AGZ - Quality & Testing
Go ahead and relax.
From clinically studied key ingredients that support rest to rigorous third-party testing, AGZ is grounded in quality—so you can focus on your health. It’s also NSF Certified for Sport®, the gold standard in independent safety and quality testing.
NSF Certified for Sport®
AGZ is proudly NSF Certified for Sport®, one of the most rigorous independent quality and safety certification programs in the supplement industry.
NSF conducts annual audits of our manufacturing facilities, reviews ingredients for toxicology, and ensures AGZ label claims are accurate. Additionally, the organization third-party tests AGZ for over 280 banned substances.
Certificate of analysis
Each batch of AGZ is tested for a panel of quality and purity analytes, including microbial contaminants, heavy metals, allergens, and banned substances. As part of routine testing, we also test for chemical compounds like caffeine and oxalates.
The Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document that contains our testing report and the results based on safe limits and specifications.
Heavy metals
Anything that comes from the ground, including fruits, vegetables, and even drinking water, is likely to contain some heavy metals.
AGZ is tested to ensure levels of heavy metals are below the guidelines set by US Pharmacopeia (USP) and NSF International, two independent, third-party organizations that set rigorous standards for safety, quality, and compliance. USP guidelines are widely used as a regulatory standard for pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements and food ingredients. AGZ tests lower than these guidelines.
Lead
Mercury
Cadmium
Arsenic
Allergens
We do not formulate with wheat, dairy, egg, or peanut-containing ingredients. Plus, our manufacturing facilities adhere to strict allergen and validated cleaning protocols, to reduce chances of cross-contamination.
Gluten (Wheat, Rye, Barley) (<20ppm)
Milk
Egg
Peanut
Pesticides & herbicides
Chemicals used in agriculture can disrupt the gut and immune system, decreasing or blocking nutrient absorption.
Rather than relying solely on our suppliers and our rigorous internal standards, we periodically conduct additional third-party testing for pesticides and herbicides.
Glyphosate: an herbicide and commonly used weed killer in conventional farming
AMPA: a byproduct of glyphosate
Microbes & toxins
Microbial testing is crucial for ensuring AGZ is safe to drink on a nightly basis.
Harmful bacteria, including Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus.
Molds and yeasts that have been linked to immune disruption.
Microbes that can produce toxic substances like mycotoxins and aflatoxins.
Banned substances
As a product NSF Certified for Sport®, AGZ is tested for over 280 substances banned by major sporting organizations to mitigate risks of consuming contaminated, adulterated supplements.
Anabolic Agents & Beta Blockers
Beta-agonists & Diuretics
Hormone Antagonists
Masking Agents
Narcotics/Cannabinoids
Stimulants
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Metabolic Modulators
Growth Hormone Secretagogues
Residual solvents
Residual solvents are volatile chemicals that can result from processing procedures such as extraction of plant parts and purification of ingredients. While testing for residual solvents was initially developed for pharmaceuticals, as part of our program, AGZ is tested for all 3 classes of solvents, including acetone and ethanol.
Nutritional testing
AGZ tests for nutritional content to ensure that the amounts stated on the label are what you get in the product. Nutritional testing is vital to ensuring the efficacy of the formula, and that you receive what you are paying for.
Sensory experience
Developing an efficacious and great tasting multi-ingredient product is no small feat, especially without adding sugar. Taste is an obsession of ours. Every batch of AGZ undergoes a systematic evaluation of sensory characteristics like aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste. We conduct a science-based sensory testing program with a third party to ensure the consistency of the AGZ flavor.
Artificial sweeteners
Added sugar
Erythritol
MSG
FAQs
Has AGZ been tested for heavy metals?
AGZ is tested to ensure levels of heavy metals are below the guidelines set by US Pharmacopeia (USP) and NSF International, two independent, third-party organizations that set rigorous standards for safety, quality, and compliance. USP guidelines are widely used as regulatory standard for pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements and food ingredients. AGZ tests significantly lower than these guidelines.
