Are your products tested for heavy metals?

Yes. Suppliers must provide documentation confirming testing for heavy metals including lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury. Our Informed Protein products undergo additional third-party testing. Throughout 2025, all tested products have shown heavy metal levels well within internationally recognised safety limits.

Why do plant-based products sometimes contain trace heavy metals?

Heavy metals occur naturally in soil and water. As plants grow, they absorb trace minerals from their environment - true for everything from oats and spinach to peas and rice. What matters is whether levels stay within safe thresholds. Ours do.

What certifications do your products hold?

We hold BRCGS AA grade certification at our main UK facility, plus third-party certifications through Informed Protein, Informed Choice and Informed Sport — each providing independent verification of quality, purity and safety.

Do you publish test results or Certificates of Analysis?

We maintain comprehensive testing records as part of our BRCGS-certified quality management system. For independent verification, you can look up our Informed Sport and Informed Protein products at wetestyoutrust.com , where every certified batch is listed with its test status.

Our Commitment to Quality - From Source to Scoop

Quality runs through everything we do - from the suppliers we choose to the testing we conduct, right through to the product that reaches your door. We're obsessed with getting it right so you can focus on what matters: Fuelling your ambition.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

Trusted Suppliers. Verified Ingredients.

Every ingredient starts with the right source. We operate a robust supplier approval and monitoring programme aligned with British Retail Consortium Global Standard (BRCGS) requirements - a globally recognised standard for food safety and quality.

All suppliers are evaluated on their ability to meet our specifications for food safety, quality and legality throughout the entire supply chain. Rigorous checks at every stage, not just the finish line.

Heavy Metals and Contaminants

We know this is on your mind. Heavy metals like lead, cadmium and arsenic occur naturally in soil and can be absorbed by plants during growth - meaning trace amounts can appear in virtually all plant-derived ingredients, regardless of brand or origin. Here's what we do about it:

● Suppliers must routinely test raw materials for heavy metals, pesticides and other contaminants before we accept them

● We verify supplier documentation and maintain records as part of our BRCGS -aligned quality management system

● Across our product range, heavy metals and contaminant levels are well within internationally recognised safety limits

Want independent verification? Our Informed Protein certified products are tested by third-party labs for heavy metals, pesticides and amino acid profiles - and you can look up certified batches directly at wetestyoutrust.com.

Production

In-House. In Control.

We manufacture across six in-house production and product development facilities in the UK, USA and Poland. Owning production means owning quality.

Our main facility in Warrington, UK, holds:

● BRCGS AA grade - the highest achievable rating in food safety certification

● Five-star Environmental Health Office rating

From formulation to final product, we control the process end-to-end. Consistency in every batch, guaranteed.

We also use select third-party warehouses globally - including in the US, Singapore and Australia - to get products to you faster, all held to the same quality standards.

Quality Control

Tested at Every Stage

We don't wait until the end to check quality. Our in-house facilities feature:

● Filtration systems - removing contaminants before production

● X-ray machines - detecting foreign objects down to microscopic levels

● Near-infrared (NIR) testing - verifying ingredient identity and purity in real-time

The production team runs checks throughout the entire process: raw material verification, in-process testing, and finished product inspection - all in line with industry best practice.

Third-Party Certifications

Independently Verified. Globally Trusted.

We don't just test ourselves - we bring in the experts. Our products carry certifications from the most rigorous third-party programmes in sports nutrition:

Informed Protein

Products with this logo have been independently verified for protein content and amino acid profile. Three samples across a minimum of three batches are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and adulterants. What's on the label matches what's in the tub.

Informed Choice

Regularly tested for banned substances and contaminants. Monthly blind samples are pulled from retail to ensure ongoing compliance. That logo means we've done the work - so you don't have to worry.

Informed Sport

Every batch is tested before release. Elite-level assurance for professional athletes and serious trainers who need zero doubt. No shortcuts. No surprises.

BRCGS Certified

Our Warrington facility meets the benchmark for global food safety. Full traceability from source to shelf. Accurate labelling. Strict allergen control. World-class standards, right where your supplements are made.
