Nutritional Research Review
Each formulation begins with a review of published nutritional research concerning the specific micronutrients under consideration. Research is catalogued by publication date and scope. Ingredient selections are recorded against the research entries that informed them.
This review is not conducted once at launch. The annual revision cycle returns to this stage each year to incorporate updated research. If no new data warrants a composition change, the formulation remains stable and the review is documented as a confirmation entry.

- → Revision decision record (change / confirm)
Supplier Selection & Documentation
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. Each supplier relationship is logged with contact records, facility location, and material specification on file.
The supplier record is reviewed each annual cycle. New suppliers are not added without a documented qualification step. Existing suppliers whose documentation lapses are placed on provisional status until records are renewed.

Elemental Calibration & Ratio Setting
The elemental profile of each formulation — the precise ratio of each mineral and vitamin per serving — is set during this stage. Ratios are informed by the research catalogue from Stage 01 and are expressed as milligrams per daily measure.
Calibration notes record the rationale for each specific concentration. Where multiple ratios were considered, the alternatives are also archived. This produces a complete decision trail for the elemental profile of every Granofil composition.
Production & Batch Coding
Production takes place in a Jakarta facility operating under food-grade processing standards. Each production run receives a batch code linking it to the relevant lot record, supplier documents, and calibration notes. The batch code is applied to both the finished product label and the internal archive entry.
Batch sizes are fixed to maintain consistency within a production run. Variation from the established size requires a documented justification and a new lot record entry.

- → Lot record (links to supplier docs)
- → Production facility notation
- → Label verification checklist
Independent Laboratory Analysis
Every production batch is submitted to an independent laboratory (not affiliated with Granofil) for elemental concentration analysis. The laboratory conducts elemental analysis to verify that the finished product matches the composition stated on the label.
The resulting certificate of composition is cross-referenced with the product label and the calibration notes from Stage 03. A batch is not approved for distribution until the certificate is received, reviewed, and filed against the lot record. Any discrepancy between the certificate and the label triggers a hold and investigation procedure.
Lot Archive & Annual Revision
All documentation produced in Stages 01–05 is consolidated into a structured lot archive entry for each batch. The archive is organised by formulation reference, production year, and lot number. Entries are revision-controlled with a date stamp.
Once per year, the archive supports the annual revision cycle. Each formulation is reviewed against its archive history and current nutritional research. The outcome is either a confirmed continuation or a documented revision. No formulation changes without a record.
