About Us
Synergy Therapeutics Rx was founded in early 2009, by the Physician-Pharmacist-Pharmaceutical team of Narinder Duggal, MD, Nicholas Wyatt, PharmD and Cory Ford, B.S. Synergy Therapeutics Rx specializes in providing consumers with supplements and phytopharmaceutical products that have an appropriate amount of scientific evidence proving their quality and efficacy. In order to reduce bias during the product selection process, Synergy Therapeutics Rx has selected top practicing medical professionals from around the world to be part of a multi-disciplined advisory board.
Synergy Therapeutics Rx provides supplemental and phytopharmaceutical guidance to the often misguided consumer. The founders of Synergy Therapeutics realize that there is a lack of profession guidance being provided to the consumer who chooses to use natural therapeutic approaches over traditional Western therapies. Consumers choosing to use natural therapies are often left to figure out the details of the therapy themselves or are left consulting with individuals who have little interest in providing a quality evidenced base product and more interest in selling the consumer the most profitable product. This practice is commonly found in retail stores, grocery stores, or nutrition shops. Synergy Therapeutics Rx is the missing link for those consumers looking for quality products and ensures that consumers are purchasing cost effective and scientific evidence based, therapeutic dosed products.
Synergy Therapeutics Rx assures that each and every supplement produced it manufactures is of the highest quality.
In a time where an increasing number of consumers are using supplements and phytopharmaceuticals of poor quality, no evidence and with little or no guidance, Synergy Therapeutics Rx is here to provide consumers with superior evidence based products that have been “Powered by Nature” and “Proven by Science”.
Synergy Therapeutics RX Manufacturing
Synergy Therapeutics RX uses partner laboratories, which are under the supervision of full time staff Ph.D.s, who constantly monitor quality. From receipt of raw materials in their facilities through testing dosage potency and tablet/capsule disintegration, our partner labs ensure product quality and consistency.
At Synergy Therapeutics RX, there is no greater mission than assuring that each and every supplement produced is of the highest quality. When you see the Synergy Therapeutics RX Certified Product Emblem that is our “Emblem of Quality”. Be assured that only the finest raw materials are being used and that all manufacturing is performed under the strictest of guidelines. Because healthcare professionals develop these products specifically for distribution by other healthcare professionals, our emblem has become a recognized symbol of quality that patients around the world have come to rely upon and trust.

Chemical Analysis Laboratories
Ensuring potency of formula components using:
HPLC: High Performance Liquid Chromatography is a form of column chromatography used frequently in biochemistry and analytical chemistry to separate, identify, and quantify compounds. HPLC is used to test vitamins.
UPLC Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography systems take advantage of technical pace in particle chemistry performance, systems optimization, detector design and data processing.
This new category of analytical separation science retains the practicality and principals of HPLC while increasing the overall interrelated attributes of speed, sensitivity and resolution. UPLC is used to test vitamins and herbs.
ICP-OES and ICP-MS are used for bulk elemental chemical analysis of just about any material or substance (water, biological materials, inorganic materials of all sorts, environmental samples, geological samples, etc.). Most of the periodic table (with the exceptions of H, O, N, F, CI) can be measured using ICP-OES and ICP-MS. ICP-MS can be used to test for heavy metal impurities (arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury). In many cases ICP-MS is able to detect elements down to the parts per billion or parts per trillion level.
GC-MS - Gas Chromatography with mass spectrometry is a method that combines the features of gas-liquid chromato-
graphy and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample. The GC-MS has been widely heralded as
a “gold standard” for forensic substance identification because it is used to perform a specific test. A specific test positively
identifies the actual presence of a particular substance in a given sample. GC-MS can be used to test for pesticide impurities.
GC-FID - A flame ionization detector is a type of gas detector used in gas chromatography. The detection of organic compounds is most effectively done with flame ionization. Biochemical compounds such as proteins, nucleotides, and nutraceuticals can be studied with flame ionization. With headspace sampling, GC-FID is used to test for volatile impurities, OVIs.
FT-NIR - Infrared spectroscopy is the subject of spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. As with all spectroscopic techniques, it can be used to identify compounds or investigate sample composition. Fourier transform spectroscopy is a measurement technique whereby spectra are collected based on measurements of the coherence of a radiative source, using time-domain or space-domain measurements of the electromagnetic radiation or other type of radiation. This instrument is used for raw material ID testing.
GF/AA - Atomic Absorption Graphite Furnace Spectrometer; The sensitivity of GFAA enables performances of elemental analysis that are virtually impossible using other analytical techniques. These are used to determine ppm and sub ppm levels of residuals in metals. This method is particularly pertinent in material analysis for the detection of trace metals.
Physical Analysis Laboratory
Ensuring dosage weight variation, hardness, disintegration, and overall consistency and appearance.
Microbiology Laboratory
Testing all raw materials and products for yeast, mold, and bacterial purity in accordance with USP/AOAC, when applicable.
New Product Development and Formulations
Dr's Duggal and Wyatt formulate every product that Synergy Therapeutics RX produces. In house formulations ensures that every component of the product has been reviewed and researched by a medical professional to endure that it meets our "Powered by Nature" . "Proven by Science" standards. New formulations are reviewed on a case by case basis by the medical staff at Synergy Therapeutics RX. |
