Laboratory Testing Capabilities for Marine Supplements

Our lab testing panels are tailored to meet FDA, Amazon, and retailer requirements, with validated methods suitable for finished products and raw materials.

Identity Testing

• Confirm species and source (e.g., red seaweed species in sea moss, krill origin)

• Marine collagen peptide characterization

• FTIR, HPTLC, microscopy, and amino acid profiling

Potency Testing

• EPA/DHA omega-3 content in krill oil and fish oil

• Hydroxyproline levels in marine collagen (protein integrity)

• Iodine content in sea moss

• Vitamin and mineral profile (Vitamin D, calcium, magnesium)

Purity & Contaminant Testing

• Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) via ICP-MS

• Microbial analysis (TAMC, yeast & mold, E. coli, Salmonella)

• Plasticizers, microplastics, and solvent residues on request

• Shelf-life and oxidation (TOTOX value for oils)

Label Claim Verification

• Verify active nutrient content matches packaging claims

• Detect under-dosing or undeclared fillers

Stability & Shelf-Life Testing (optional)

• Real-time and accelerated stability testing for collagen powders, gels, and oils

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is marine supplement testing?
Marine supplement testing includes lab analysis of fish-, algae-, or seaweed-derived ingredients such as collagen, sea moss, or krill oil to verify purity, identity, and potency.

Do you test marine collagen for protein content?
Yes. We measure hydroxyproline levels and perform amino acid profiling to confirm collagen type and concentration.

Can you detect contamination in sea moss products?
Absolutely. We test sea moss for heavy metals, microbial growth, iodine concentration, and species authenticity to prevent adulteration.

Do you test krill oil for EPA/DHA content and oxidation?
Yes. We test omega-3 content and oxidation markers like TOTOX value, peroxide value, and anisidine value to ensure product freshness.

Can you test marine supplements for Amazon compliance?
Yes. Our reports support Amazon supplement lab requirements including identity, label claims, and microbial safety.
