Quality and Verification
Introduction
Quality in supplementation cannot be assumed.
It is not a promise and not a marketing claim.
Quality must be designed, checked, and repeated.
Every single time.
This article explains how quality is safeguarded, why testing must be structural, and why verification matters more than statements.
Where quality begins
Quality does not start at production.
It starts before.
Each raw ingredient is selected based on predefined criteria, including:
-
Identity
-
Purity
-
Stability
-
Suitability for daily, long-term use
Only ingredients that fully meet specification are approved.
From raw material to production
Approved ingredients are delivered to a production facility operating under ISO 22000 guidelines.
Packaging materials are also required to meet food safety standards.
All processes are:
-
Controlled
-
Documented
-
Traceable
This ensures consistency and repeatability across batches.
Independent batch testing
After production, each batch is tested by independent laboratories.
Testing includes screening for:
-
Microbiological contamination
-
Heavy metals
-
Undesired residues
Only batches that meet all specifications are released.
Athlete safety verification
Each batch is subsequently tested under the NZVT program.
Testing is performed by:
-
Wageningen Food Safety Research
-
LGC
This confirms the absence of prohibited substances and suitability for tested athletes.
Fulfilment and storage control
Approved batches are delivered to a fulfilment centre operating under HACCP standards.
Procedures include:
-
Incoming goods inspection
-
Controlled storage conditions
-
Monitoring to prevent excessive heat or cold
Once a product leaves the fulfilment centre, it does not return to circulation.
This maintains full control over quality and traceability.
Why verification matters
Statements are easy to make.
Verification requires systems, documentation, and discipline.
Quality is not a claim.
It is the outcome of a repeatable process.

Conclusion
Quality does not happen by chance.
It is the result of deliberate, repeatable choices.
From raw material selection to batch testing and controlled storage.
Every step matters.
That is what quality and verification mean at Apexx.
