The Standard
of Record.
Mendrix's formulation and verification process follows a documented six-stage protocol. Each stage generates a record. Each record is retained in the studio archive. The protocol applies without exception to every production lot, regardless of size.

From elemental profile to archive entry.
Research-Referenced Composition Target
Every formulation begins with a documented elemental target — a set of ingredient roles and quantity ranges derived from published nutritional research relevant to adult men's daily intake. The profile specifies not only quantities but the acceptable ingredient form for each nutrient, based on bioavailability data. This document is version-controlled and retained in the archive.
Chain-of-Custody Qualification
Supplier selection is conducted before any production order is placed. Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. The qualification process requires the supplier to submit facility documentation and a sample certificate before they are added to the approved list. Suppliers are re-evaluated on a twelve-month cycle.
Ingredient Ratio Execution
Production is conducted against the approved elemental profile. Ingredient quantities are weighed against the specification document. Each production run is assigned a provisional lot number at this stage. The production record — ingredient weights, supplier references, and production date — is submitted to the archive before the batch proceeds to verification.
Third-Party Elemental Verification
A sample from each production lot is submitted to an independent laboratory for elemental concentration analysis. The laboratory has no commercial relationship with Mendrix other than as a fee-for-service analytical provider. Results are reviewed against the specification. Any lot that does not pass within tolerance is held and the deviation is documented before any remediation decision is made.
Verification-Gated Release
The confirmed lot number is assigned only after the independent laboratory report is reviewed and approved against the specification. Batches that pass are assigned a permanent lot number and a release date. The lot number is printed on all packaging units and cross-referenced to the full verification record in the archive. No unit leaves the production facility before this step is completed.
Traceability Record Completion
The complete batch record — elemental profile, supplier certificates, production weights, laboratory report, and lot assignment — is compiled into a single archive entry and filed under the lot number. The archive is maintained at the Mendrix studio in Jakarta. Customers may request the archive entry for any lot they have purchased by writing to the studio.
How ingredients reach the formulation bench.
Sourcing prioritises suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards, with all origin documentation retained in the chain-of-custody record.
Before any ingredient is ordered, the supplier submits facility documentation and a sample certificate of composition. Both are reviewed against the Mendrix sourcing specification. Suppliers that cannot provide this documentation are not used. The approved supplier list is reviewed annually.
Every ingredient delivery is accompanied by a certificate of composition from the supplier, identifying the ingredient by its chemical name, the batch it belongs to, and the elemental concentration of the delivered material. These certificates are filed by delivery date and cross-referenced to the production lot they supplied.
Ingredients requiring temperature-controlled transport — including CoQ10 and certain B-vitamin forms — are specified for cold-chain delivery in the purchase order. Delivery temperatures are logged on receipt. Shipments that arrive outside the specified range are documented and quarantined pending review.
Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. The studio maintains a supplier-origin map that records the processing country and facility type for each ingredient. This document is reviewed as part of the annual supplier qualification cycle.
Mendrix does not use proprietary blends — ingredient combinations supplied as a single undisclosed weight. All ingredients are identifiable by name and quantity on the label and in the composition sheet. This is a formulation policy, not a regulatory compliance requirement.

Common questions about the protocol.
Mendrix 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 Mendrix 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.
