Why Third-Party Tested Supplements Matter and How BareBones
Does It Right
What Does Third-Party Tested Mean?
Third-party testing means the product is sent to an independent lab (not the manufacturer) to confirm what's actually in it. This ensures the supplement is clean, safe, and contains exactly what the label says.
Why It Matters
Most supplement companies skip this step. That means:
- You could be getting less than the listed dose
- You could be ingesting contaminants like heavy metals or bacteria
- You are trusting marketing instead of science
BareBones doesn't play that game.
We use third-party testing to confirm purity, safety, and dosing. Our creatine is tested for total bacteria count,
yeast and mold, and harmful microbes like E. coli and Salmonella.
What We Test For (With Real Results)
Our creatine was tested by Daane Labs and passed with results cleaner than most industry standards:
- Total bacteria: 400 CFU/g (industry limit: 10,000)
- Yeast & mold: <100 CFU/g (industry limit: 1,000)
- E. coli, Salmonella, and Staph: Zero detected
That is the kind of transparency we believe should be normal, not rare.
Why Most Brands Skip It
Testing takes time and money. Brands that care about profit margins more than people avoid it.
We're not one of those brands.
Even if it costs more, we will always verify what goes in your body. Because we take this personally.
The BareBones Standard
Third-party tested. Results available. No hidden ingredients.
That's our standard. Every batch. Every time.
