How to Choose
Hot Dog
What matters, what doesn't, and how to spot the difference.
Five things that matter.
Third-Party Testing
Products tested by independent labs you can verify. No lab results? No trust.
Label Accuracy
What's on the label should match what's in the product. We find discrepancies in 40% of products we test.
Contaminant Screening
Heavy metals, pesticides, and microbes have no place in your products. We test for all of them.
Value Per Serving
Price-per-unit tells the real story. A $30 bottle with 30 servings beats a $20 bottle with 10.
Manufacturer Transparency
Companies that publish their testing, sourcing, and manufacturing processes have nothing to hide.
What to look for.
Trust signals
