Manufacturer Qualification

Under GWI’s supervision, manufacturer qualifications take place by evaluating documents such

as GMP/ISO/HACCP, quality questionnaires, and certificates of analysis. In addition, we carefully

audit warehouse capacity, equipment, and technique/storage facilities. All QC procedures are

meticulously and regularly carried out for both new and existing manufacturers.

In-House Lab testing

Analytical testing of GWI products is performed at the lab in Shanghai, China. We are currently

testing mesh size, bulk density, and microbial testing in house as an initial step. In addition, we

are working with a 3rd party lab in Shanghai to test the heavy metal, and beginning in 2014,

we will commence with ID testing. Eventually, GWI will have full control over the quality of products by

testing a majority of the items listed on the COA.

Pre-Shipment Check

Located in Shanghai, the 100,000 SQ FT warehouse has the capability of making inspections prior

to the overseas shipment. This pre-shipment inspection will guarantee that all customers receive

quality product in a timely manner. Additionally, all products GWI receives in the US are given a

second inspection of all quality control requirements prior to shipping to the final destination.

3rd Party Lab testing Program

In addition to testing product at the in-house lab, we also send them to a third party lab to

verify quality. For new products and new manufacturer origins, GWI will have the lab report

before the product is released to the market. For regular products, GWI also has a testing

program for quarterly or half-yearly reviews.

Manufacturer Origin trace System

Together, with the execution of cGMP, we believe that consistent quality is as important

as maintaining exceptional quality. Part of our quality control program includes keeping

records of all approved manufacturer origins for our customers. We put notes for the

preferred origins per our customers’ request or we keep records of the sample origin that

is approved by the customer. We implement this process to help our customers with their

compliance in cGMP.

Customized Shipping

Your customized shipping is never compromised. Even with over 12,000 annual

shipments, we take all detailed requests from every customer. We carefully record

all shipping instructions stated on each purchase order such as documentations, lot

number, shelf life, and special labels, and then we make sure each request is procured. Every

GWI customer can rest assured knowing that they will receive exactly what they order…every

order, every time!

GWI Quality Control Practice

Quality control at GWI is our foremost priority and we’ve invested considerable human resources and capital

to ensure it. Located in the Newport area of Shanghai, the quality control unit is a 100,000 sq. ft. building

combined with warehouse, office, and a state-of-the-art lab. Every employee in Shanghai holds at least a

bachelor’s degree, and over half have earned a master’s degree in chemical or food science. With our professional

associates, we are able to audit all manufacturers and conduct superior product quality controls on site.

Grape Seed P.E.

GWI sources premium grape seed starting material

from France that delivers the industry's finest results.

Grape seed is an extract that has a high content of

compounds known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins

(OPCs). The OPCs are chemically known as flavonoids or

polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties and are

present in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables.

SOLUBILITY: Soluble in water.

BENEFIT: Grape seed extract may help with high

cholesterol and poor blood circulation. It has properties

such as anti-inflammatory, antiallergenic, and antioxidant.

It strengthens blood vessels and reduces wrinkles and skin

damage.

betaine

Betaine is a source of nourishment and health for the

cardiovascular system. As a nutrient, it works with

vitamins and minerals to fight harmful toxins in the

bloodstream. It also contains low acidity levels, which

do not deter nutritional gradients. Some studies have

shown Betaine’s effectiveness in reducing levels of

homocysteine, a naturally occurring amino acid that

could lead to the development of heart disease.

SPEC AVAILABLE: Betaine Anhydrous, Betaine HCl

Creatine Monohydrate

We are the #1 distributor of Creatine Monohydrate in the US!

Creatine Monohydrate is a dietary supplement that athletes

and bodybuilders use to increase high intensity exercise

performance, increase strength, build fuller looking muscles,

increase body mass, and gain faster post workout muscle

recovery.

Choline bitartrate

Choline Bitartrate is a common supplement of choline. Natu-

rally produced in the body, albeit at low quantities, consumers

should strive to attain more through diet or supplementation.

Good sources of choline are liver, muscle meats, beans, peas,

eggs, and more.

Calcium Citrate

Calcium is a mineral found naturally in foods that assists with

bone formation and maintenance. Calcium Citrate is known

to be the best-absorbed supplemental form of calcium. Since

it does not require extra stomach acid for absorption, consum-

ers can ingest on an empty stomach. It is commonly used as a

food additive, preservative, and a calcium dietary supplement.

Sucralose

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener made from sugar, so it tastes

like sugar and has no unpleasant aftertaste. It is about 600

times sweeter than sugar and can be used in place of sugar to

eliminate or reduce calories in a wide variety of products.

benfotiamine

Benfotiamine is a synthetic derivative of

Vitamin B1, which helps to prevent nerve and

blood vessel damage caused by diabetes. Two

of the main impacts of diabetes are circulatory

difficulties and vision problems, which are

caused by a build-up of sugar in the tissues.

Benfotiamine also appears to have beneficial

anti-aging qualities, protecting human cells

from harmful metabolic end products. Today,

it is commonly used in the treatment of

individuals with diabetes.
