Major supplement brands like Pure Encapsulations and Thorne rely on their own testing instead of independent labs, then hide the results. The speaker argues that "tested and pass" means nothing when regulatory standards only guarantee safety, not quality or purity. He expects companies will soon have to prove what's actually in the bottle.
Many of the big professional-grade supplement companies, Pure Encapsulations, Thorne, Integrative Therapeutics, but most of these big companies, they do all of their testing in-house. I don't fully trust that. You should be sending your product to a third-party lab to have your stuff tested. I don't know why that's not the gold standard. It's wild. Most of these companies, they don't disclose their results. They just say tested and pass, you know, whatever regulations. A lot of those regulations are like bare minimums. They don't really mean a whole lot. It means it's like safe for consumption, but does it meet the standards of what you actually want to be consuming. I think now the consumer is getting very, very smart. They're way more educated than before. They're demanding cleaner products. They're demanding transparency. Like, companies aren't going to be able to get away with this for much longer, for just saying like, our products are clean. People are going to want to see the proof. I just think everyone should have full transparency and informed consent, basically.
