Many ecdysteroid supplement brands are lazy and source the wrong compounds or test for "total ecdysteroid" count instead of the specific ecdysteroid they claim to sell. We're helping bring transparency to the space.
Why We Test
The ecdysteroid supplement market has significant quality issues:
- Products labeled as "turkesterone" that contain no turkesterone
- Brands testing for "total ecdysteroids" instead of specific compounds
- Underdosed products that don't match label claims
- Poor supply chain transparency
Our Methodology
- We purchase products anonymously from retail channels
- Products are sent to accredited third-party labs
- We test for specific ecdysteroids, not just "total" counts
- Results are published transparently
Lab Results Coming Soon
We're currently building our database of independent lab test results. Check back soon for detailed COAs and test results for popular ecdysteroid products.
What We Look For
- Identity: Is the labeled compound actually present?
- Potency: Does it match the label claim?
- Purity: Are there contaminants or adulterants?
- Transparency: Does the brand provide their own COAs?
