Our Brave Standards - Testing Process

There’s an increasing need for high-quality supplementation and nutritionally-supportive products, allowing consumers to take charge of their health. But, when bombarded with supplement recommendations, diets and wellness protocols, it can be tricky to cut through the noise, and understand the right choice for our unique and brilliant bodies. 

In the world of supplementation, many are simply not transparent about where their ingredients come from and the quality of their product, nor do they put this to the test. Third party testing is an essential part of transparency to ensure safety, support health claims and ultimately protect the consumer.

With the rise of misinformation in wellness, especially on social media, we believe it is as important as ever that companies like us,  take accountability to educate and support their community. Nutritional science is constantly evolving and the available insights can be a minefield - therefore, underpinning products with strong evidence, third party testing, and high-quality ingredients that provide beneficial results is vital. 

At Ancient + Brave, we believe that trust is earned, and we do this through transparency and integrity. That’s why we go above and beyond with every product, rigorously testing for purity, potency, and safety. At every step, from our raw ingredients to the final product, we go beyond industry standards, redefining what gold-standard testing truly means. We believe in staying true to our commitment of blending ancient wisdom and brave science.

Independent third-party laboratories regularly validate our products, ensuring that what’s on the label is what’s in the product. We test to ensure there are no contaminants and the results are safe. As ‘third-party’, these laboratories are external to Ancient + Brave, meaning we cannot influence the results. This isn’t just about meeting regulations, it’s about redefining what quality means in the supplement space.

We have created our own testing standards that evaluate our products for everything from heavy metals and microbes to bioactive compounds, ensuring that every formula delivers the safety, quality and effectiveness you expect. This includes testing for antibiotics and hormones in our collagen, EGCG and caffeine in our Brave blends, and investing in stability testing for our products efficacy and shelf life. We are always on the look out for new tests, investing in science to guide our decisions and keeping up with the latest innovations to ensure we keep to our mission. We are always open to ideas, aiming to keep curious and continuously learn to do our best.

In a time where choice in the wellness industry can feel overwhelming, we’re here to offer clarity. Backed by science and driven by a deep respect for your health, we promise to deliver products you can trust. Our testing process ensures you know exactly what you’re putting into your body, that it's high-quality and supportive of your health. Our commitment to testing is more than a promise, it’s an Ancient + Brave practice.
