Hey i guys i need vitamin a supplement without any other ingredient like fish liver, soy, gluten. This one has only sunflower oil. I don't know how much sunflower oil is in one capsule though, i might be allergic to sunflower too (i don't know yet) but other than that there seems to be no allergic ingredients but i don't know about the company. Is this company really gives non gmo, good quality supplements?
My vitamin Assymptoms :- cyst acne one face and body, keratossis, psoriasis.

Here are the chromatograms. If I am lying, I can be sued for fraud. I've done this for 13 years now. I've never been sued by any brands that I have released results on.
Nutricost had zero saffron bioactives in our recent testing.
Here are the chromatograms from Nutricost's saffron.
We also tested Nutricost's Tribulus, and there was ZERO protodioscin.
We also tested Nutricost's boswellia in 2023, and it was horrible as well.
They claim 1,200mg of a 60% boswellic acid extract, which would be 720mg of boswellic acids per serving. How much do you think we found? 11.75mg. ELEVEN MILLIGRAMS, when their claim is 720mg... To be fair, a lot of Boswellia we tested failed. There is a Chinese supplier selling what they claim to be a 60% boswellic acid extract, but has almost zero. This looks just like what Nutricost bought, based on a comparison of the chromatograms. It's dirt cheap from that Chinese supplier, so that's what you get when you go with a brand that doesn't properly lab test.
Also, ALL the Tribulus on the market that we bought had zero protodioscin. It's not like Nutricost was an outlier there. Literally everyone we bought was the same.
All of them had ZERO protodioscin.
Here is a chromatogram of our Tribugen capsules for reference.
Spec of 61mg of protodioscin per capsule, with a result of 64mg. Our dose is two capsules, so 128mg protodioscin per dose. First peak is protodioscin. Second peak is dioscin. We always see dioscin coming after protodioscin in our Tribulus samples. However, it is not part of our specification.
Here is a chromatogram of our Dioscorea capsules for reference.
Our Dioscorea capsules have a spec of 160mg of protodioscin, and this result shows 192mg. Dioscorea has higher levels of protodioscin, but lower levels of dioscin, which is why you don't see that peak in this chromatogram.
Here is a chromatogram of our supercritical CO2 Boswellia
Our spec here is 20% boswellic acids, of which 5% is AKBA. We found 25.9% total and 8.3% AKBA.
Here is a chromatogram of our saffron capsules.
Spec of 2.25mg crocins, with a result of 2.43mg.
I'm not saying you have to buy from us, but sure as hell don't buy from them. Only buy from a brand that will openly share lab data with you proving their products contains what they claim it to.
