“Our business philosophy is to use only the best raw materials to produce the highest quality tablet, capsule, and powder supplements possible at competitive prices, and deliver them where and when they are needed”, said Jay Kaufman, Paragon Laboratories President. “We take pride in helping our customers anticipate their future supply needs, and in providing top-quality products and excellent customer service.”

“NPA is the only association that offers its members access to two of the FDA’s top former officials in dietary supplement GMP compliance. NPA is the leader in providing GMP certification and education for the dietary supplement industry since 1999, establishing the industry’s first third-party GMP certification program. Paragon’s GMP certification extends back to its initial certification in 2001. NPA’s GMP program ensures that all elements of the manufacturing process are reviewed to verify GMP compliance and provide a level of assurance that the products manufactured by Paragon Laboratories meet their established specifications for quality, including identity, purity, strength and composition,” said Corey J. Hilmas, M.D./Ph.D., senior vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs for NPA.

NPA also offers webinars featuring a wide array of topics, as well as educational seminars throughout the year that have been designed specifically for supplement manufacturers. These Courses offer a comprehensive review on how to comply with the FDA’s evolving expectations for dietary supplement GMPs and provide a regulatory insider’s perspective on all issues pertaining to a GMP inspection. More than 1,000 people from over 600 companies have participated in an NPA GMP education session.

Paragon Laboratories has received an “A” compliance rating following a recent third-party GMP audit, which re-qualifies the company for GMP certification and use of the NPA GMP logo. This company will continue to be listed on NPA’s list of GMP-certified companies at NPAinfo.org/GMPCertified.
