CONTAMINANTS - MICROBIOLOGY

Microbial contaminants can break down ingredients, decrease potency, and degrade a product’s quality. Testing helps ensure products compliant and meet quality standards for microorganisms like bacteria, molds, and yeasts.

Characteristic Specification Result Method
Aerobic Colony Count ≤ 3,000 CFU/g Conforms USP <2021>
Yeast and Mold ≤ 300 CFU/g Conforms USP <2021>
E. coli Negative/10g Conforms USP <2022>
Salmonella Negative/10g Conforms USP <2022>
Staphylococcus ayreus Negative/10g Conforms USP <2022>
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Negative/1g Conforms USP <62>

CONTAMINANTS - HEAVY METALS

Testing for trace metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead ensures the product complies with protective laws like California's Proposition 65, and that the supplement won't expose users to harmful levels of chemicals.

Characteristic Specification Result Method
Arsenic ≤ 0.667 ppm Conforms ICP-MS
Cadmium ≤ 0.333 ppm Conforms ICP-MS
Mercury ≤ 0.020 ppm Conforms ICP-MS
Lead ≤ 0.267 ppm Conforms ICP-MS
