We have a cooperative arrangement with Weber State University in Ogden, Utah through which, among other things, the university provides Nutraceutical with access to certain laboratory space and equipment. The university has assigned one faculty member as a project director to coordinate the use of any projects undertaken at the university facility. Nutraceutical also conducts research and development in company-owned facilities. Nutraceutical currently employs various professionals in research and development and quality control with degrees in, among other things, chemistry, microbiology and engineering and, in many cases, these professionals have also received training in natural health food products. In addition, Nutraceutical retains the services of outside laboratories from time to time to validate its product standards and manufacturing protocols.

Nutraceutical's quality control program seeks to ensure the superior quality of Nutraceutical's products and that they are manufactured in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). Nutraceutical's processing methods are monitored closely to ensure that only quality ingredients are used and to ensure product purity. Nutraceutical retains the services of an outside GMP auditor firm to assist in its efforts to comply with GMPs.
