Food and Drug Licence

Over the last several years the United States Food and Drug Administration designed and put into law a new section of Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations specifically for Dietary Supplements.

These new regulations are far above the food cGMPs exclusively followed by most supplement manufacturers and distributors in the States.  They are closely designed after the pharmaceutical cGMPs with very little diference and the expectations are extremely high for similiar compliance.  Inspections cover everything from beginning to end of the manufacturing process.

VIVA Life Science has been in the practice of following both the Good Processing cGMPs and the Pharmaceutical cGMP principles, which virtually covers everything the Dietary Supplement cGMPs require.

The company has been issued both the Food Processing Registration and the Drug Manufacturing Licence for more than 20 years as evidence of successful compliance with their respective cGMPs and long-term commitment to deliver the finest nutraceutical products available in the market.

THIRD PARTY REVIEWS

VIVA currently has numerous research papers being recognized and published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals. Many reputable scientists and professionals are involved in reviewing the science and studies submitted to every journal. Only those studies that meet the high criteria for scientific reliability and value are acknowledged and accepted for publication. Numerous other health supplements manufacturers failed to reach the distinguished requirements of the medical field.

VIVA’s Products have met the highest standard in the nutraceutical world…
