Hi Everyone
Thanks for your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.
Riax,
Cipla Nutrition is the ONLY South African Sports Nutrition brand that manufactures supplements in
cGMP Certified & MCC (Medicines Control Council) Licensed facilities - the same standard as used for PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION.
See the details and our facilities here:

"Why are cGMPs so important?
A consumer usually cannot detect (through smell, touch, or sight) that a drug product is safe or if it will work. While cGMPs require testing, testing alone is not adequate to ensure quality. In most instances testing is done on a small sample of a batch (for example, a drug manufacturer may test 100 tablets from a batch that contains 2 million tablets), so that most of the batch can be used for patients rather than destroyed by testing. Therefore, it is important that drugs are manufactured under conditions and practices required by the cGMP regulations to assure that quality is built into the design and manufacturing process at every step. Facilities that are in good condition, equipment that is properly maintained and calibrated, employees who are qualified and fully trained, and processes that are reliable and reproducible, are a few examples of how cGMP requirements help to assure the safety and efficacy of drug products."

Our claims of superior quality are substantiated by these approvals and certifications.
If you are based in Durban, Cape Town or Johannesburg - we invite you to come and see our facilities. Please just let us know via PM and we can set this up.
The sport supplement industry in South Africa is UNREGULATED - the same as in the USA. See this short video clip from the Documentary "Bigger Stronger Faster" as an explanation:

What GUARANTEE YOU, that what we say on the label, is what you will find inside the packaging. We believe you deserve quality - and we provide the BEST QUALITY.
Orihalcon - Thank you for your contribution and great feedback.
For us, it is important to differentiate between:
A. Protein per 100g claim on the label &
B. Protein actually present inside the packaging
Due to the South African advertising standards, we cannot directly compare product lab results publicly.
But an independent US study confirmed that very few Protein supplements tested contained what they had claimed on the label, due to sub-par: formulations, raw product, manufacturing facilities and packaging

We produce our supplements in a Pharmaceutical environment, under the same standards and conditions as used for producing human PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION.
What is on the label, IS what you'll find inside the packaging.
YOU DESERVE QUALITY. And we provide nothing less than the best quality.
