01 — THE STANDARD
A Six-Stage Production and Verification Standard
Briolan operates a documented six-stage methodology from initial ingredient selection through to batch release. Each stage produces a documented record. No stage is skipped and no batch advances without the prior stage's documentation being complete.

Research Review
Nutritional Reference Corpus
Formulation decisions originate from a structured review of published nutritional research. The Briolan formulation team maintains a reference corpus of peer-reviewed material covering micronutrient bioavailability, daily reference intake values, and the documented nutritional requirements of men engaged in regular physical activity.
The corpus is reviewed annually. Where updated research indicates a formulation adjustment is warranted, a revision record is created and the change is documented in the next lot record with its revision number.
Output: Research Summary Document — filed per revision
Supplier Selection
Documented Sourcing Partners
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 documentation includes chain-of-custody records for raw material origin.
Supplier qualification requires submission of food-grade facility documentation, batch certificate samples, and verifiable origin data. Each qualified supplier is assigned a Briolan supplier reference number maintained in the sourcing register.
Output: Supplier Reference Register — updated per lot
Sourcing Audit
Chain-of-Custody Verification
Before each production run, the incoming raw material batch is cross-referenced against the supplier's certificate of composition and the Briolan reference specification. Batch codes, origin codes, and expiry data are logged in the incoming material register.
Any incoming material that does not match the documented specification is quarantined and not used. The incident is recorded in the lot record under the relevant lot number. Substitution materials must re-enter the supplier qualification process before use.
Output: Incoming Material Register — per lot
Formulation
Blending and Encapsulation
The Briolan daily complex is produced at a food-grade processing facility. Blending, granulation, and encapsulation are conducted under documented procedures with in-process weight checks at defined intervals. Capsule fill weight tolerance is ±3% of target.
The facility operates to food-grade processing standards. In-process documentation covers blend uniformity, encapsulation yield, and fill weight records. These records are incorporated into the completed lot record.
Output: In-Process Production Record — per lot
Batch Verification
Independent Laboratory Analysis
Each completed batch is submitted to an accredited independent laboratory before release. The laboratory conducts: elemental concentration analysis (ICP method for minerals), HPLC analysis for vitamins, dissolution profile assessment, and labelling accuracy verification against declared values.
Results are reviewed against the Briolan specification. Any out-of-specification result halts the batch and triggers a deviation investigation. The batch is not released until the investigation is closed and documented.
Output: Certificate of Analysis — from accredited laboratory
Archive and Release
Lot Record Completion
Upon successful completion of Stage 05, the lot record is assembled and archived. The record contains: research revision reference, supplier certificates, incoming material register, in-process records, and the independent laboratory certificate of analysis.
The lot number (format: TRN-YYYY-NN) is printed on the base of each bottle. Lot records are retained in the Briolan archive and are available upon request for wholesale and institutional partners.
Output: Completed Lot Record — archived, available on request
03 — SUPPLIER STANDARDS
Ingredient Sourcing Requirements
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.
Named-region origin is recorded in the lot record for each active compound. Briolan does not source from undocumented intermediaries. All supplier codes are cross-referenced in the lot record against the Briolan supplier register.
Supplier documentation — incoming material register
REQUIREMENT 01
Food-grade processing facility with verifiable documentation
REQUIREMENT 02
Certificate of composition issued per supply batch
REQUIREMENT 03
Chain-of-custody record from raw material origin
REQUIREMENT 04
Named regional origin for each active compound supplied
04 — INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION
What the Laboratory Verifies Per Batch
Elemental Concentration
ICP-based elemental analysis for mineral compounds (Zn, Mg, Se, Fe). Verified against labelled values and Briolan specification sheet. Results reported in mg per serving.
Vitamin Active Content
HPLC analysis for vitamins D3, B12, B6, K2, C, and folate. Active content per serving verified against declared label values and within ±10% tolerance specification.
Dissolution Profile
USP dissolution apparatus testing to verify capsule shell and contents disintegrate within the documented time frame. Profile documented in lot record with dissolution curve data.
Labelling Accuracy
Cross-verification of measured concentrations against label declarations. Any discrepancy exceeding tolerance triggers a deviation report and batch hold pending investigation.
05 — FORMULATION REVIEW
Annual Formulation Review Process
The Briolan formulation is reviewed annually against the current published nutritional research corpus. The review assesses whether any ingredient ratio, form, or concentration adjustment is indicated by updated reference values or new research on bioavailability.
If a revision is warranted, a revision record is created. The revised formulation is assigned a new revision number. All lots produced under the revised formulation carry the revision number in their lot record.
The annual review also covers supplier qualification status, sourcing region updates, and any new food-grade processing requirements applicable under Indonesian food-supplement regulatory guidance.

Classification and Compliance Notes
Briolan 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.
Ingredient profiles in Briolan supplements are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy.
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.
