How do you know what’s really in your supplement?

The truth about third-party testing, and why so many brands don’t do it. 

Hey JOLTers,

Let’s talk about trust. Not the “I’ll hold your drink while you go to the loo” kind of trust. We mean the kind that actually matters when it comes to what you put in your body every. single. day.

Because here’s the not-so-fun truth, the supplement world is kind of like the Wild West. Flashy claims. Buzzwords. Gorgeous branding. But when you scratch beneath the surface? Not everything is what it seems.

So today, we’re getting into something that sounds a little technical, but is the most important thing you should know if you’re looking into supplements: third-party testing.

Let’s break it down.

What even is third-party testing?

Imagine this. You’re buying a protein bar that says it’s packed with 20g of protein. But when tested, it actually has… 5g. That would be outrageous, right?

Well, that kind of thing happens all the time in the supplement world. Not cool. And not just with protein bars. With everything. Including the stuff you’re taking to slow ageing, support your brain, and optimise your body.

Third-party testing means that an independent lab (i.e. not the brand, not the manufacturer, not anyone with a horse in the race) checks that what’s in the bottle matches what’s on the label, and goes yep, that’s the s***.

It’s how you know:

  • You're not just paying for hype
  • The ingredients actually exist (yes, really)
  • The dose is accurate
  • You’re not getting a side of heavy metals, fillers, or nonsense

So, what’s the problem?

Honestly? Most companies don’t bother. Or worse, they fake it. *passes away*

They test one ingredient once, flash a fancy certificate on their homepage, and then mass-produce batches that never see a lab again. Sometimes, the ingredient tested isn’t even the one they end up using. (We know. Gross.)

In fact, a recent study on NR supplements (a hot ingredient in the anti-ageing world) found that 87% of them didn’t contain what they said they did. Some had none. Zero. Zilch.

Still feeling confident in that “Amazon’s Choice” label? No, neither. 

What do we do differently? And the receipts to prove it. 

We don’t just talk about quality. We prove it.

Every single ingredient in JOLT is third-party tested. Every. One. Of. Them. Before they even get near a capsule, they go through independent labs that verify their purity, safety, and dosage.

No mystery ingredients. No dodgy certificates. No "trust us, bro."

Just full transparency. Science-backed formulations. And results you can actually feel. If you’re staying wary, of course we brought the receipts, here are our certificates of analysis.  https://www.joltmyworld.com/pages/certification

Why we care so much

Because you’re not just buying a supplement. You’re buying a commitment, to your health, to your future self, and to a brand that genuinely gives a damn.

It’s why our ingredients cost more. Why we work with reputable suppliers. Why we don’t do flash discounts or sales. And why we’ll never put anything in JOLT that we wouldn’t give to our own families.

Ageing well isn’t about a magic pill. That’s why we always say that JOLT isn’t your substitute for a healthy lifestyle, and you can’t expect to see great results when you pop your capsule on top of a Big Mac and a full fat coke. We supercharge everything you are already doing for your health. Imagine us as the cherry on the top. 

In a nutshell:

There are plenty of companies selling hype in a capsule. We sell the real thing. Tested, verified, pure, and clinically backed, because when it comes to your health, half measures and shady labels just don’t cut it.

Stay sceptical, The JOLT Team.
