As a technology-driven enterprise in China’s traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) sector, OkayHerb upholds the core philosophy of “inheriting the essence while innovating with integrity.” We specialize in the R&D, production, and quality control of TCM formula granules and classic prescription preparations. Guided by the principle of “full-chain controllability, full-process traceability, and full-compliance with standards,” we have established a comprehensive quality and safety system spanning from raw material sourcing to finished product release—delivering safe, effective, and consistent TCM products to global markets.
Quality Strategy: Setting Industry Benchmarks with High Standards From day one, OkayHerb has prioritized “quality-first” as our core strategy, recognizing quality and safety as our ultimate competitive advantage. We strictly comply with national regulations, including the Drug Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Technical Requirements for Quality Control and Standard Setting of TCM Formula Granules. By benchmarking against international standards such as EU GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and USP (United States Pharmacopeia), and integrating the unique characteristics of TCM, we have developed an internal quality control system that exceeds industry averages.
Full-Chain Quality Control: Safeguarding Every Step from “Field to Clinic” TCM quality and safety depend on multiple critical stages—cultivation, processing, manufacturing, and inspection. Any lapse in these processes can compromise the final product. OkayHerb has built a rigorous, four-dimensional quality management network to ensure end-to-end control:
1. Sourcing: Authenticity & Traceability—Controlling the “First Workshop” High-quality herbs form the foundation of effective medicine. OkayHerb adheres to a “geo-authentic herbs” strategy, partnering with cooperatives and farmers through a “company + cooperative + grower” model. Our cultivation bases in key regions—such as Minxian (Angelica sinensis), Bozhou (Chrysanthemum morifolium), and Mianyang (Ligusticum chuanxiong)—strictly follow the Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) for Chinese Crude Drugs. From seed selection and pesticide-free cultivation to harvest timing and initial processing, every step is digitally traced using blockchain technology to record origin, harvest dates, and testing data—guaranteeing “traceable identity and controllable sourcing” for every batch.
2. Manufacturing: Smart Production & Proprietary Technology Our GMP-compliant production facilities feature intelligent extraction, concentration, drying, and formulation lines (e.g., dynamic water-extraction technology, low-temperature concentration equipment, fully automated packaging). Key parameters—temperature, pressure, time—are precisely controlled and recorded in real time. By mastering core technologies such as “stabilizing active ingredient content” and “heavy metal & pesticide residue control,” we ensure batch-to-batch consistency and stability. Today, our production techniques and equipment rank among the best in China’s TCM industry.
3. Quality Inspection: Multi-Layered Testing—Guarding the “Final Line of Defense” - Incoming raw material inspection: Each batch undergoes morphological identification (microscopy, thin-layer chromatography), active ingredient quantification (e.g., astragaloside IV, ginsenosides), pesticide residue testing (33 banned chemicals), and heavy metal detection (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury).
- In-process monitoring: Key indicators (e.g., active ingredient transfer rate, pH) are tracked in real time for extracts and intermediates.
- Finished product release: Beyond Chinese Pharmacopoeia standards, we enforce internal controls (e.g., microbial limits, aflatoxin testing) to ensure 100% compliance before release.
Quality as the Lifeline of TCM.Quality is the cornerstone of TCM’s efficacy and the foundation of our business. As an innovator and guardian of TCM, OkayHerb is committed to delivering trustworthy products through rigorous standards, cutting-edge technology, and data-driven transparency—advancing the global legacy of traditional Chinese medicine.
