The Now Foods Study Paper:

• In 2017, NOW spearheaded an industry self-policing program of testing new and unfamiliar supplement brands found on Amazon.
• Using both internal and external labs including Eurofins, researchers compare results to the packaging claims on supplement and vitamin bottles.
• In the most recent round of testing, NOW Foods uncovered brands featured on Amazon with mis-represented ingredients and dosages for Coenzyme Q10 (also known as CoQ10) and quercetin.
• NOW Foods said “Serious problems” remain for seven out of the eight brands tested. They also noted that brands are “cheating by mis-representing potencies through deceptive labeling tricks.”
• This is what NOW Foods uncovered with regard to deceptive practices; Clear Formulas, aSquared Nutrition, Foxy Doc, and Healthy Way all mislabel their product as “400mg/6%” potency.
• NOW Foods stated: “This is deceptive when the front panel says ‘400mg’ potency and the Amazon title says ‘CoQ10 400mg Max Strength.’ The customer gets less than 24mg of CoQ10 per capsule.”
A variety of CoQ10 brands on Amazon were tested by NOW Foods in 2017, 2018 and 2020 with similar failing results.
• NOW Foods also reported that with regard to deceptive labeling, aSquared, Healthy Way, NasaBe’Ahava and We Like Vitamins were also ALL under 35% potency in 2020.
NOW Foods said “Perhaps most alarming was that “three of the eight brands claimed to be in vegetarian capsules, but testing both at the NOW Foods Lab and at Eurofins confirmed gelatin was used. The failing brands with regard to fake vegetarian capsules were Clear Formulas, Healthy Way and Sundhed.”
The quercetin results
• 20 out of 24 brands tested below the 90% label potency claim.
• 14 out of 24 brands tested with less than 50% of labeled potency.
• 2 out of 24 brands tested used lower cost gelatin capsules when the labels declared vegetarian/cellulose, this deceptive practice was carried out by Doublewood Supplements and NasaBe’Ahava
Two brands labeled Quercetin, both stated “18% potency,” which NOW Foods said is the same deceptive trick seen with CoQ10.
• NasaBe’Ahava “is a repeat violator,” NOW Foods said, labeling Quercetin as “Each capsule contains 500mg Quercetin Di-hydrate (20% potency).” and
• Cadane mislabels as 100mg Quercetin 10:1 extract, equivalent to 1000mg, but testing showed it to be “one of the very worst for potency results with only 4% of claim.”

Dan Richard, NOW Foods Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing said “NOW has reported these findings to Amazon directly, as we did previously, but the problem products continue to be sold, and often as a ‘Sponsored’ (paid marketing) featured products.
NOW plans to send a copy of this report to Amazon, the NPA trade group, the FDA, and the FTC. Low-potency brands do harm to consumers everywhere, as well as to honest businesses that make and sell quality products.”

Health supplements are not controlled by the FDA etc. and disreputable companies know that, so it is up to reputable companies like Renue by Science to lead the way with their own 3rd Party Testing, as far as I am aware only Renue by Science 3rd Party test ALL their supplements
