Our story
Founder-led nutra. Built on European pharma standards.
PharmScale is run by two founder-operators: Senad Bećirović manages the factory in Srebrenik. Esef Ćosić leads product development. Together we built a small ISO + FDA registered facility under European pharmaceutical-industry discipline, and every batch clears a full in-house panel plus an independent third-party one before it ships.
Mission
We wanted to sell supplements we would take ourselves. So we stopped asking other factories.
Esef and I both wanted to launch nutra products. The manufacturers willing to take a small order from a new brand were the ones we wouldn't put our name on, and the good ones treated quality as a line item to negotiate. So we built the factory instead: European pharma standards, ISO 22000 + ISO 22716 GMP, FDA registered, audited by TÜV Thüringen under DAkkS accreditation.
We launched in Europe first, where the standards are tougher and the audits stricter. When we expanded to the U.S., we looked at how supplements are actually manufactured for that market, and the quality gap was obvious. European production processes are harder, the conditions stricter. We decided that's exactly what U.S. consumers should get too.
PharmScale's mission is simple: best quality, honest price, both markets. We manufacture only what we sell ourselves, starting with PureNADH in the United States, so there is never a client on the other side of a quality decision.
No shortcuts
We're not the cheapest bottle on the shelf. We're the one you can audit.
Most of the supplement shelf runs cheap formulations and self-certifies. We don't. TÜV Thüringen, one of Germany's most respected certification bodies for food and cosmetics, audits our Srebrenik facility every year under DAkkS accreditation.
Every batch we ship clears two labs: an internal lab verifies raw materials and in-process samples before production starts, then an independent 3rd-party lab runs the full panel, microbiology, heavy metals, raw-material purity, on every released batch. Fail any test, the batch doesn't ship.
Visits & recognition
The kind of factory experts come to see.
Auditors visit because they have to. Professors, scientists and international delegations visit because they want to. A few moments from our floor and from the stages where our team's work gets recognized.
Our values
Three rules we won't bend.
No. 01
We test what we ship.
Internal lab on raw materials before production. Independent 3rd-party lab on every released batch. Microbiology, heavy metals, raw-material purity. Any customer can request the CoA for their batch.
No. 02
TÜV signs off, not us.
We don't self-certify and we don't ask anyone to take our word for it. TÜV Thüringen audits us under DAkkS accreditation, and every certificate carries a public registration number you can verify in 30 seconds.
No. 03
We charge what it costs to do it right.
We're not the cheapest bottle on the shelf and we don't pretend to be. A single recall costs more than a decade of savings on a "value" formulation, and owning the factory is what lets us refuse that trade.

How it started
October 2022. The day we cut the ribbon.
PharmScale officially opened the doors of its production facility in Srebrenik on October 15, 2022. Senad Bećirović cut the ribbon at the entrance to the production line, with the team, advisors and community in attendance. Almost four years on, our own products ship into the EU and the U.S.
