Commitment to Quality

During the past 50 years, we have been committed to providing products of the highest quality. We have carefully chosen exceptional manufacturing partners to create our products. Starting materials are tested and species verified, then processed according to strict manufacturing specifications. Extensive laboratory testing throughout the process confirms quality standards are met, and results are routinely verified by laboratory testing conducted in the US. The quality, processing and testing standards of our products are based on requirements outlined in the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China to ensure that our products are medicine grade. Our commitment to quality in every aspect has resulted in safe, high quality products you and your patients have trusted since 1969.

Product Excipients

We are committed to using as few food additives in the preparation of our Plum Flower® products as possible. Nevertheless, we are sometimes compelled to use excipients in certain products to ensure their quality and effectiveness. Excipients do not directly impact the metabolism of herbal compounds, but help to improve bioavailability and solubility, aid in forming pills, tablets or powders, and can stabilize and protect active substances.

Raw Material Selection

Page from Pharmacopoeia of Chinese MedicineOur commitment to quality starts from the very beginning. First, we begin with the correct species and the correct herb part. All herbs, whether Plum Flower® Premier Quality™ Chinese Herbs or constituents in our Plum Flower® products, are the officially validated species as listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia or other government accepted Materia Medicas. This dedication to accuracy in our raw material selection helps ensure efficacy, and more importantly, safety, as substituted herbs may cause harmful side effects. Herbs are sourced from their indigenous regions, ensuring authenticity and quality. Upon receipt, herbs are inspected to ensure correct species identification, proper maturity, and quality before they can be used in our products.

Capsule Manufacturing

Generally, capsule products are made by compacting powders or granules into gelatin or vegetarian capsules. A fine selection of Chinese herbal supplements is available in the Plum Flower® Capsule line. All capsules used are vegetarian and the ingredients are natural yield extract powder or a combination of natural yield and standardized extracts.

Infusion Manufacturing

Infusions are herbal extracts of single herbs or formulas manufactured similarly to extract powders, but made into a granule rather than powder. Infusions contain sugar, in amounts ranging from 7–40% depending upon the formula.
