Supplement testing lab
What is nutraceutical testing?
Nutraceutical testing is the laboratory analysis of supplements and health foods to verify label claims such as protein, vitamins and minerals, and to check for heavy metals, microbiology and other contaminants.
Consumers buy supplements for what the label promises. Testing confirms the claimed amounts are present and that the product is free from harmful levels of heavy metals and microbes. FSSAI regulates these products under its Nutraceuticals Regulations, 2022.
Accurate Universal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. tests tablets, capsules, powders, gummies and protein supplements using HPLC, LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS and our microbiology section.
