Synergy Production Laboratories™ (SPL) is located in the pristine high desert near Moab, Utah. Our dry climate and pure air offer ideal conditions for producing, storing and transporting dietary supplements. Conveniently located near Interstate 70, SPL has access to national carriers as well as UPS and Federal Express.

SPL is committed to quality. We adhere to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA’s) good manufacturing practices (GMPs) for manufacturers of dietary supplements. In addition, we are certified to manufacture certified organic and certified kosher products. SPL is registered with the FDA as an over-the-counter (OTC) manufacturing facility. We are also members of the American Herbal Products Alliance (AHPA), the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) and the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

The SPL facility was custom designed and is state-of-the-art. It is equipped with a sophisticated air purification system that removes dust, mold, pathogens and other potential contaminants. Our pharmaceutical-grade water filtration and purification system treats all water used in the facility. Climate controls are used throughout the facility to keep temperatures at optimal levels. Refrigerated and freezer storage space is available for temperature-sensitive raw materials.

Only biodegradable detergents and cleansers accepted by our organic certifier are used in our cleaning and sanitation systems and throughout the facility. We also recycle our waste materials.

SPL offers custom manufacturing services to its select raw materials customers who require certified organic and kosher manufacturing. We ensure the purity and efficacy of your finished product with our carefully designed and monitored manufacturing processes and procedures.

A variety of automatic blenders are available to accommodate customer needs. Blender capacities range from one quart to 40 cubic feet. Using sophisticated controls and exchangeable intensifier bars enables us to provide the right blending process for your product. Wet granulations for different applications, like tableting, can be achieved in one step. As a part of our quality assurance program, we use an automatic sieve to screen all raw materials before blending to assure consistent material properties.

Cold-Milling To mill ingredients and to create uniform base products for further processing, SPL uses a mill with a cooling jacket. Refrigerated water circulates through the jacket, cooling the milling process to keep ingredients at low temperatures. (Cold-milling is crucial to preserve the properties of herbs and other heat-sensitive ingredients.) Variable spindle speeds and feed rates, as well as interchangeable blades and screens, allow for maximum control of the process. After the product is milled to specifications, it is immediately sealed in closed containers for further processing.

Computer-Controlled Powder-Filling SPL offers superior powder-filling services. Using a computer-controlled auger filler with an integrated weigh station allows us to accurately dispense powders or granular materials. Our bottle lift allows us to fill bottles with fluffy materials by compacting the materials during the filling process. Mechanical- and vacuum-operated conveyors for powders reduce raw material waste and ensure appropriate and gentle handling of your materials.

SPL provides encapsulation in two-piece hard-shell capsules ranging in size from 5 to 000. We offer vegetarian, gelatin and SLT-free gelatin capsules. Our encapsulation processes, combined with our expertise regarding difficult materials, allow us to offer excipient- and additive-free encapsulation for most materials. Our machines are designed for short setup times and for encapsulation of materials that are traditionally difficult to encapsulate. SPL’s well-trained and dedicated encapsulation specialists have a solution for your specific encapsulation requirements. Strict quality control measures before, during and after the processing ensure the integrity and consistency of your product. The encapsulated product is weighed, polished, inspected and sealed into containers before being transferred to other processing steps.

Excipient- and additive-free tableting is one of the specialties we offer to our customers. Tablets and chewables up to a diameter of 1 3/8 inches (35 mm) can be produced on our automated machines. We have many all-natural and conventional coatings available. Our drying procedures are designed to maintain the quality and integrity of your product. Quality control measures specifically designed for our Pure Manufacturing™ process accompany each step of the creation of your tablets. The finished tablets are sealed into containers to protect them from environmental exposure during storage and transfer within the facility.

SPL offers a variety of bottling and packaging options. Containers with screw- or snap-type closures can be used. We can accommodate projects of all sizes with numerous packaging options. Our equipment handles all bottle materials, from various kinds of plastic to glass, including UV-coated amber glass, which best protects your product from oxygen, moisture and light.

Induction-Sealing Immediately after we fill containers, they receive closures with internal seals. Induction-sealing offers the most effective tamperproof packaging available, and it hermetically seals the bottle, providing a barrier against oxygen. Our Ultra Fresh Packaging™ system, nitrogen purging, oxygen absorbers and desiccants can be used to further protect your product's purity and freshness and to extend its shelf life.

SPL uses pressure-sensitive labels in conjunction with an automatic, hot-stamp data printer for printing customer data, lot numbers and expiration dates.

SPL’s manufacturing processes and procedures are carefully monitored and documented. Computerized batch records and independent, third-party laboratory tests give you the assurance that you will receive only the highest-quality product. Our third-party certifiers inspect the SPL facility regularly.
