Why VPR?

The Revolution began quietly . . .

 

Twenty years ago, the first shots were fired in the war against aging. Almost overnight, Americans began to use terms like anti-aging and life extension. For the growing number of life extension enthusiasts worldwide, there was no single source for high potency, pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements. So in 1979, a small group of dedicated scientists and research chemists decided to create their own company to develop their own special formulas. Vitamin Research Products was born.

 

VRP's foundation is laid upon solid, scientific scrutiny. Talented research teams first spend countless hours, pouring through hundreds of journals and research abstracts to identify nutrients vital for optimal health. This is followed by the meticulous selection and careful teaming of the highest quality herbal extracts and pharmaceutical-grade nutrient powders, the same superior grade used today in cutting-edge biomedical research. This commitment to making the world's finest nutritional formulas is further underscored by the choice to provide most formulas in capsules, not tablets - a move that guarantees maximum nutrient content, absorption and potency.

 

Vitamin Research publishes an industry-leading newsletter covering the latest studies in nutritional science. VRP also maintains the internet's largest health and nutrition archive.

 

In the nutritional supplement industry, VRP enjoys a reputation for quality. Manufacturing USP-grade, high quality supplements starts with a commitment that every VRP staff member shares. But producing the world's finest nutritional formulas requires more than just a pledge. It calls for ongoing, daily responsibility. And it's in VRP's Central Laboratory & Quality Control Department that this obligation ultimately comes to rest.

 

The acquisition of state-of-the-art, high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipment, in conjunction with a unique, landmark alliance with the Biochemistry Department, University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) has allowed Vitamin Research Products to further its industry-leading commitment to excellence and unsurpassed quality control.

 

"VRP has bolstered its reputation as an industry leader in quality control with the purchase of this HPLC," says Yu Shao, Ph.D., Director of VRP's Central Laboratory & Quality Control Department. "Our alliance with the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Nevada, Reno, gives us a fantastic resource that is of great value to our customers."

 

"Chromatography, one of the most useful methods of assuring quality, is used to separate active ingredients from impurities, and to quantify active ingredients present in the formula", says Dr. Shao. "VRP's HPLC is a highly sophisticated piece of equipment that adds a whole new dimension to QC", explains Shao. "It is far more accurate than other forms of chromatography and it is much faster, too."

 

"VRP customers will certainly benefit from this array of QC-monitoring equipment. We can subject every formula and every raw ingredient to the scrutiny of gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography, liquid chromatography, of course, and a wide variety of ultraviolet and visible spectrometer assays."

 

"The alliance with UNR is a mutually beneficial one for both companies", says VRP president, Robert Watson. "To be chosen by the University of Nevada to share in the resources of their biochemistry department is a wonderful honor," says Watson. "Our acquisition of this high pressure liquid chromatography system will help VRP in our pursuit of quality and excellence, and assure our customers that they are purchasing the purest and highest quality supplements, as well as provide great assistance to the university in their training of future scientists."

 

"Our Quality Assurance Team is constantly engaged in guaranteeing adherence to our rigorous manufacturing standards based on Good Manufacturing Practices," continues Watson. "The quality assurance check points are built into the entire process, including issuance of raw materials, blending and mixing for uniform dispersion, encapsulation for accurate fill weight, and ensuring the proper capsule count in each bottle. All these check points guarantee that what's indicated on the label, matches the content of the bottle."
