In addition to the stem-cell activation testing, each batch undergoes over 30 tests by independent laboratories including moisture, microbiology (yeast and mold) and heavy metal to ensure safety and stability as well nutritional biochemistry for protein, fat, mineral (calcium) and other critical tests guaranteeing each batch meets and exceeds the required specification.

Cyplexinol® is packaged in micro-batch, vacuum-sealed foil pouches as it awaits encapsulation. When needed, each batch is shipped with a Certificate of Analysis to our FDA audited encapsulation company, where it is retested upon arrival, encapsulated and retested again. Once product is bottled and shipped to ZyCal, it is received, quarantined and yes, retested again to ensure no possible contamination during shipping. At ZyCal ensuring the highest quality products in production and testing is key to who we are.

When conducting microbiology testing, there are known pathogenetic bacteria such as E.coli that a zero-level is the only acceptable level. This standard is universally accepted by all nutritional supplement and food companies. Then there are non-pathogenic bacteria which is not harmful at low to moderate levels that all food and supplement companies accept. The level of bacteria is counted as cfu (colony forming units) and most supplements accept a level of 10,000 cfu, while raw meat sold in the supermarket can 30,000 cfu or higher, with the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) setting the acceptable levels as high as 100,000 cfu.

At ZyCal Bioceuticals Manufacturing Co, we set the acceptable level in Cyplexinol® ingredient at 1,000 cfu - 10X less than most supplement companies and our yeast and mold levels set at 100 cfu or less – again 10X less than industry levels of 1,000 cfu. At ZyCal Bioceuticals, purity, efficacy and excellence are at the hallmark of what we produce.

At ZyCal Bioceuticals Manufacturing Company, LLC., the testing for manufacturing Cyplexinol® is so rigorous that we even test the quality of water coming into our facility, ensuring the pH of the water meets and exceeds Environmental Protection Agency guidelines as well as test form coliforms by a certified independent laboratory.

Next we test and confirm, by a certified independent laboratory, the air quality in every one of our manufacturing process rooms.

ZyCal Bioceuticals Manufacturing Company implements such stringent tracking in the manufacturing of Cyplexinol® that we are able to trace the Cyplexinol® in every bottle of Ostinol® back to the batch of 100% natural, grass-fed, hormone-free batch of bones delivered.

Each month ZyCal Manufacturing conducts a Senior Management meeting on the Quality Management System ensuring meticulous attention to every detail.

Throughout the year, scheduled, planned, and executed Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) audits occur to ensure we deliver on the Quality promise which has a profound impact on increasing the trust we have built with all stakeholders while continuously improving our processes and products.
