I don't think you want me answering that. LOL

The author of that study has been sued before by a brand he released results on, so I think he is more hesitant to name names these days. You can see him even mention it in the conflict of interest section of the study.

Anyone that is doing proper lab testing and quality control is good in my book! What all equipment do you guys have in your lab?

Man, I am really trying to resist shitting on all those... I'll bite my tongue for now, but I will say that Thorne is the only one of those others that I recommend, and that's based on the results of LOTS of testing over

We do independent testing now. https://omnientlabs.com/ We are an independent 3rd party ISO accredited lab now, and we do testing for multiple other supplement brands.

Son of a bitch! I reread it multiple times, and even had my team read it to find discrepancies before posting. We all missed the typo!!! >I want accurate testing and disclosures but I'm concerned lawsuits would do even

Yes, we subscribe to Consumer Lab. I have a few issues with their data and methodologies, but they are much better than Lab Door, that's for sure!

It's more than sad. I am so jaded after a decade in this industry. I really am. I was so optimistic when I first started my company right here on /r/Nootropics back in 2013. I thought I would be able to quickly force pos

All turkesterone on the market is fake. Most octopamine fake. Almost 90% of supplements tested did not meet label claim, with many having zero of what they claim. This bad.

You'd have to ask the authors. However, the primary author on it has been sued before by a company he called out, so he is likely trying to protect himself. It's even mentioned in the study at the bottom. >Conflict of I

I say that because I own a supplement company, so I only take our products now. I will take Thorne sometimes if we don't carry it, but that's about it these days. Everyone else has failed our testing at least once, inclu

We run our own independent testing lab now, so we definitely do testing for other companies. https://omnientlabs.com/ I realize that many might just not know what they don't know. It's not an excuse in my mind, but I k

I mean, I certainly agree with Nootropics Depot, since I own it. LOL. I don't want to get too far into shitting on other brands in this post. Consumer Lab is okay. We follow their results, and I have addressed a couple i

If you send an email to [email protected], that's answered by my lab director. He's on Reddit, too. His handle is /u/Omnient_Labs. He would be better to message, as I don't really check PMs these days. >But... whe

Why won't Swanson release their COAs to anyone? They just stop responding when you ask, or outright refuse.

Hey, if it works for you, stick with it! I use our EGCG and Microzinc everyday myself, and have been beta testing fucoidan. Citrus bioflavonoids is just a random grouping of them, but I take hesperidin and quercetin dail

NOW is pretty good. They have their own lab, and my lab director has chatted with their lab director at the AOAC conference. That doesn't mean we haven't tested something of theirs that has failed, though. They are just

Those sites are just BS. Not accurate at all. It says we have less than 25 employees... I have 90 employees, and we have 70,000 square feet of facility spread across 3 buildings. Hell, I have 18 people just in my lab.

Yeah, it's fake man. Most top results on Amazon are. Then people say our Panax ginseng is overpriced, when they have just been buying fake shit the whole time. Frustrating doesn't even begin to explain my feelings on the

Probiotics are a totally different thing. Those are not heat stable, save for very specific strains. It's part of the reason we don't sell any probiotics yet, apart from the fact that the QA process is totally different.

I think a lot of it is that people just don't understand how complex things really are, and what it takes to do it right. There's also no incentive for anyone to look deeper, as the industry standard is set so low. Why d

It's really hard to generalize. More advanced botanical extracts tend to have more issues than basic things like magnesium. However, we have tested a ton of failing magnesium products, too. It really just depends. Curcum

Pharmaceutical grade supplements isn't a real thing. It's a made up term by shady brands to trick consumers. You'd actually be better not buying from anyone that says it. It's not a regulated term, so anyone can just say
