── PROCESS ──────────────────────────────────────────

From Sourcing to Catalogue Entry

Six steps, each documented. No shortcutting allowed between steps. The process applies identically to the first entry in 2021 and to the most recent addition.

Supplier Assessment

Supplier Qualification Review

Before any ingredient enters the sourcing pipeline, the supplying facility is reviewed against a fixed qualification checklist. The checklist covers food-grade processing standards, chain-of-custody documentation, batch traceability records, and facility audit history.

Suppliers who cannot provide verifiable documentation at all checklist points are not engaged. Regional sourcing is prioritised where the supply chain documentation is most robust and where the verification chain can be most closely maintained.

02

Composition Brief

Formulation Brief — Fixed at Entry

Once sourcing qualifies, a composition brief is written for the formulation. The brief specifies ingredient ratios, active content targets, serving composition, and the functional role of each ingredient under published nutritional research.

The brief is fixed at the point of catalogue entry. Ingredient ratios do not change without a new verification cycle. The micronutrient balance recorded on entry is the balance maintained throughout the active listing period.

Independent Verification

Third-Party Laboratory Analysis

Ingredient profiles in Soraniv supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy. The laboratory analysis confirms elemental concentration and verifies that the active content matches the composition brief.

The analysis is independent — not the supplier's own testing data. The laboratory is not affiliated with Soraniv or with the supplying facility. Analysis results are archived with the batch lot record and are available on request for registered enquirers.

Batch Coding

Lot Record & Batch Assignment

Every production run is assigned a batch code and a lot record. The lot record ties the production batch to the composition brief, the supplier certificate of composition, and the independent laboratory analysis result for that run.

Batch codes appear on packaging and are cross-referenced in the Soraniv archive. The archive entry for each lot is given a revision number and a date of documentation. The current revision of each formulation is the one reflected in the active catalogue listing.

05

Regulatory Classification

Food-Supplement Registration

Soraniv 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.

The classification review is a mandatory step before a formulation enters the catalogue. A product that does not meet the compositional and labelling requirements for food-supplement classification does not enter the catalogue under any circumstances.

06

Annual re-verification calendar notation on a desk alongside a supplement formulation folder with updated analysis results

Ongoing Maintenance

Annual Re-Verification Cycle

Every active catalogue entry undergoes annual re-verification. A new independent laboratory analysis is commissioned for each formulation once per twelve-month cycle. The composition brief is reviewed against the new analysis result.

If the analysis result diverges from the composition brief by more than the permitted tolerance, the lot record is flagged, the supplier is notified, and the formulation is suspended from the catalogue until the deviation is investigated and corrected. The catalogue reflects current verification status at all times.

── SOURCING ─────────────────────────────────────────

Supplier Overview

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 and whose chain-of-custody records allow full traceability from origin material to the finished composition.

The Soraniv supplier pool covers European and UK-based facilities for most supplement-range ingredients, with specialist regional sourcing applied where the supply chain for a specific ingredient is demonstrably more robust from a named-region material.

The skincare range uses separate supplier relationships, with collagen peptide and hyaluronic acid sources reviewed on the same qualification checklist as supplement ingredients. Skincare ingredient concentrations are documented in the composition brief and independently verified.

Primary Sourcing Region

United Kingdom and EU-based facilities for the majority of supplement-range active ingredients. Named-region sourcing for specialist ingredients where documentation is most complete.

Documentation Standard

Certificate of composition per batch. Chain-of-custody record per supplier relationship. Annual facility review against qualification checklist. Deviation reporting required within 48 hours of identification.

Disqualification Criteria

Failure to provide full chain-of-custody documentation. Batch analysis divergence beyond permitted tolerance. Undisclosed facility changes. Silent ingredient substitution. Any of these triggers immediate disqualification and catalogue suspension.

What the Standards Cover

Nutritional Research Basis

Ingredient selection is grounded in published nutritional research. The functional role of each ingredient in the composition brief references peer-reviewed evidence, not marketing literature or category convention.

Labelling Accuracy

Every label is verified against the independent laboratory analysis result before production. The active content figure on the label is the independently confirmed figure, not the supplier's declared figure.

Archive Integrity

The Soraniv archive holds a complete record of every composition brief, lot record, batch code, and laboratory analysis result from the first entry in 2021 to the present day. Archive entries are assigned revision numbers and dated.

Skincare Ingredient Standards

Collagen, hyaluronic acid, and Vitamin C concentrations in the skincare range are documented in the composition brief and independently verified to the same standard as the supplement range. No separate standard applies to skincare.

Regulatory Compliance

All formulations are registered under food-supplement classification with the applicable local regulatory authority. Compositional and labelling requirements for nutritional supplement categories are met before any entry becomes active in the catalogue.

Professional Guidance

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. The catalogue presents composition data; individual requirements vary.

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.

── METHODOLOGY FAQ ──────────────────────────────────

Common Questions

Independent verification means that the laboratory used for batch analysis has no commercial relationship with Soraniv or with the supplying facility. The laboratory is engaged by Soraniv directly, commissioned for each batch, and the resulting analysis is compared against the composition brief before the batch is entered or continued in the catalogue.

A divergence beyond the permitted tolerance triggers an immediate suspension of that formulation from the catalogue. The supplier is notified, the lot record is flagged, and the deviation is documented. The formulation is not reinstated until the deviation has been investigated, a root cause identified, and corrective action verified by a new independent analysis.

The composition brief is fixed at entry. Any change to ingredient ratios, active content targets, or serving composition constitutes a new composition brief and requires a new verification cycle — including a new independent laboratory analysis and a new lot record. The original brief is archived under its original revision number and does not disappear from the record.

Yes. The collagen, hyaluronic acid, and Vitamin C concentrations in the skincare range are documented in a composition brief to the same standard as the supplement range. They undergo independent laboratory verification before entry and annual re-verification during the active listing period. No separate or relaxed standard applies to skincare.

Composition briefs and batch verification records are available on request for registered enquirers. Contact the Soraniv team by telephone at +44 20 7381 6294 or by email at [email protected] during office hours, Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00.
