Just a comment....I think you're making too much out of where the company is operated from. That does not imply that manufacture is accomplished at the same address, nor that manufacture does not comply with all safety practises.
For example, the last time I looked deeply into the situation, there were three fish oil encapsulators in North America, and the business was dominated by one of those. And yet there were dozens of companies selling fish oil caps, under different brands, many with similar niche descriptor (e.g. 'molecularly distilled'; that meaningless phrase was coined by this manufacturer), or specific DHA/EPA ratio that you could select from a list on the encapsulator's website. Most of the fish oil market traced back to one company. You could design your own capsules, and they would bottle them and label them for you. You'd likely have a warehouse somewhere, to receive them, store them, and reship them, but your business' computers could reside anywhere in the world, including in a residential area.
There are similar jobbers for multivitamin pills, and so on. They'll make whatever you want made, and that can include proprietary extracts.
My main concern with this product is not what is in it, but the proportions of the constituents. You just don't know what you're getting, because they don't break it down.
