That sounds like an excellent arrangement for an already solid company. If you ever happen to come by any farms that have amla or indian gooseberry available we would love to find a clean pure source, and the benefits would suggest a fitting addition to the top notch nd inventory. Cant wait for our tongkat to arrive! Great job ND! Cheers!

We are using this partner for a lot of our new extracts, actually. My goal is to eventually have all our products being custom made for us to exactly our specs. It's just a better arrangement all around for us, since we have very specific specifications. We also know exactly what we want, and sometimes that specific extract just doesn't exist anywhere else. It also allows us to not have to reject so many batches, as they are being made specifically for us, and the manufacturer knows exactly what we are testing for and what methods/reference standards we are using to verify that. We even send them standards and methods we use, so they can mirror them in the QC process during production. So we are much more intimately involved in all the steps of the process. We have not had to reject anything from this supplier yet, and everything has been exactly spot on to the specs we have set. So that is a breath of fresh air in this industry!
This partner of ours also is very advanced in extractions. So even if they don't grow the plants themselves, they can get the raw plants in from other farms and do the extractions for us. We have had them do that a few times on some new products we are developing. We absolutely could have them find a farm for something like Indian gooseberry/amla, then do the extraction to our specifications. I'll research a bit. It seems we could standardize to ellagitannins (emblicanin-A, emblicanin-B, punigluconin , and pedunculagin). I'll see what they think is possible.
