How to Read a Certificate of Analysis
Understanding how to read a Certificate of Analysis empowers you to make informed decisions about your supplements.
1. Product Information
Verify that the product name, batch number, and manufacturing date match what's on your product label.
2. Active Ingredients
Check that the listed active ingredients and their amounts match what's claimed on the product label.
3. Contaminant Testing
Look for "Pass" results for tests on heavy metals, microbial content, and other potential contaminants.
4. Testing Laboratory
Confirm that testing was performed by an accredited third-party laboratory, not the manufacturer.
Common Questions About Our Testing
How often are products tested?
Every batch of every product is tested before being made available on our platform. We also conduct random testing of products throughout their shelf life.
What happens if a product fails testing?
Products that fail our rigorous testing standards are immediately rejected and not made available on our platform. We only sell products that pass all quality checks.
How can I view a product's COA?
Each product page has a "View Certificate of Analysis" link that allows you to access the batch-specific COA for your product. You can also scan the QR code on the product packaging.
Are your testing standards higher than required?
Yes. While the FDA regulates supplements, our testing standards exceed regulatory requirements. We test for a broader range of contaminants and verify potency with greater precision.
