Supplement Testing and Stability Labs Compared

7 testing and stability laboratories compared by Amazon TIC status, ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, testing services, and capabilities. 5 of 7 labs are Amazon-approved TIC providers. Organized alphabetically. This is not a ranking.

How to read this page. Each row presents factual, publicly available information about a testing laboratory. “Amazon TIC” indicates whether the lab is on Amazon's approved list of Testing, Inspection, and Certification providers for dietary supplement cGMP verification. ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for laboratory competence. Accreditation status indicates whether we confirmed the credential through an independent database (confirmed) or are reporting the lab's own claim (self-reported). Read our full comparison method →

Selling supplements on Amazon? Since 2025, Amazon requires all dietary supplement sellers to verify cGMP compliance through an approved TIC provider. 5 of the 7 labs on this page are Amazon-approved, which means they can handle both your product testing and Amazon compliance verification in one step. Labs not on the approved list can still test your products, but you will need a separate TIC verification. Read our Amazon compliance guide →

What This Comparison Shows

Amazon TIC status

5 of 7 labs are on Amazon's approved list for dietary supplement cGMP verification. This matters because Amazon requires all supplement sellers to work with an approved TIC provider. If your lab is already on the list, you avoid the extra step (and cost) of a separate verification.

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for testing laboratory competence. It confirms the lab follows validated test methods and maintains quality management systems. All 7 labs in this comparison list ISO 17025, though not all are independently confirmed. “Confirmed” means we found the accreditation in an independent database (A2LA, SCC, or ANAB registries). “Self-reported” means the lab claims the accreditation but we could not independently verify it at the time of review.

Testing services

Core supplement testing services include identity testing, potency (active ingredient quantification), heavy metals analysis, microbial testing, and stability studies. Some labs also offer specialized services like pesticide residue screening, allergen testing, banned substance testing, DNA testing for botanicals, and shelf-life prediction models.

What we could not verify

Common gaps include: standard turnaround times, pricing structures, specific test method lists (USP, AOAC, etc.), and sample submission requirements. Some labs serve multiple industries, and their supplement-specific capabilities may not be fully detailed on their public websites.

What This Comparison Does Not Show

  • Test accuracy or reliability. Lab performance requires proficiency testing results and accreditation body audits to evaluate.
  • Pricing. Testing costs vary by method, sample type, turnaround time, and volume. Request quotes directly.
  • Customer experience or communication quality. We do not collect or publish subjective reviews.
  • All available testing labs. Many qualified laboratories are not yet in our directory.
