With
its continuously ongoing R&D programme, rigid quality
control measures, and adherence to an ethical
manufacturing code, PENTAVOX is committed to produce
better batches than the previous ones, everytime, as our
propensity is more qualitative than quantitative.
At
PENTAVOX, the raw ingredients are standardised by in-house
Research, Development, Analytical and Quality Control labs
for all kinds of Ayurvedic/Herbal formulations. Various
physical, chemical and biological tests are conducted for
the botanical and biochemical identification of the raw
ingredients to ascertain their quality and detect
adulterations. Uniform availability of the raw material
all the year round is ensured by the permanent team of
technocrats and the duly identified & quality
certified raw material is stored in optimum quantity after
sorting, cleaning, drying, fumigating and sterilising.
There are Master formula records relating to all
procedures of the manufacturing of each product which has
been prepared and endorsed by the competent technical
staff i.e. Heads of Product Development, Production,
Quality Control and Specialist Ayurvedic Consultants.
A
preliminary raw material protocol includes:
-
Optimum
collection time according to maturity specifications
of herbs;
-
Correct
botanical identification (order, genus, species,
variant);
-
Quality,
purity and efficacy of the drug alongwith specific
storage conditions;
-
Chemical
composition & determination of the active
principle;
-
Identification
and quantification of adulterants & substitutes;
The
standardisation procedure includes:
-
Morphological
studies i.e., gross morphology (entire product, cyto-morphology
(cell), and particle level studies.
-
Organoleptic
Evalution i.e., evaluating odour, taste, colour and
texture of the product.
-
Preliminary
identification tests include, in-house standardised
cytomorphological, microscopial examinations;
sub-microscopic structural evaluations through
refractive indicies & optical rotation; physical
parameters of solubility; dye tests; determination of
active principles, ash, moisture, essential oil
contents etc.
-
Advanced
identification tests begin with Chromatographic
Techniques to separate complex mixtures for isolation
of the active constituent.
-
"MULTI-POINT"
and "MULTI-STAGE" controls to check the
prescribed limits on the extraneous impurities (heavy
metals, pesticidal residues, foreign matter, animal
excreta, abnormal colour, odour, mould, sliminess,
evidences of deterioration, etc.).
The
PENTAVOX qualitative propensity is the collective
accentuation of:

Professional
ethics, safety profile, synergy of formulations and
efficacy of the products

general & specific controls

The
team leader, Dr. Pradeep Nagrath’s dream of building of
a disease free society lays a strong foundation of
PENTAVOX where an extra stress is laid on the
result-orientation programme.
The PENTAVOX products are the ultimate result of extensive
researches & rediscoveries from a rich collection of
the ancient & modern ayurvedic texts in the Pentavox
Library and its comprehensive team’s collective effort.
At PENTAVOX we are the staunch followers of the basic
motive of Ayurveda, Vyadhyup Srishtanaam Vyadhi
Parimokshah, Swasthasya swaasthrakshnam cha i.e to
treat & cure the ailing and maintain the health of
healthy human beings.
In
a nutshell, at PENTAVOX we do not think small, we think
minutely.
