Raw Material Quality ControlThe raw material cultivation processes are certified organic by QAI as in accordance with:
•the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and 7 CRF Part 205
•the QAI EU Program and EU Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2092/91).
This aspect is important when:•in some countries mushroom cultivation is not advanced; thereby raw material may have either heavy metal or E. Coli contamination.
•some producers have mislabelled Cordyceps militarium as Cordyceps sinensis.

Finished Product Quality Control Granulated mushroom powder arrives in Holland or
Italy with Certificate of Analysis supplied by raw material manufacturer.
HACCP (Food Grade) EU Manufacturers review Certificate of Analysis.• Prior to 500 mg tablet manufacturing
• Cytogenex Ltd using PCR DNA testing techniques verifies mushroom strain
• Cytogenex Ltd conducts TVAC testing of powder
• Upon completion of tablet manufacturing• Cytogenex Ltd. conducts TVAC testing of
tablets.
