Lab Testing & Certificates of Analysis
We obtain third-party laboratory testing for our products and provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for your batch on request. Here is what testing can (and cannot) tell you.
Lab testing helps verify what is in a product and screen for certain contaminants. It does not guarantee that a product is risk-free, and these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
How to Read a Certificate of Analysis
A COA is a report from an independent laboratory. Knowing how to read one helps you verify what you are buying.
Product & batch identification
The top of a COA lists the product name, batch or lot number, and the date tested. Match this to the batch number on your product packaging.
Laboratory information
The report names the independent laboratory and often its accreditation. This tells you who performed the testing.
Test results
Results list each analyte (such as alkaloid content, heavy metals, and microbes) with the measured value, units, and a pass/fail or specification limit.
Review pass/fail summary
A summary shows whether the batch met the lab's specifications. Specifications can vary, so compare values to the stated limits rather than assuming.
What a COA Typically Reports
These are common test panels. The specific panels on any given report depend on the laboratory and product.
Alkaloid profile
The amount of key alkaloids such as mitragynine. This indicates potency, not effects.
Heavy metals
Screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury against safety limits.
Microbial contaminants
Testing for bacteria, yeast, and mold, including pathogen screening such as Salmonella and E. coli.
Identity & purity
Confirmation that the material is the intended plant and screening for adulterants.
Request a Certificate of Analysis
COAs are available by request. Email us with your product name and the batch or lot number from your packaging, and we will send the report for that batch. We do not currently publish full COA documents online.
A COA confirms the contents of a specific batch. It does not verify every unit of current inventory unless the batch matches.
