Health Tested is a consumer health testing platform that provides independent verification of health-related product claims through third-party laboratory analyses. The organization serves consumers, manufacturers, and healthcare professionals seeking objective data on the quality, potency, and safety of health products, including dietary supplements and related items.

Services and process: Health Tested partners with accredited laboratories to perform analyses such as ingredient verification, potency confirmation, contaminant screening for substances like heavy metals and microbiological contaminants, and label-claim verification. Clients can submit samples via mail-in kits or direct submission, and results are compiled into certificates of analysis and made available through an online portal. Reports typically describe methods used, detection limits, and reference materials.

Standards and privacy: The organization emphasizes methodological transparency and compliance with quality standards in partner labs, often aligning with international quality frameworks. Data privacy policies govern submission and result reporting, with results shared only with authorized parties. Health Tested also provides guidance to consumers on interpreting results, while noting that test outcomes are informational and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Impact and reception: Health Tested aims to increase marketplace transparency, support regulatory compliance for manufacturers, and help consumers make informed health-related choices. It has been adopted by some brands and retailers as a third-party verification service; critics caution about cost, scope, and the need for independent oversight to prevent potential conflicts of interest.
