How to read this
- mcg means microgram, one millionth of a gram.
- "Under" means below the smallest amount the test can measure.
- Results are for the sample the lab tested.
What the lab is accredited for
The heavy metal and germ tests are inside the lab's ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. The ingredient amount tests are not. We'd rather tell you than let you assume.
