Consumerlab report on Chocamine

Just came across a recent Consumerlab report on Flavanol content in different chocolate products including supplements. It’s behind a paywall but here is the link:
I like them as a third party testing company and sometimes use them for things like choosing the best Chocolate to eat etc. this is the first time they have tested an ND product to my knowledge. I know ND doesn’t claim that their product Chocamine has the highest flavanols, and is geared more towards other compounds such as threobromine. What still surprised me how low the flavanol content was for ND compared to Cocoavia (2.4mg vs 993 mg !!) . In addition, ND had worse cadmium level in comparison as well. Just curious to hear thoughts from people here and ND’s team.

No problem! Why ConsumerLab decided to test our product for something it is not even standardized to, then not test everyone else for the stuff we are standardized to, is beyond me. Why not test everyone for theobromine and show ours is the highest? Why don't they ever test our other shit, like bacopa, ashwagandha, rhodiola, etc.? The first product of ours they test, they pick Chocamine, of all things?!?
Their recent lion's mane testing results were absolute dogshit, too. Just nonsensical drivel. We are actually writing a response to their recent testing to show how shitty it was. We had a meeting when they came out, and were laughing at how stupid it all was. However, consumers actually make decisions off these results! Releasing misleading and nonsensical results doesn't help consumers. It actually hurts them. Straight to the trash is where their lion's mane testing results belong.
