Honesty over hype

24 measurements. 22 of them found nothing.

Every formulation on sale goes to an independent, accredited laboratory. Every result it returns is printed below, unedited.

The highest reading on this page is 10 times under the legal limit.

Results

Every parameter, every formulation, one table.

Values in full ink are the ones the laboratory could put a number to. Everything faded came back under its limits. Beside each metal is the maximum EU law allows in a food supplement, so every reading can be judged against it.

How to read this

  • A “<” value was below the laboratory’s limit of detection or quantification.
  • “Absent in 1 g” means the laboratory could not find the organism in the quantity it tested.
  • The laboratory applied no specification limit of its own. The EU maximum levels are added by us, from Regulation (EU) 2023/915: lead entry 3.1.28, cadmium 3.2.21.1, mercury 3.3.2.
  • A dash means EU law sets no maximum level for that parameter in a food supplement. We have not invented one to fill the gap.
  • Methods are European Pharmacopoeia monographs for the microbiology, and the laboratory’s own accredited in-house method for the metals.
  • Results relate to the item tested.

Against the legal limit

The highest reading on this page is 10 times under what the law allows.

Each rule is the whole of what Regulation (EU) 2023/915 permits in a food supplement. The mark on it is the highest result across all three formulations. Where the laboratory detected nothing, the mark stands at its detection limit, so the true figure is lower again.

  • Lead (Pb) 100× under

    Highest reading 30 µg/kg. EU maximum 3000 µg/kg.

  • Cadmium (Cd) 33× under

    Highest reading 30 µg/kg. EU maximum 1000 µg/kg.

  • Mercury (Hg) 10× under

    Highest reading 10 µg/kg. EU maximum 100 µg/kg.

These three rules are drawn in micrograms per kilogram: 1 mg/kg is 1000 µg/kg, so the 0.03 mg/kg in the table above is the 30 µg/kg here. No maximum level exists for arsenic or for manganese in a food supplement, so neither has a bar. Manganese is not a contaminant at all: it is an essential mineral, with an EU nutrient reference value of 2 mg a day.

How a batch gets here

Six steps between a field and this page.

  1. 1Source Actives and botanicals are chosen on a written specification: species, plant part, standardised content.
  2. 2Qualify The supplier's own documents are reviewed before anything is ordered: specification, allergens, certificate of analysis.
  3. 3Manufacture The batch is made by a certified manufacturing partner working to GMP. The partner's certificates are listed below.
  4. 4Test A sealed pack from the finished batch goes to an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. That is the report on this page.
  5. 5Release The paperwork is checked against the specification before the batch is released for sale. A batch that does not match is not released.
  6. 6Publish The report is printed here in full, with every result, whatever it says.

The paperwork behind it

Who is certified, by whom, and until when.

A certificate of analysis travels with a batch from the people who made it. An independent test report is commissioned separately, from a laboratory with no stake in the answer. Both matter and they are not the same document. Everything above is the second kind; everything here is the paperwork underneath it.

  • HACCP — Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Manufacturing partner

Certificate holders are identified by their role rather than by name: supplier identity is confidential, and it is redacted from the published reports for the same reason. Every certificate listed can be produced on request.

Who stands behind it

Formulated by a chemist. Sourced from the literature.

  • The formulations are set by a chemist, at doses taken from the studies the actives were standardised in, and printed in full on every label.
  • Every claim on this store is tied to a published paper, listed with its identifier so you can read the source rather than take our summary of it.
  • Where the evidence is thin, we say so on the page it belongs to. A supplement is nutritional support, not a medicine, and nothing here treats or cures anything.

The limits of this record

What these reports do not say.

  • Each report describes the batch the laboratory received: one sealed pack of sixty capsules, opened and measured. It is a record of that batch, not a promise about every batch after it.
  • They cover contamination and microbiology. Identity and dose are set by the specification the batch is manufactured to, not by these reports.
  • Formulations that are not yet in production have no report here. When they are tested, their results join the table above.
  • The complete signed reports are retained by SoulBotanic Ltd. The versions published here are public extracts, with every result unchanged.
