5-HTP! |

Amino
Enhancer |
Test Results |
In any formula, you want to test for blending. Industry standard is
to test 10% of the ingredients in a formula. In our Amino Enhancer, we
tested three ingredients, which account for almost 45% of total
ingredients and more than 55% of the active ingredients by weight. We
are proud to post our results, which show that our blending was very
much on the mark! |
|
Arthro 3 |
Test Results |
All three main ingredients (Boswellia,
Curcumin, and MSM) were tested and passed with flying colors. Each
ingredient was tested above 300 milligrams per serving. |
|
B Vitamin Trio (Sublingual B-6, B-12 & Folic Acid)
|
Test Results
|
For those taking our "mighty vitamin B trio," it is important to
know too much folic acid in supplements.
Folic acid is measured in very small amounts (micrograms, not
milligrams) and is recommended at dosages less than 1000 micrograms
(mcg) per day. Our lab results, just over 400 mcg per tablet, show that
our blending is spot on for this popular formula. |
|
B-100
Plus |
Test Results |
New product so we tested all the B vitamins including the extra
biotin - all passed! Also we wanted to make sure that the folic acid
levels were spot on... you can get too much! 1000 mcg per day of folic
acid should be the max. |
|

production run came back with great results. |

Cinnamon
(500mg capsules) |
Test Results |
While cinnamon does not possess standardized active ingredients, we
test for them anyway. We're happy to report 652.4mg cinnamon phenolics per
serving in our new Cinnamon product. |
|
Coenzyme Q-10 (50mg softgels) |
Test Results |
This is an expensive ingredient and if a manufacturer is going to
cheat, it's on expensive ingredients that are in short supply (there's
been a huge run on CoQ-10 since September 2003, increasing costs and
making supplies scarce). We're very proud to demonstrate our
results of 53.66mg for this top-selling Co-op product! |
|
Coenzyme Q-10 (60mg veg caps)
|
Test Results |

a total of 1044.2 mg of Tonalin®, with 80% conjugated linoleic acid. |
|
Cranberry
Concentrate (420mg 12:1x softgels) |
Test Results |
While not standardized for its active ingredient, organic fruit
acids, our Cranberry Concentrate still yields 234.1 mg! |
|
DHEA (25 mg tablets)
|
Test Results |
This is a very inexpensive ingredient, but we feel it is important
to demonstrate our lab results of 30.57 mg per tablet. Good news for
those interested in a product for anti-aging! |
|
Evening Primrose Oil (1000 mg
softgels) |
Test Results |
Evening Primrose Oil is a natural source of unsaturated fatty acids:
gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and linolenic acid (LA). Our Evening Primrose
Oil tested with over 91 mg of GLA. |

bilberry formula) |

bran, & psyllium) |
Test Results |
In this formula, apple pectin is the most expensive ingredient
and we're proud to post our results of 226.3 mg of apple pectin and
total other fiber of 414.9 mg (alas, some ingredients can't be tested
separately once in formulation). |
|
Fish Oil (1000 mg) |
Test Results |
In addition to testing our fish oil for EPA/DHA potency, we also
test mercury levels. Most companies would just say that
their fish oil has "less than 10 ppb" and never note they scored 9.5
ppb. We like being up-front with our members and happy to announce our
Fish Oil had 1.9 ppb (that's parts per billion) of mercury! Check it
out for yourself by clicking the test results on the left! |
|
Fish Oil (1200mg) |
Test
Results |
Concentrated Fish Oil provides a whopping 600mg of Omega-3s.
In addition to testing for potency, we've tested our Concentrated
Fish Oil formulations for mercury levels, too. According to
Consumerlabs.com, any mercury level below 10 ppb (parts per billion) is
considered "undetectable." And, while most companies would just say that
their fish oil has "less than 10 ppb" and never note they scored 9.5
ppb, we like being up-front with our members and are happy to announce
our Concentrated Fish Oil has only 2.6 ppb of mercury! To give you an
idea of just what ppb means to you, one part per billion is equivalent
to 1 drop in 11,000 gallons of water. Yep, one drop. Check out the
results! |
|
Garlic
& Cayenne |
Test Results |
While this is not a standardized extract, we test for active
ingredients anyway. The official report values fall within the normal
range for both ingredients. |
|
Ginger (500mg
veg caps) |
Test Results |
Our Ginger test result came in at a fantastic 521.8mg! |
|
Ginkgo Biloba (60 mg per capsule) |
Test Results |
Some producers just grind up ginkgo
leaves to make a ginkgo biloba product. But actually, quality Ginkgo
Biloba should contain concentrated ginkgo biloba extract which has 24%
of flavoneglycosides (bioflavonoids) and 6% terpenelactones. Test
results show that our product is spot on with these active herbal
ingredients, once again, providing top quality! |
|
Panax Ginseng |

Our label states that there is 50mg of grape seen extract. The test
found 52.16 mg! |
|
Greens Plus (950mg per two tablets)
|
Test Results |
The biggest thing
consumers worry about with greens products are pesticides. We opted for
the more expensive comprehensive pesticide test (even though we
specified organic materials). Note: Once greens are in formula, it's
difficult to test for individual ingredients, all of which yield
chlorophyll, trace minerals, etc. We're proud to share our "clean"
results on our Greens Plus product. |
|
Green Tea
Extract |
Test Results |
Our production run of Green Tea Extract 400mg passed with flying

300mg, MSM 300mg, & Collagen 175mg) |
Test Results |
Many products fail to match their label claims on Chondroitin, which is, by far, the most expensive ingredient in joint
formulas. We are proud our Joint Complex tested out
perfectly for all four ingredients (100% of active ingredients!). |
|
L-Carnitine (250mg capsules) |
Test Results |
Our L-Carnitine passed with flying colors at 258.6mg! |

Melatonin (3mg tablets)
|
Test Results |
This is a very
inexpensive ingredient and few would add the cost of testing into a
melatonin product's costs. We're very proud to demonstrate our
results of 3.2 mg melatonin for this product with so many benefits for
healthy aging!
|
|
Menopause Formula
|
Test Results |
Putting herbs in formula is a little tricky, so we test small
ingredients to make sure the blending is spot-on.
|
|
Milk Thistle (175 mg veg caps) |
Test Results |
We're proud to report our Milk Thistle tested out at a whopping
203.5 mg! |
|
MSM (Methylsulphonylmethane 1000mg) |
Test Results |
This is not an
expensive ingredient, so why bother testing and adding costs when the
product price and margin are so low? We are committed to establishing
top quality standards for all of our products! |

|
Probiotics 16

Due to a little underfilling manufacturing glitch, our bugs came in
at 11.2 billion this time around. Not to worry though, the bugs are
alive, well, and ready to clean up your gut! |
