Certificate of Analysis

Multivitamin Complete Formula

A multivitamin is the hardest thing in any range to verify, because it is not one product but thirty tested inside the same tablet. Some vitamins compete with each other for stability. Minerals can bind vitamins and pull them out of solution. Live probiotics and active enzymes have to survive compression into a tablet, which is a genuinely hostile process for both. We assay the whole panel on the finished tablet, because that is the only place the interactions actually show up.

Every Lot, Before Release

What We Test For

The full vitamin panel is assayed on the finished tablet and checked against every value on the Supplement Facts declaration. Minerals are quantified by ICP-MS, both to confirm potency and to screen for contamination in the same run. Enzyme fractions are measured in activity units rather than by weight. Probiotic viability is confirmed by plate count after tablet compression rather than before it. Botanical ingredients are verified by species and plant part, disintegration is tested so the tablet releases its contents, and heavy metals are screened by ICP-MS for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Microbiological testing covers total plate count, yeast and mold, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus.

How to Check a Lot

Reading Your Certificate

A certificate of analysis is a one page summary of what an independent laboratory found in one specific lot. The lot number at the top matches the number printed on the base of your bottle, so you can confirm you are reading the right document. Each row lists a test, the specification it has to meet, and the result that was actually measured. Results appear as a numeric value, as Pass, or as Not Detected, which means the substance was below the laboratory's limit of detection. Heavy metal results are reported in parts per million and compared against the limit set for that ingredient class. If a single row falls outside specification the lot is rejected and no certificate is ever issued. Certificates are added to this page as each new lot clears testing.
