New! Oryana's Own Vitamin Brand!

Vitamer, the company we chose to manufacture our in-house brand of supplements, uses only the highest quality materials. These supplements are also manufactured and tested to the highest standards that you, our members-customers, expect.  All of the manufacturing facilities are audited and have passed the third party certification process for ‘Good Manufacturing Practices’ by the Natural Products Association, QAI and CCOF for Organic Certification.

What exactly, are good manufacturing practices?

  • Complete raw material sampling, including identification, analysis, and release to predetermined specifications.
  • Microbiological analysis to ensure absence of salmonella, E.coli, yeast, and molds
  • Room and equipment inspection used in blending, milling, drying, and coating
  • Double check weighing system of all ingredients to eliminate mixing errors
  • Testing for hardness, thickness, and friability at half hour intervals to ensure uniformity
  • Retention of all samples for a minimum of 3 years
  • Finished product sample analysis from production line

A few historical facts about Vitamer:

  • parent company was founded in 1924
  • Began hand encapsulating dried vegetables in 1925
  • Developed into pharmaceutically-registered manufacturing facility in the early 1940’s
  • Meets stringent requirements of State and Federal FDA, rare in dietary supplement industry

The company is also committed to environmental sustainability.  The shipping boxes are partially recycled and packed with 100% biodegradable and recyclable peanuts.  The recyclable amber glass bottles are made from 35% recycled material, and the white plastic caps are also recyclable.

We talked to other leading co-ops in the country that have high standards for their vitamins and supplements, and the same company kept coming up as being the highest quality available.  We feel confident that you will love the quality and pricing of our new vitamins.
