Quality
Testing standards
Every authorized Gumitide run is screened for identity and potency of the declared actives, heavy metals and microbial limits before it is released for distribution. This page describes the process. The results for the current lot are on the batch record.
| Screen | Method | Why it is run |
|---|---|---|
| Identity of declared actives | UHPLC with diode array detection | Confirms that what is on the label is what is in the gummy |
| Potency, blend total | UHPLC | Confirms the blend meets its specification for the run |
| Heavy metals | ICP-MS | Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against a defined limit |
| Microbial limits | Plate count and pathogen screen | Total count plus absence testing for specified organisms |
| Moisture and water activity | Karl Fischer, water activity meter | Gummies fail on moisture before they fail on anything else |
| Allergen control | Line documentation and swab verification | Supports the dairy free and gluten free declarations |
Where it is made
Gumitide is produced in the United States in an FDA registered facility operating under current good manufacturing practice. Facility registration is a factual statement about a filing; it is not an endorsement, an approval or a clinical judgement, and we are careful not to present it as one.
cGMP practice covers the unglamorous half of quality: written procedures, ingredient identity verification on receipt, equipment cleaning records, batch documentation and retained samples. It is what allows a specific bottle to be traced back to a specific run months later.
Who runs the analysis
Analysis for the current cycle is performed by Penrose Assay Laboratories, LLC against ISO/IEC 17025 practice, and the resulting certificate is filed under PAL-2608-0473. Naming the laboratory is the point. "Third party tested" with no name attached is a phrase, not a claim.
Customers can request the certificate that matches the lot they received. Write to [email protected] with your order number and the code on the bottle.
What testing does not tell you. Analysis describes the contents of a bottle. It says nothing about clinical effect, and a clean certificate is not evidence that a supplement works. The evidence question is handled separately on the mechanism page, where the limits of the research are stated rather than glossed.
