World First-of-its-Kind Heavy Metal Testing & Certification (HTMc)
Eight metals. One published standard. Independently tested.
Heavy Metal Certified is a certification program, not a laboratory. We evaluate products against a published standard, coordinate testing through qualified independent laboratories, and license the Heavy Metal Certified mark to products that conform.
Detection is not the same as risk. Modern instruments find metals at parts per trillion. What matters is the amount per daily serving, measured the same way every time.
Infant and child foods are certifying now under the published HMTc Infant and Child Foods Standard. Every other category is forming a waitlist.
QUANTIFIED BY ICP-MS AT INDEPENDENT LABS
Every seal stands on published science.
Heavy Metal Certified is built on the Heavy Metal Index, an open research library covering contamination, remediation and toxicology across the food and supplement supply chain. Read it before you trust the mark.
