Grape seed extract lab testing fields blocked out. ND 3rd party testing doesn't have fields blocked out.

ND doesn't offer grape seed extract. So I was looking for another supplier. Brand sells on Amazon. They sent 3rd party lab report with the manufacturer with Private and confidential stamped across it. the owner is listing his own home address as the business address? They reason I was given "name of our manufacturer is proprietary information" people are trying to steal it...
is this normal? It seems everything is not above board but I usually only buy from ND so I have nothing else to compare to.
ND could you have a grape seed extract or are the supplement benefits not worth it?

These guys clearly use contract manufactures and I am not interested In someone who is hiding their manufacturer (while claiming based in USA) and doing no more than selling marked up re-labeled generic products from their house.

95% of supplement companies use contract manufacturers. We are very unique in that sense, because almost no brands make their own products in this industry. The ones that do are usually huge, like NOW Foods. Even massive brands use contract manufacturers a lot of the time, though. For instance, Thorne uses contract manufacturers to make a large part of their catalog. That doesn't make it inherently wrong. There are good contract manufacturers out there. There are just a lot of shitty ones, and rando Amazon brands registered to personal houses are certainly using the shittiest of the shitty ones.
