate for the manufacture of food-grade nutritional ingredients. This classification is assessed through the supplier's own documentation and, where available, through third-party audit records held by the supplier. The term refers to a descriptive classification only, without referencing any specific certification scheme: it is applied during the Galdon supplier review process. It means the production environment is appropriate for an ingredient that will be consumed as part of a food supplement.
