Batch Tested

In sports nutrition, batch testing refers to the process of testing and analysing specific batches, or lots of nutritional supplements or products, to ensure their quality, safety and compliance with regulations. Ensure you're competition ready with premium-quality batch tested goods and nutrition! 

This practice involves taking samples from a particular batch and subjecting them to various tests.
Including, but not limited to, ingredient verification, purity checks, contamination screening (such as testing for banned substances or allergens) and potency assessments.
