Microbiological cleanliness under the magnifying glass
Our laboratory performs detailed microbiological analyses, which are the foundation of supplement safety. We test for the presence and number of a variety of microorganisms, including bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, as well as fungi and mold. These tests are key to ensuring that the supplement that ends up in your hands is free of potentially harmful pathogens.
Heavy metals - an invisible threat
Detection of heavy metals is another important aspect of our tests. We analyze the content of elements such as cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic that, even in trace amounts, can have a negative impact on health. Our precise methods allow us to detect even the smallest concentrations of these substances, which is crucial for the long-term safety of supplements.
Composition under the microscope
We also offer advanced composition testing of supplements. Analysis of the amino acid profile provides valuable information about the nutritional value of protein products. Testing the fatty acid profile is invaluable for supplements containing oils or omega acids. These analyses help confirm whether the supplement actually contains what the manufacturer claims.
Detection of undesirable substances
Our laboratory goes a step further by testing for the presence of substances that may be unintentionally found in supplements. We analyze the presence of ethylene oxide, pyrrolizidine alkaloids or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These tests are key to detecting potential contaminants that could affect product safety.
