Does Nootropics Depot list their testing certificates online anywhere?

What they were answering

They're not publicly posted, but you can easily request them through their email. They've long had plans to make it an easy thing to do on the consumer-side without having to contact them at all and I'm sure that's still in the works.

I actually finished my project on the spec sheets and COAs a couple weeks back! I did a redesign of our spec sheet and COA formatting. I wanted to modernize the way people looked at COAs and spec sheets to include more education on methodology. The methodology used is a HUGE part of the validity of the numbers, but most people have no idea about any of it. So I thought it would be cool to have spec sheets and COAs more prominently show the methodology used, then tie that back to educational blogs on how those methodologies/machines work and what they measure.

Here is an example of a new spec sheet.

You can see I kept the traditional table style for the data, so people would be familiar with it. However, we now have little icons for every methodology used to test that particular compound. This shows people the machines used to get the numbers and makes it a lot more clear that type of thing matters. This will eventually tie back into an interactive section of our site where you'll be able to see an overhead view of our lab digitally stylized. All the machines we used will be able to be clicked on to learn more info about them and the methodologies they support!

Here is an example of a new COA.

You can see it is pretty much the same, just with a column for results. I think the machine icons turned out fantastic! We had a digital artist make them based off the actual machines we use. I want to help educate people on analytical chemistry and advance their understanding of how science measures things, because I think the vast majority of people out there are misinformed about how things work. Doing it visually is going to help simplify it and make people more interested in reading/learning about it. I think it is going to be pretty damn cool!

We are also in the process of updating and verifying all our internal specs. So we are hitting two birds with one stone and updating to the new spec sheet and COA format while we are updating the actual specs themselves. So my team is in the process of that right now. Once that is done, all the spec sheets on the site will be the new format, and the COAs given going forward will be as well. After that, the next project is an automated system to retrieve your COA automatically. Having my customer support give them out via email works, but an automated system is more ideal. We have just been trying to decide on the details of how to accomplish that. Once the actual formatting and updating of the sheets is complete, then we will decide on the system to accomplish that.

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb asked me to post the Lab Testing COAs I received from Bulk Supplements (Below)

That's about what I expected. These are just internal COAs. To start, analyzing nitrogen content is not an appropriate methodology for amino acid assay. This is the same shit China got away with on infant formula and spi
