Kelker Pharma
Riverside, California
Kelker Pharma, Inc. is a contract manufacturer of dietary supplements based in Riverside, California, operating from a 75,000-square-foot facility. Founded by Tariq Kelker, M.D. (a trauma surgeon and formulation specialist), the company manufactures capsules, tablets, powders, and nutritional bars for brands in sports nutrition, weight management, and general health. The company reports a production capacity of 10 million capsules and 5 million tablets per day. In 2025, Kelker launched its own consumer brand, NUTRILINQ, focused on nutritional support for GLP-1 medication users. Kelker claims cGMP, FDA registration, USDA Organic (via Oregon Tilth), and NSF GMP/Sport certifications, though none were independently verified through third-party directory searches.

What We Couldn't Confirm

Assessment Notes
Greg has a direct professional relationship with Kelker Pharma, disclosed here and on the profile. All listed certifications (cGMP Compliant, FDA Registered) are self-reported and could not be independently confirmed. The most significant gap: All certifications are self-reported; none independently verified through third-party directory searches. Independent third-party audit or certifying body confirmation would strengthen this profile beyond its current status.
