That means I can dump woodchips into capsules and sell them as Multivitamins with 12 vitamins & minerals, and nobody would be the wiser.
There is more rigorous testing being done in underground steroid + peptide communities than in legal nutritional supplements.
Crazy world where you can trust vialed peptides from China more than something you bought on Amazon...
- lilouartz 9mo agoThat's true. US is a wild wild west in that regard. However, I am working next to clearly label which supplements have COA vs which are unverified.

The suggested serving size on every brand I've seen is about 5 cups for a 70lb dog, whereas my dog gains weight on more than one cup. At least the "grain free" labels appear to be accurate.
