Went to a group job presentation - are these medicine products a scam?

VISION International People Group

Bloomberg overview of the similarly named Vision International People Group Public Limited. This is not necessarily the same company; scammy companies often take names similar to non-scammy companies.

HQ is in Cyprus.

FWIW following basic GMP guidelines isn’t that tough given as the FDA and equivalent publish their interpretations for free. Getting you facilities approved by regulatory agencies based upon your implementation of GMP is the hard part!

@phantom_lamb

they meet the GMP criteria (they boasted a lot about this)

Redirect Notice

WHO defines Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as “that part of quality assurance
which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality
standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorization”
(ref 27). GMP covers all aspects of the manufacturing process: defined manufacturing
process; validated critical manufacturing steps; suitable premises, storage,
transport; qualified and trained production and quality control personnel; adequate
laboratory facilities; approved written procedures and instructions; records to show
all steps of defined procedures taken; full traceability of a product through batch processing
records and distribution records; and systems for recall and investigation of
complaints.

The guiding principle of GMP is that quality is built into a product, and not just tested
into a finished product. Therefore, the assurance is that the product not only meets
the final specifications, but that it has been made by the same procedures under the
same conditions each and every time it is made. There are many ways this is controlled

• controlling the quality of the facility and its systems, controlling the quality
  of the starting materials, controlling the quality of production at all stages, controlling
  the quality of the testing of the product, controlling the identity of materials by adequate
  labelling and segregation, controlling the quality of materials and product by
  adequate storage, etc. All of these controls must follow prescribed, formal, approved
  procedures, written as protocols, SOPs, or Master Formulae, describing all the tasks
  carried out in an entire manufacturing and control process.

So their biggest boast is that they ***make the stuff consistently.

Woohoo.

Yeah, conforming to GMP should be considered an absolute bare minimum, along the lines of “not killing people on a daily basis”. It’s not something to brag about.
