supplement testing labs

do a Google search there's quite a few out there.I can't remember their names but its pricey to get stuff tested I know that when I checked into this stuff a few years ago.
 
I think your best bet is sending a full bottle to Patrick Arnold and see if he'll test it, not sure if he will but I'm sure he has the means to do so, I think he can tell you what's in it.

What are you trying to do anyway???

They test for a number of supplement companies including CEL.
If I wanted something testing I'd ask PA since I rep for him.
PA does testing for people sometimes, if he's not particularly interested in knowing the results himself I think he charges about a hundred bucks. He wont give you a COA though, he'll just give you an opinion.

Interesting... I've always wondered about this and the go-to lab of yester-year that would test steroid batches and finished vials of products was raided and closed down by the FDA. So, the lab linked above as well as Pat Arnold are two choices? So, if I have a bottle of any product and $100, P. Arnold will test the ingredients against a certain standard in his laboratory, and issue me an email with his findings? I wonder why if he conducts the tests and has the paperwork all in-house, he doesn't just substantiate his findings with a CoA etc for the paying customer?

I did a Google Search a couple months ago, and really didn't turn up anything aside from some obscure college campuses with no information or pricing details.

Funny, in a way, that BILLIONS of dollars are spent on supplements every single year, yet... it requires a private eye and a degree in Internet Research to find a service to simply test what you're putting in your body.

PA will test certain legal products, you'd have to ask him for specifics. I doubt very much that he would test or allow you to send him anything illegal.
You really have to ask why he wouldn't issue a COA? He's looking to limit his potential legal liability. I dont think he wants any more spurious lawsuits against him.

I dont really have standards of steroid stuff in my lab anymore. However I have records of mass spectra and I can test something and at least qualitatively see if that steroidal material matches one of the mass spectra in my library. But i cant give any quantitative findings. Also, its far from an official test. Also, I tend to not like to do this stuff anymore because even though these arent controlled substances I still am afraid of having association with these materials. Some agent somewhere might try to make something of it

Anyway, a very good lab to test supplements is american analytical chemistry laboratories Invalid Link Removed However, even though i got this guy started on doing alot of hormone product testing back in the day i doubt he touches that stuff anymore. Besides, he sold the business and i am not sure who owns it now

I am not an official analytical laboratory and I dont follow all the procedures and what not. I just do a cursory test which often is good enough to tell you if you have what you are supposed to have in your product

I absolutely will not touch any controlled substances. That can get my lab equipment confiscated and me in big ass trouble. I am even scared to test legal stuff, because in the past i have been shipped legal (well, legal is a loose term here) stuff that has turned out to contain controlled substances. As soon as i identify that the stuff is controlled i commit a felony because i am knowingly in possession of a controlled substance. Bad news

AACL apparently might test hormones. testosterone is on their list however i dont know if that includes esters

Invalid Link Removed


If you live in a country where steroids are legal than you may or may not be able to send the stuff to them and get it tested. i dunno, i am not an attorney

anyway, they obviously have a dea license so i suppose they can obtain standards to test controlled substances if they are well known compounds
