5 Overview
iTested is iHerb's testing program where products are tested by independent third-party labs (primarily Eurofins) for identity, potency, and selected contaminants [1]. The key differentiator: Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are published directly on each product page — consumers can download and review the actual lab report. This transparency is rare in the supplement industry. However, iTested is operated by a RETAILER (iHerb), not an independent certification body — products are selected by iHerb, and the scope of testing varies by product category [1]. Despite this, the public COA availability makes iTested one of the most consumer-accessible quality programs.
