Our Products
Vitamins and minerals are catalysts to help our body function more effectively in all circumstances and we wanted to supply the highest quality supplements to allow the body to work at it's best.
The NFC Essentials range is a 'food state' supplement - meaning that what is inside the capsules is closer to a food than a processed chemical. Food State is a manufacturing process that binds real food with vitamins and minerals. These are more easily recognised by the body and because they are more easily absorbed you receive the maximum benefit. Food State Supplements are - quite literally - the next best thing to food. If you look at the ingredients list on the bottles, the quantities are generally less than on the average, more processed, supplements because your body is able to absorb more from each capsule.
Our NFC nutritionist, Dr Jane Jamieson (PhD) helped to develop the 'nfc Essentials' supplements and we based the formulae on her expertise plus our knowledge of what our patients needed.
NFC Essentials supplements contain the most comprehensive mix of minerals, antioxidants and vitamins available. Currently our range includes a high quality formula for women, for men and for during pregnancy as well as an Antioxidant + Co Q10 and a fish oil/Omega 3, derived from deep sea fish and therefore lower in toxins.
Our supplements are made for us, in the UK, by Oriental and Western Ltd. OWL are the result of over 30 years of research, development and formulations of the highest quality vitamins, minerals and herbs for use by health conscious consumers around the world.
Our products are compliant with current legal requirements of the MHRA - Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Precise manufacturing controls are maintained throughout the production process. Environmental, in-process and finished product samples are collected and analyzed to assure that each batch of product is of the highest quality.
We produce our products using modified OTC drug manufacturing standards. Grow Company, Inc. has cGMP and GLP protocols in place for the manufacturing of its nutrients. Even though regulations do not require many of these steps, we believe that by following these strict guidelines, we are ensured that our finished product is of superior quality. At our plants, two independent outside contractors are responsible for monitoring water quality; and pest control on a monthly and biweekly basis, respectively.
RAW MATERIALS AND PREPARATION
Prior to the start of the production process, the nutrition media must be diluted, clarified, and pH adjusted. This process provides a consistent feed material important for yeast growth, that is also free from unwanted microbial contamination or foreign material. Non-genetically modified dry active yeast and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, carbohydrates, mineral salts, vitamins, and other raw materials are purchased from vendors who meet the strict specifications established for these various materials.
To ensure that we begin with the best ingredients, each batch of raw material undergoes rigorous scientific testing by our quality control experts. To guarantee that purity, safety and potency standards for our raw materials, intermediates and finished products are met, each of these materials are subject to sampling, and then quarantined until approval. Once the testing is completed and approved, a Certificate of Analysis is issued for each individual batch. All manufacturing is based on a lot numbering system, and every batch has its designated lot number for traceability.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Grow Company, Inc's facility is routinely inspected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration plus local, state and federal authorities to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
