Formulation Standard · Rev. 04 · Warsaw 2025
Formulation & Verification
The Tarikola methodology spans six defined stages: sourcing identification, supplier audit, compositional formulation, independent batch analysis, archive registration, and periodic revision. Each stage is documented to a numbered revision record.
Process Stages
Defined and documented formulation stages, each maintained in the archive record.
Revision Cycle
Annual Review
Each process document is reviewed and reissued once per calendar year, or upon any material change in supplier or formulation.
From Identification to Archive
Sourcing Identification
Ingredient & Supplier Selection
Each ingredient considered for inclusion is assessed against published nutritional research for relevance to men's everyday wellness. Sourcing priority is given to suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards and who can provide documented chain-of-custody records for raw material lots. A minimum of three supplier alternatives are identified per ingredient before any supplier is engaged.

Supplier Audit
Documentation Review & Qualification
Shortlisted suppliers submit their facility and processing documentation for review. This includes certificates of analysis for the specific lots under consideration, traceability records from raw material origin to finished extract, and evidence of third-party facility audits. Suppliers that cannot provide full lot-level documentation are removed from consideration. Qualified suppliers receive a Tarikola Supplier Reference Number (SRN) and enter the approved sourcing register.

Compositional Formulation
Ratio Design & Nutritional Rationale
Ingredient ratios are assembled based on the target nutritional function of each formulation. For energy metabolism compositions, the B-complex and magnesium ratios are referenced against published compositional data for men's nutritional intake. Each ingredient quantity is expressed as both a per-serving weight and as a percentage of established nutritional reference values. The completed compositional profile is drafted as a Formulation Specification (FS) document, which forms the manufacturing basis for all subsequent batches.

Independent Batch Analysis
Third-Party Verification
Ingredient profiles in Tarikola supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy. Each production batch is submitted to an independent laboratory for elemental and phytochemical analysis. The resulting Certificate of Composition (CoC) is compared against the Formulation Specification. Any batch where measured values fall outside the declared range is quarantined and not released. Released batches carry a unique lot code that corresponds to the archived CoC.

Archive Registration
Lot Record & Document Filing
Upon release, each batch is registered in the Tarikola archive under a unique lot entry. The archive record links the lot code to: the Formulation Specification version used, the Approved Supplier Register entries for each ingredient, the Certificate of Composition from the independent laboratory, and the release confirmation. Archive records are retained for a minimum of five years and are available for review upon written request to the Tarikola correspondence address.

Periodic Revision
Annual Process & Formula Review
Each formulation and its associated sourcing decisions are reviewed annually against the current state of published nutritional research. Where new evidence supports a material change to ingredient selection, ratio, or sourcing, a revision is initiated. Revisions are issued under a new document number and cross-referenced against the prior version. Reformulated products carry an updated batch numbering sequence to distinguish them from pre-revision stock.

Supplier Selection Criteria
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.
The selection process evaluates four primary criteria: traceability of raw material origin, facility processing standards, lot-level documentation availability, and a record of independent third-party facility audits. Suppliers are re-evaluated annually as part of the Stage 06 revision cycle.
Regional sourcing is prioritised where supply chain documentation is most readily verifiable. Where specialised plant-derived actives are sourced from non-European regions, the chain-of-custody documentation requirement is unchanged — suppliers in all geographies must provide equivalent lot-level records.
Chain-of-Custody
Full documentation from raw material origin through extraction and processing to finished ingredient provision. No undocumented transfer points accepted.
Lot-Level Records
Each ingredient lot is individually referenced. Compositional figures in our archive are per-lot, not per-product-line generalisations.
Food-Grade Processing
Supplier facilities must maintain and evidence food-grade processing standards. Evidence is reviewed at initial qualification and at each annual supplier re-evaluation.
Third-Party Audit
Preference is given to suppliers who have undergone independent third-party facility audits within the previous 24 months. Audit reports form part of the supplier qualification record.
Step 01
Sample Submission
A representative sample from each production run is extracted under witnessed conditions and submitted under the lot identifier to the independent laboratory for analysis.
Step 02
Elemental Analysis
The laboratory analyses the sample for elemental concentration and phytochemical content against the declared Formulation Specification. Results are reported per serving and per gram of finished capsule content.
Step 03
Release Decision
Measured values are compared against specification ranges. Batches within range receive a release confirmation; batches outside are quarantined. The release record is appended to the Lot Archive Entry under the corresponding batch code.
Accessing Batch Records
Archive records — including Certificates of Composition and Lot Archive Entries — are available on written request for any batch produced after January 2022. Requests should be submitted by email to [email protected], citing the lot identifier printed on the product packaging.
Responses to documentation requests are issued within five business days. Records are provided as PDF attachments to the correspondence email address provided in the request.
