Authenticated Source Herbal Materials

All of Sun Ten’s source herbal materials are obtained from private growers and suppliers that meet the specifications established by Sun Ten. Sun Ten secures the resources by maintaining long term relationships with each of the supplying parties and routinely purchasing crops that pass criteria specifications. Purchasing materials directly from the public market can result in problematic source materials with issues such as non-authentic herbal medicinals, herbal medicinals that are not safe due to contamination, toxicity or lacing, and those with inferior constituent ratios. Sun Ten does not accept using any source materials that do not meet the quality standards.

The issue of medicinal authentication is not only a pressing issue but it demands close attention. Simply stated, an herbal medicinal that is not authenticated may not be the correct or desired medicinal. Due to many reasons there may be a large variety of herbal materials being used and sold on the market that are not what we are claimed to be. Sun Ten has established that the herbal medicinals must be of the correct species before we may be implemented into the manufacture process. Verification of authenticity is determined through analytical scientific methods prior to acquisition of the source materials. Sun Ten used the People’s Republic of China Pharmacopeia as the standard reference of correct species.

Sun Ten is dedicated to consistent authenticity, efficacy, safety and quality of source herbal medicinals used. In order to accomplish and maintain this important aspect of the operation, we have developed the Sun Ten herbal sourcing team. It is the team’s mission to oversee and maintain all aspects of herbal source materials from authentication and quality assessment to the handling, storage and condition of materials that have acquired for manufacturing.
