Top-notch Team Meeting Clients’ Needs
Nulab is an FDA-registered manufacturer of dietary supplements. The company makes products for various sales channels, including health food and mass market retail stores, radio and TV marketers, and health care professionals.
Nulab’s products are sold in several countries. Most of its production is evenly divided between the USA and Latin America. About 20 percent goes to Europe and Indonesia.
The company, which was founded in 1992 by CEO Hakan Johansson, occupies over 70,000 square feet of space in Clearwater, FL, employing 85 people. Twelve chemists work in the Quality Control and Assurance departments, making sure that Nulab complies with the new FDA regulations for dietary supplement manufacturing.
Nulab’s production capacity is in excess of four million tablets and capsules per day. The company can fill 50 thousand bottles with tablets or capsules daily and 150 thousand containers with powder. Nulab also makes single-dosage sachets (daily capacity 250,000) and blisters (daily capacity 75,000).
Product development is an important part of the company. Scientific Director Anatoly Antoshechkin, PhD recently developed a complex with the four primary adaptogens. This preparation—ADMAX PLUS—has been the subject of two clinical trials. The first trial showed that the product increased the production of T-cells and immunoglobulins among women undergoing chemotherapy. The second study demonstrated that the product more than doubles the activity of two genes: PANK2, which is involved in the body’s energy metabolism, and IGHG1, which is connected with immune system activity.
Antoshechkin graduated as a medical doctor from the First Moscow Medical Institute. He also holds a doctorate degree in molecular genetics. He previously worked at the Soviet Institute of Space Research, the Russian Institute of Molecular Genetics and at the Russian Olympic Committee. Antoshechkin is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences.
Nulab’s product development team also has specialists in flavor technology. This has led to a line of great-tasting chewable dietary supplements.
The company is familiar with what is required to register a dietary supplement in a foreign country, and will provide such documentation including Export and Free Sales Certificates and certified cGMPs.
In line with the new FDA regulations, Nulab’s mission is to maintain a standard of quality throughout manufacturing that translates into an excellent product for our customer. See www.nulabinc.com for a video tour of Nulab’s manufacturing process.
Quality Assurance Director Catalina Ordonez, MS and Quality Control Director Sergio Miranda, BA work to supervise the critical control points that are essential to build quality into a product. A complete analytical laboratory, headed by Laboratory Director Edwar Olarte, BA, analyzes all raw materials as well as finished products for identity, purity, strength and composition.
Ordonez, in her capacity as quality assurance director, headed the task force that for one year implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to comply with the new regulations to make dietary supplements. She and her team of supervisors hold weekly training sessions for employees and carry out inspections to make sure that the SOPs are followed to the letter.
Part of Nulab’s services that are available to a customer is a full-service graphics design department, including video editing.
Nulab has produced a number of best-selling products, such as CALMAX, a top selling calcium and magnesium supplement (over seven million units sold to date).
