Our Science
We don't sell hope in a capsule. We sell evidence in a capsule.
Every NutriPeak and HY5 product is built on a single principle: if the dose isn't clinically meaningful, the ingredient doesn't belong in the formula. We don't pad our labels with 17 ingredients at trace amounts. We use fewer ingredients at the doses that research actually supports — and we publish the proof.
This page explains exactly how we formulate, manufacture, test, and verify every product we sell. No marketing spin. Just the process.
Four commitments that shape every product we ship.
01 — Clinical-Strength Dosing
Every serving in a NutriPeak product delivers the dose used in published clinical research — not a fraction of it. When a study shows that 500 mg of curcuminoids at 95% standardisation modulates NF-kB signalling, that is exactly what you get in one capsule. Not 100 mg. Not 250 mg. Not "a proprietary blend of turmeric complex."
The supplement industry has a term for formulas that include trace amounts of premium ingredients just to list them on the label: pixie-dusting. We consider it dishonest. If an ingredient cannot be dosed at clinically meaningful levels within a reasonable serving size and cost structure, we leave it out entirely.
What this means for you: Every capsule delivers the full dose shown to work in peer-reviewed research. You are not paying for label decoration.
02 — Standardised Extracts
Raw herbs and whole-food powders are nutritionally valuable — but they are not precise. The curcumin content in raw turmeric varies from 2% to 5% depending on the harvest, soil, and processing. That means a "500 mg turmeric" capsule could contain anywhere from 10 mg to 25 mg of actual curcumin. That is not a supplement. That is a guessing game.
We use standardised extracts verified by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) to guarantee the exact percentage of the active compound in every batch:
- Curcumin: 95% curcuminoids (not 60%, not 80%)
- Piperine: 95% extract (not raw black pepper at 5-9%)
- Milk Thistle: 80% silymarin (not unstandardised herb powder)
- Creatine: 200 mesh micronised monohydrate (not bulk-grade 80 mesh)
- Vitamin D3: Vegan cholecalciferol from lichen (not animal-derived lanolin)
- Vitamin K2: MK7 form (not MK4 which has a much shorter half-life)
What this means for you: The potency printed on our label is the potency inside the capsule. Verified by instrument, not assumed by ingredient name.
03 — Third-Party Lab Testing
We do not rely on our manufacturer's in-house certificates alone. Every batch of every NutriPeak and HY5 product undergoes independent third-party laboratory testing before it is released for sale. The tests cover four categories:
- Potency / Assay — HPLC or UV-Vis confirmation that the active ingredient meets label claim (e.g., curcuminoids at 95%)
- Heavy Metals — Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As) — all below FSSAI/WHO permissible limits
- Microbial Safety — Total Plate Count (TPC), Yeast and Mould, E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus
- Pesticide Residue — 252 pesticide compounds screened per batch (for botanical-sourced ingredients)
We publish batch-specific lab reports directly on each product page. You can download the Certificate of Analysis (CoA), heavy metals report, microbial analysis, and HPLC assay for the exact batch you receive. Not a generic "sample report." The actual report for your batch.
What this means for you: Every claim we make about purity, potency, and safety is backed by a downloadable, batch-specific lab report. Transparency is not a marketing word for us. It is a PDF you can verify.
04 — WHO-GMP Manufacturing
One of Our manufacturing partners — Mint Nutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd., Panchkula, Haryana — operates a facility certified to the same standards required for prescription pharmaceutical production:
- WHO-GMP Certified — World Health Organisation Good Manufacturing Practice
- USFDA Registered — United States Food and Drug Administration facility registration
- HACCP Certified — Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (food safety management)
- FSSAI Licensed — Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (Lic. 10822999000685)
- ISO 22000 — International food safety management system
The facility follows pharmaceutical-grade SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for raw material quarantine, in-process quality checks, environmental monitoring, and finished-product release protocols.
What this means for you: Your supplement is made in the same quality environment as medicines — not in a food-grade blending unit with minimal oversight.
From raw material to your doorstep — every step, verified.
Step 01 — Ingredient Sourcing
We source raw materials from verified Indian and international suppliers with full traceability. Curcumin from Curcuma longa rhizomes grown in Erode and Sangli. Piperine from Kerala black peppercorns. Fish oil from sustainable salmon sources. Every raw material arrives with a supplier Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and is quarantined until our QC team verifies it independently.
Step 02 — Formulation and Pre-Production
Our formulation team designs each product around peer-reviewed clinical evidence. We identify the target dose, the optimal extract form, and any bioavailability enhancers needed (like piperine for curcumin). The formula is documented in a master batch record that locks in the exact ingredient ratios, excipient quantities, and capsule fill weights.
Step 03 — Manufacturing
Production takes place at our WHO-GMP partner facility under controlled environmental conditions. HPMC vegetarian capsules are filled using automated encapsulation machines with real-time weight verification. In-process quality checks happen at defined intervals throughout every production run.
Step 04 — Quality Control and Lab Testing
Finished product samples are pulled from every batch and sent to independent third-party laboratories for potency assay, heavy metals screening, microbial analysis, and (where applicable) pesticide residue testing. No batch is released for sale until all test results fall within our specifications — which are often stricter than FSSAI minimum requirements.
Step 05 — Packaging and Labelling
Products are packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, induction-sealed caps, and silica gel desiccants to protect against moisture. Every label includes the batch number, manufacturing date, best-before date, FSSAI licence numbers (marketing and manufacturing), full ingredient list with doses, allergen declarations, and storage instructions.
Step 06 — Storage and Fulfilment
Finished inventory is stored in temperature-controlled warehousing. Orders are processed same-day (before 2 PM) and dispatched via our logistics partners. Subscribers receive priority processing.
The decision tree behind every ingredient.
Before any ingredient enters a NutriPeak formula, it must pass five gates:
Gate 1 — Is there clinical evidence?
We require at least one well-designed human clinical trial (RCT or equivalent) published in a peer-reviewed journal demonstrating efficacy at a specific dose. Animal studies and in-vitro data are considered supporting evidence, not sufficient on their own.
Gate 2 — Can we dose it clinically?
If the effective dose from research is 500 mg but we can only fit 100 mg into our formula without exceeding capsule capacity or cost constraints, we do not include it at a sub-clinical dose. We either find a way to deliver the full dose or we leave the ingredient out.
Gate 3 — Is a standardised extract available?
We strongly prefer standardised extracts with verified active compound percentages over raw herb powders. Standardisation gives us (and you) confidence that the potency is consistent batch to batch.
Gate 4 — Can we verify it independently?
If an ingredient cannot be assayed by a third-party lab using standard analytical methods (HPLC, UV-Vis, titration), we question whether its inclusion can be honestly verified. We avoid ingredients that rely on trust rather than testing.
Gate 5 — Does it add real value to this specific formula?
We do not add ingredients for label appeal. Every ingredient in a NutriPeak product has a specific, documented reason for its inclusion — and that reason is explained on the product page.
