In an industry where many wellness brands outsource production to third-party contract manufacturers, ORGANA, a Utah-based wellness company, is highlighting its commitment to in-house manufacturing and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This approach gives ORGANA greater oversight of production processes, quality control, and product consistency, setting it apart from competitors that may have less direct control over how their products are made.
According to Larry Mills, CEO of ORGANA, the distinction is crucial. "There's a difference between selling a product with your name on it and actually manufacturing that product yourself," Mills said. "We've chosen to handle our own manufacturing because we want direct oversight of the products we put into the marketplace. Quality is something we take seriously throughout the process." By keeping manufacturing in-house, ORGANA can ensure that GMP standards are followed at every stage, from raw materials to finished goods.
This operating model supports a diverse portfolio of mineral and botanical wellness products. Among them are Plant-Derived Trace Minerals, a liquid mineral product sourced from an ancient mineral deposit in Utah, and Liquid Oxygen 125 PPM, part of ORGANA's broader wellness lineup. The company also offers Essiac Tea, a botanical product based on a traditional herbal blend, and a Pomegranate Mineral Drink, a pomegranate-flavored liquid mineral product. These products reflect ORGANA's focus on mineral and botanical formulations, with in-house manufacturing providing a consistent approach to production oversight across the portfolio.
The implications of ORGANA's in-house manufacturing extend beyond quality control. It allows the company to keep product development and production closely connected, enabling faster innovation and greater responsiveness to consumer needs. As ORGANA continues to grow its retail presence, this operating model remains an important part of its approach to quality and customer confidence. "Consumers don't always know who actually makes the products they're buying," Mills added. "For us, manufacturing isn't something we've handed off to another company. It's part of who we are and how we operate."
ORGANA products are available through Amazon, Walmart, and OneLavi.com, providing consumers with access to the company's mineral and botanical wellness portfolio. As ORGANA expands its presence in the U.S. marketplace, it plans to maintain its focus on in-house manufacturing, GMP practices, and direct oversight of production. For a company founded in 1997, this commitment to quality and transparency may serve as a model for others in the wellness industry.
