Pelantra
Methodology Process Overview

A Process Recorded
at Every Stage.

Pelantra’s formulation methodology begins with a sourcing archive, not a marketing brief. Each stage — from supplier qualification to lot dispatch — generates a record that is maintained indefinitely.

01 Six-Stage Process

From sourcing archive to lot dispatch — six documented stages.

01

Supplier Identification & Qualification

The process begins in the sourcing archive. Potential suppliers are identified through published databases of food-grade ingredient manufacturers operating in Southeast Asia and beyond. Each candidate undergoes a qualification review covering facility documentation, chain-of-custody records, and prior batch certificates.

Qualification criteria: food-grade processing standards, verifiable certificate of composition for each ingredient, documented lot traceability, and a minimum of two successful prior audit cycles. Suppliers that do not meet all criteria are not included in the sourcing register.

Ingredient Sourcing & Receipt Documentation

Active ingredients are ordered against the qualified supplier register. On receipt, each incoming material is logged against its purchase order and assigned a studio receipt number. The certificate of composition from the supplier is attached to the receipt record before the material enters the production area.

Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. Sourcing prioritises suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards. No material without a current certificate is admitted to the production area.

Batch Formulation & Blending Record

Each production run generates a batch formulation record. The record captures the quantities of each active ingredient used, the receipt numbers of the source materials, the blending sequence, and the date and personnel responsible for the run. This record becomes the primary reference for the lot number issued to the batch.

Blending is conducted in a food-grade environment. No ingredient substitution is permitted mid-batch. Any deviation from the formulation record is halted, documented, and reviewed before the batch proceeds.

Independent Laboratory Analysis

A representative sample from each production lot is submitted to an independent laboratory for elemental concentration analysis. Ingredient profiles in Pelantra supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy.

The laboratory is not affiliated with Pelantra and has no commercial stake in the result. Results are returned as a certificate of analysis referenced to the lot number. If the result falls outside the specified compositional range, the batch is quarantined and not released.

Encapsulation, Labelling & Lot Coding

Following release from independent analysis, the batch proceeds to encapsulation. Each unit is labelled with its lot number, formulation date, and expiry. The label content is cross-referenced against the batch formulation record and certificate of analysis before printing to confirm compositional accuracy.

Lot coding is the primary traceability mechanism. Any bottle in circulation can be traced from its lot number through to its formulation record, receipt documentation, and supplier certificates. This chain does not break at any stage.

Archive Entry & Dispatch

Before dispatch, the complete lot record — formulation record, receipt documentation, certificate of analysis, and label verification — is entered into the studio archive. The archive entry is assigned a revision number and a closing date. No further changes to the lot record are permitted after the archive entry is finalised.

The archive is the primary reference for all post-dispatch queries. Certificate of composition copies are available on request, cross-referenced by lot number. Archive entries are maintained indefinitely.

02 Supplier Standards

The sourcing register is not a vendor list. It is a documented record.

Pelantra maintains a sourcing register of qualified ingredient suppliers. Each entry in the register represents a supplier that has been evaluated against the studio’s documentation criteria — not simply a supplier that was available or price-competitive.

The register is reviewed annually. Suppliers that fail to maintain their documentation standards are removed from the register and no longer source ingredients for Pelantra compositions. Removal from the register triggers a review of any in-stock materials sourced from that supplier.

Regional sourcing is a preference, not a rule. Pelantra prioritises suppliers in Southeast Asia where documentation standards are equivalent — reducing transport chain length and enabling more direct audit relationships. Where a regional supplier cannot meet the documentation criteria, sourcing is extended to verified international suppliers.

Documentation Criteria

  • Certificate of composition for every ingredient lot
  • Verifiable food-grade processing environment
  • Lot traceability from raw material to shipping
  • Minimum two prior audit cycles on record
  • Signed chain-of-custody documentation at dispatch

Sourcing Priorities

  • Regional Southeast Asian suppliers where documentation equivalent
  • Named-region material with verifiable origin record
  • Stable multi-year supplier relationships over spot purchasing
  • Annual register review and re-qualification cycle
03 Verification Standards

Elemental Concentration Testing

Each production lot is submitted for elemental concentration analysis. The resulting certificate confirms that labelled quantities match the actual composition within the permitted variance range.

Certificate Archive by Lot

Every certificate of analysis is filed against its lot number in the studio archive. The archive entry is locked on the dispatch date. Certificates are available to customers on written request referencing the lot number.

No Release Without Certificate

Batches are not dispatched until the independent laboratory certificate of analysis has been received and filed. There is no conditional or provisional release. The certificate is a prerequisite, not a formality.

05 Regulatory Standing

Product Classification

Pelantra products are nutritional food-supplements registered with the applicable local regulatory authority under food-supplement classification. Products meet compositional and labelling requirements for nutritional supplement categories.

Research Basis

Ingredient profiles in Pelantra supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy. Ingredient selections are not based on unpublished internal studies or proprietary claims.

Sourcing Disclosure

Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. Sourcing prioritises suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards.

Wellness Advisory

We recommend speaking with a qualified wellness or nutrition professional before introducing any supplement to your daily routine, particularly if you have specific dietary requirements.

06 The Archive
“The archive is the product. The bottle is its delivery mechanism.”

The studio archive contains every formulation record, receipt document, independent certificate of analysis, and label verification ever produced by Pelantra. Archive entries are indexed by lot number and by production date.

Archive entries are not deleted. When a formulation is updated, the previous version is retained and marked as superseded. This creates a full compositional history that can be audited at any point.

Customers who wish to verify the composition of a product they have purchased may request a copy of the relevant certificate of analysis by contacting the studio with the lot number found on their bottle.
