Kirkman produces specialty nutritional supplements. We work with researchers, doctors and scientists in developing our products. Our mission and purpose is to offer the highest quality dietary supplements available and in the dosage forms which will be easy to administer to children, adults, and people with special needs and special requirements. Kirkman also formulates versions of its products which will be appropriate for the sensitive individual, or for those with allergic tendencies. These versions of our products are what constitutes our popular "Hypoallergenic" product line.

At Kirkman, we are committed to formulating state of the art dosage forms of nutritional supplements that are convenient, easier to administer, better tasting, easier to swallow, better absorbed, and non-irritating to the digestive system than many of those found in traditional retail channels.

THE KIRKMAN® NAME IS SYNONOMOUS WITH QUALITY

Kirkman® will settle for no less than having quality products. This is our standard and will never be compromised. Our customers have come to expect this standard from Kirkman and our selection of ingredients, formulas, personnel and operating procedures ensure that this commitment is maintained.

Formulations sold by Kirkman have been developed using an advisory board of experts in the field of science and nutrition.

Quality at Kirkman begins with the selection of raw materials to be used in the manufacturing process. Once an ingredient is decided upon, a search of all available suppliers is done. Samples and specifications are obtained from all qualified vendors for that item and an evaluation is performed based on source, potency, and impurities including heavy metals, pesticides, casein, gluten and others pertinent to that material. Whenever possible pharmaceutical grade materials are used, but in the case of food ingredients or herbal products, pharmaceutical grades are often not available. Under those circumstances, the best source available is chosen.

Before any formulation is made available for sale, product stability is verified, which ensures that potency, purity and physical characteristics remain satisfactory through the "best by" date.

Kirkman has stringent requirements in the hiring of personnel. Our dedicated staff is aware of our quality commitment and goes out of their way to guarantee prompt, efficient service.

Kirkman's Standard Operating Procedures are based on "Good Manufacturing Practices" as defined by the Food and Drug Administration.

KIRKMAN'S SPECIALTY DOSAGE FORMS

Kirkman® strives to have dosage forms which serve the needs of all individuals regardless of age, special needs, sensitivities or allergies. Administering supplements is not always as easy as it sounds. The following unique situations can be challenging and often require special formulations to get compliance with nutritional regimens:

· Inability to swallow pills
· Number of pills required
· Objectionable odor of products
· Objectionable texture of products
· Objectionable taste of products
· Objectionable visual appearance of products
· Sensitivities to other ingredients such as flavors, colors, preservatives and/or chemicals
· Allergies to ingredients, flavors, colors, preservatives and/or chemicals

Kirkman® tries to address all of these unique situations by offering many different types of dosage forms. The dosage forms offered for a given product will be determined by the individual characteristics of that product. Examples of our variety of dosage forms include:

· Flavored and Sweetened Liquids which may be added to juices or other beverages
· Flavored and Sweetened Powders which may be dissolved in beverages or sprinkled in semi-solid foods
· Small sized easy to swallow capsules for children
· Capsules which can be easily pulled apart and utilized as powders
· Hypoallergenic forms for the sensitive individual

It is our goal to always have some form of a given product for all individuals, regardless of their special needs.
