c. Finished product - formulation and development
d. Stability - stability studies are conducted on all our products as per ICH (International Conference for Harmonization) guidelines to ensure quality of the product throughout its shelf-life
Safety Assessment
a. Toxicological studies - acute, subchronic, chronic, and teratogenicity
Efficacy assessment
a. Activity - pharmacological
b. Clinical studies - phases I, II, & III
Formulation of products
a. Identification (Literature surveys of ancient classical texts and scientific literature)
b. Pharmacognosy - microscopical identification, macroscopical identification, maceration and cultivation
c. Pre-clinical pharmacology
d. Standardization - Certificate of analysis, quality assessment, purity
e. Formulation and Development - development of dosage forms, stability studies
f. Clinical studies - Phases I, II & III, and Phase I V (post-marketing surveillance)
ISO 9001:2000 based Quality Management System

c. QA regulates sourcing, site approval, GMP maintenance, transfer of technical documents, training support, product technology transfer, daily reviews and audits
d. For GMP - documentation of critical steps in the manufacturing process and any significant changes made to the process are validated
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
a. Organizational process; includes the conditions under which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported
b. Purpose
§ to promote development of quality test data
§ comparable for mutual acceptance in different countries
§ to avoid technical barriers to trade
§ to develop standards for herbal formulations
§ to protect human health and environment
c. GLP principles - Standard Operating Procedures, test facilities, personnel and test systems
Good Clinical Practices (GCP)
a. An international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting trials that involve human subjects

b. A prerequisite to manufacturing pharmaceutical-grade products
c. A code of conduct that lays down how crops must be grown right so quality of product is not compromised
d. Stipulates that use of pesticides and herbicides, if any, be documented, synthetic fertilizer be minimized and banning human sewage sludge in fields
e. Introduced by European Herb Growers Association
f. GAP considers parts of plant used, water availability, temperature during growing season, time of harvest, and storage and transport of the raw material as all impact the therapeutic properties of herbal medicine
g. Good Agricultural Practices are helped by Good Harvesting Practices
Good Harvesting Practices (GHP)
a. Covers wild crafting of medicinal plants
b. Designed to ensure that wild material is harvested in a sustainable and environmentally acceptable way
