Ensuring Safety, Compliance, and Product Integrity
Heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury can pose serious health risks if present in large quantities in supplements, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and food & beverage products. To protect consumers, regulatory agencies, including the FDA, cGMP, and California Prop 65, enforce strict limits on heavy metal content in consumer products.
At Southern Element Labs, we use state-of-the-art Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology to provide highly sensitive and accurate testing for heavy metals. Our comprehensive analysis ensures your products are safe, compliant, and meet industry quality standards before reaching consumers.
