Will public lab testing become the new standard for supplement brands?

In this episode, Chand Makwana, founder and Managing Director of Solvara, offers a supply-chain perspective on one of the supplement industry’s biggest problems: how consumers can verify that a product contains what its label claims.

The discussion examines the limits of regulatory oversight, the difference between a testing claim and a published batch report, and why independent verification may become an increasingly important competitive advantage. It also considers the limits of transparency, including why a certificate of analysis does not automatically prove clinical effectiveness or guarantee consistent manufacturing.
