ORGANA, a Springville, Utah-based wellness company founded in 1997, is drawing attention to a fundamental aspect of its operations: it manufactures its products in-house under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) rather than contracting with third-party manufacturers. The company says this approach gives it direct oversight of production processes, quality-control procedures and product consistency across its mineral and botanical portfolio.
Many wellness brands outsource manufacturing to specialized facilities, but ORGANA maintains responsibility for its own production. “There’s a difference between selling a product with your name on it and actually manufacturing that product yourself,” said Larry Mills, CEO of ORGANA. “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.”
The company’s in-house model supports a range of products, including Plant-Derived Trace Minerals, a liquid mineral product sourced from an ancient mineral deposit in Utah. Other offerings include Liquid Oxygen 125 PPM, Essiac Tea, a botanical blend based on a traditional herbal formula, and a Pomegranate Mineral Drink. These products reflect ORGANA’s focus on mineral and botanical formulations, with in-house manufacturing providing a consistent approach to production oversight.
Maintaining its own manufacturing operations also allows ORGANA to keep product development and production closely connected, the company says. As it continues to grow its retail presence, this operating model remains central to 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. The company, which holds a 5-star BBB rating, says it plans to maintain its focus on in-house manufacturing, GMP practices and direct oversight of production as it expands in the U.S. marketplace.
The emphasis on in-house manufacturing comes amid growing consumer interest in supply-chain transparency and product quality in the wellness sector. While the FDA does not evaluate claims that products diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease, ORGANA’s decision to highlight its GMP compliance and direct production control may resonate with consumers seeking assurance about how their supplements are made.
