Enquiry:
I am currently developing a dietary supplement brand, and I will shortly be receiving samples of our three formulations.
We would like to have the samples tested primarily to verify the authenticity, identity, composition, and declared quantities of the ingredients in the finished products.
The main purpose of the testing is to ensure that what is actually present in the products corresponds to what has been declared by the manufacturer, and that the stated active ingredients are present at the expected concentrations.
We will be providing 100 g samples of each SKU.

Could you please advise us on the appropriate analytical testing required to verify the above formulations, particularly:

- Verification of the specific forms/standardizations where analytically possible (e.g. KSM-66® / 5% withanolides, Type I & III collagen, berberine HCl, R-ALA, etc.)
- Any other testing you consider important to confirm the quality, authenticity, and compliance of the finished products
Please also let us know if there are any additional tests you recommend for these products from a safety or regulatory-compliance perspective.
Quotation
Could you please provide us with:
