The Right Tests Run The Right Way
Identity, potency, purity, and safety are the four pillars of supplement testing. From raw-material intake to release and shelf-life, our lab work is engineered to uphold these pillars before your product ships. We pair in-house screens for speed with ISO/IEC 17025 third-party lab confirmations for credibility, so you meet specs, retailer policies, and label claims without surprises
Every batch moves through a defined test plan—core safety and identity panels for all products, plus risk-based add-ons driven by your formula, claims, and channel.
Identity & Potency
HPLC/UPLC, HPTLC
Confirms correct species/actives and verifies label claims for vitamins, botanicals, enzymes, and amino acids.
Heavy Metals
ICP-MS
Pb, Cd, As, Hg against internal spec, retail thresholds, and Prop 65 exposure limits.
Microbiology
TAMC/TYMC
Total counts, yeast/mold, and absence of E. coli, Salmonella, S. aureus; probiotic products follow product-appropriate limits.
Allergens
ELISA/PCR
Validates “free-from” statements and sanitation between allergen runs.
Residual Solvents
GC-MS
Verifies extraction/granulation solvents meet ICH Q3C limits.
Pesticides
LC-MS/MS
Multi-residue screens prioritized for botanicals and “organic” claims.
Stability (as needed)
ICH-style
Room/accelerated to support shelf-life, potency retention, and USP performance tests (e.g., disintegration).
Dissolution/Disintegration
USP 2040/701
Confirms release characteristics for tablets/caps; critical for “fast-acting” or enteric claims.
Water Activity & Moisture
KF/LOD
Prevents caking and microbial growth in powders/chews; supports packaging selection.
Mycotoxins & Aflatoxins
LC-MS/MS
Risk-based for botanicals and grains; needed for certain retail programs.
Adulterants & Drug Screens
LC-MS/MS
Targeted screens for WADA-banned or undeclared actives in sports products.
DNA Barcoding
qPCR
Additional identity confirmation where morphology is insufficient.
How We Test
Risk-Based, Retail-Ready
We prioritize ISO/IEC 17025–accredited third-party labs for identity, potency, safety, and claim substantiation using USP/AOAC methods.
Panels are scoped by risk and claims:
Botanicals → Pesticides
Probiotics → Viability + Strain ID
Sports SKUs → Banned-Substance
Chain-of-custody, controls, and reference standards are documented by the lab and mirrored in our LIMS. Final COAs tie to your batch record, streamlining retailer approvals and certification submissions.
Full specs verification (identity, strength, composition, micro)
Dating Support
Indicative or ICH-style stability to set or confirm shelf-life
Retains & Trending
Retain-sample pulls per lot with periodic potency/micro trend reviews to detect drift.
Testing FAQs
Do you test every ingredient?
Yes—dietary ingredients are 100% identity-verified. Additional purity/contaminant tests are added based on risk and channel.
When do you use third-party labs?
For accreditation, specialized methods, certification programs, or retailer submissions. We pick the best-fit lab for the matrix and method.
Can you support “gluten-free,” “non-GMO,” or “organic” claims?
Yes. We align the proper ELISA/PCR, identity, and pesticide/GM screens, then coordinate with certifiers as needed.
Can testing be tailored to Kosher/Halal or vegan claims?
Yes. We verify inputs and run targeted assays (e.g., porcine DNA screens if required) through qualified partners, then package documentation for your certifying body.
Do you offer banned-substance testing?
Yes—through NSF Certified for Sport® and Informed Sport partners, including lot-by-lot testing where programs require it.
How do you set shelf-life?
We run indicative or ICH-style stability based on risk and claims, then trend potency and micro to justify dating.
Which methods do you follow?
We default to USP/AOAC where available. When no compendial method exists, our partners use validated, fit-for-purpose procedures with full validation summaries on request.
How do you handle Prop 65 for heavy metals?
We apply risk-based ICP-MS and, if you sell in California, compare exposures to Prop 65 levels. We can help set warning label triggers or engineer formulas/servings below thresholds.
Put Results Behind Your Label
From Amazon and retail specs to sports and practitioner claims, we coordinate ISO 17025 third-party reports tied to your lots. We’ll build the plan and handle the paperwork, no busywork on your side.
