Multi-residue pesticide analysis for herbal supplements, adaptogens, and mushroom extracts. 200+ analytes by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS with EU MRL and Prop 65 reporting.
Botanicals sourced from overseas often originate in regions with fewer pesticide regulations and higher application rates.
Ashwagandha, turmeric, rhodiola, and similar adaptogens are typically imported from India, China, or Eastern Europe.
Functional mushroom products (lion's mane, reishi, chaga) may carry agricultural chemical residues from cultivation.
EU MRL limits are often 10–100x stricter than US thresholds. Testing for EU compliance requires the full panel.
Major natural retailers require pesticide COAs for botanical SKUs. Our reports meet their format requirements.
