Both Amide and Actavis are accurate on the age and amount of active ingredients in each pill. Actavis bought Amide ~
From the old Amide site:Amide Pharmaceutical develops, manufactures and markets a select line of high quality pharmaceuticals. The company was founded and incorporated in May of 1983.
The 63,000 square foot facility is located in Northern New Jersey. It accommodates the entire business operation, including product manufacturing, packaging/labeling and quality control laboratory. Manufacturing operations, facilities and documentation comply with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). Amide is registered with both the Food and Drug and Drug Enforcement Administrations.

We offer a diverse range of prescription pharmaceuticals, over 80 drug products representing a variety of dosage strengths, in excess of 100 chemical entities. The product line is solid dosage, and includes immediate and modified release tablets and capsules. As a manufacturer, our products are purchased throughout the United States by wholesalers, distributors, chain drug stores and managed care organizations.
From the Actavis site: Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Actavis is one of the world's leading generic pharmaceutical companies specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of generic pharmaceuticals. Based in Iceland, the company has operations in over 30 countries, with over 10,000 employees. Actavis expects 2006 sales to total EUR1.4bn, with approximately one-third of these sales coming from the United States, the company's single largest market. In the U.S. alone, the company expects to launch 15 new products in 2006, in addition to filing 30 ANDAs. The company's U.S. operations are located in New Jersey, Maryland and North Carolina.

And from the FDA government site on all drugs released into the US,
Subpart F-Production and Process Controls

§ 211.100 Written procedures; deviations.
(a) There shall be written procedures for production and process control designed to assure that the drug products have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess. Such procedures shall include all requirements in this subpart. These written procedures, including any changes, shall be drafted, reviewed, and approved by the appropriate organizational units and reviewed and approved by the quality control unit.
(b) Written production and process control procedures shall be followed in the execution of the various production and process control functions and shall be documented at the time of performance. Any deviation from the written procedures shall be recorded and justified.
§ 211.101 Charge-in of components.
Written production and control procedures shall include the following, which are designed to assure that the drug products produced have the identity, strength, quality, and purity they purport or are represented to possess:
(a) The batch shall be formulated with the intent to provide not less than 100 percent of the labeled or established amount of active ingredient.
(b) Components for drug product manufacturing shall be weighed, measured, or subdivided as appropriate. If a component is removed from the original container to another, the new container shall be identified with the following information:
(1) Component name or item code;
(2) Receiving or control number;
(3) Weight or measure in new container;
(4) Batch for which component was dispensed, including its product name, strength, and lot number.
(c) Weighing, measuring, or subdividing operations for components shall be adequately supervised. Each container of component dispensed to manufacturing shall be examined by a second person to assure that:
(1) The component was released by the quality control unit;
In other words, no matter what reports you read, the sealed, bottled pills from CustomHRT, are 100% THE SAME.
