Independent Lab Testing Results Of Supplements On The Market

Original post in this thread

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I have made a post in this sub. However, I saw a new research study today that I wanted to bring up. It highlights why my main mission over the past 10 years has been to not only advance the lab testing and quality control standards of the industry, but also to educate consumers on what to look out for, and how things work in the background. We are all ingesting these products! We are putting them into our bodies, so it's crucial that companies selling them do everything necessary to ensure they are what they claim to be, and are pure and free from contaminants. That is unfortunately the vast exception to the rule. Many of you may remember my post about turkesterone results from last year.

That whole situation blew way up, and every jabroni on YouTube was making videos about it. Some were saying I was a liar and fraud, and just trying to sell products. Some were saying I was in for massive lawsuits. Most were just doing it to get their 5 m…

This has driven me nuts for years. There are top listed Panax Ginseng extracts listed on Amazon that say they are 200:1 and sell 4oz for $29.95.
That's simply not possible. That means they're getting 50lbs of Ginseng roots, processing them, packaging them, and shipping them for under $30. The going rate for even the cheapest Ginseng roots in a Chinese herb market is double that per lb. Let alone 50lbs.
That's one of the reason I like to use whole Ginseng roots.

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 subject.

Well I looked back at your primary COA for Rhodiola Rosea, and sure enough, it says "Rhodiola Crenulata." So right off the bat things are not looking good. That's a mislabeled product. Rhodiola Crenulata is the most comm

It's not about pandering to anyone. If nobody buys something, what are we even doing? I don't want to sell things people don't want. If people are buying less than 10 units of something a month, that's telling me that no

For the first time, a vertical farmed ginseng reproduces the effectiveness on the focus of wild ginseng in a double-blind clinical study. Its composition in rare ginsenosides (Rg5, Rg3, Rk1, Rh2, Rh4) is close to wild ginseng. The mind-boosting effect is felt from the first day.

I recently tested their Pramiracetam capsules, and they were totally fake. No Pramiracetam was in them. I also tested their Panax Ginseng capsules last year, and they were totally fake too. No ginseng in the capsules at
