“Third-party tested.” “ISO accredited.” “Certificate of analysis.”
These terms can inspire confidence in a supplement…but what do they actually tell us about the product inside the bottle?
In this first part of the special episode of Explorer’s Way, I’m joined by Paul Eftang and Kiel Hendersen to explore why not all labs are created equal.
We unpack the difference between measuring what’s in a product and reviewing what a manufacturer says went into it, why a lab’s accredited scope matters, and what brands and consumers should ask before accepting a test result at face value.
This isn’t about dismissing laboratory testing. It’s about understanding what makes testing meaningful, and recognizing the expertise, appropriate methods, and transparency behind results worth trusting.
Watch the episode for a closer look at what “tested” really means…and why it’s worth asking a few more questions. See the full Episode here:
