Lab Testing & Purity

PURETREX sends finished products to an independent third-party laboratory in the UK to screen for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury by ICP-MS. This page publishes every current certificate as text: the certificate code, lab sample number, dates and each result in mg/kg, next to the GB legal maximum.

How PURETREX products are tested

  • Laboratory: an independent third-party laboratory in the UK. The laboratory has no connection to PURETREX.
  • What is measured: the four heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg).
  • Method: ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), the standard laboratory method for trace metals.
  • What each certificate shows: the certificate code, the lab sample number, the dates the sample was received and reported, and the result for each metal in mg/kg.

How the results compare with the legal limits

Great Britain sets maximum levels for contaminants in food supplements in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as it applies in GB: lead 3.0 mg/kg, cadmium 1.0 mg/kg and mercury 0.10 mg/kg. There is no specific GB maximum for arsenic in food supplements, so arsenic results are published for information. Every result on this page is below the GB maximum for that metal. A result shown as "<0.005" means the metal was below the laboratory's reporting limit.

Read the GB maximum levels on legislation.gov.uk

What this testing does not cover

These certificates are heavy-metal screens. They do not measure potency (how much of each ingredient is present) or confirm ingredient identity, and each certificate applies to the sample it names. Products not listed below do not yet have a published heavy-metal certificate.

Common questions about our testing

Who tests PURETREX supplements?

An independent third-party laboratory in the UK with no connection to PURETREX. Each certificate carries the laboratory's own certificate code, sample number and reporting date.

What do the certificates test for?

Four heavy metals: lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury, measured by ICP-MS. The certificates are heavy-metal screens only. They do not measure potency or confirm ingredient identity.

Are the results within legal limits?

Yes. Every published result is below the GB maximum level for food supplements set in Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006: lead 3.0 mg/kg, cadmium 1.0 mg/kg and mercury 0.10 mg/kg. GB law sets no specific arsenic limit for food supplements, so arsenic is published for information.

Does each certificate cover every batch?

No. Each certificate applies to the sample it names, identified by the lab sample number and sample code. We publish the most recent certificate for each product and add new certificates here when they are issued.

Can I see the original certificate?

Yes. Every result on this page links to the full certificate image exactly as the laboratory issued it, so you can check the certificate code, sample number and dates yourself.

Why is my product not listed?

Only products with a current third-party heavy-metal certificate are listed. If you would like to know the testing status of another PURETREX product, contact our team at support@puretrex.co.uk.
