Quality & Transparency: Our Lab Results (COAs)

At our core, we believe you should know exactly what you are consuming. Transparency isn't just a buzzword for us—it’s a commitment to safety, potency, and purity.

Every single harvest we produce undergoes rigorous third-party testing at accredited South African laboratories. The results are published here as Certificates of Analysis (COAs).

​

What is a COA?

A Certificate of Analysis is a verified document that outlines the chemical makeup of a product. It serves as your guarantee that what is on the label matches what is in the box.

​

Our testing suite includes:

  • Alkaloid Profiling (HPLC): A detailed breakdown of the "Big Four" alkaloids: Mesembrine, Mesembrenone, Mesembrenol, and Mesembranol.

  • Total Alkaloid Content: Verification of the total percentage of active alkaloids by weight.

  • Safety Screening: Ensuring the raw material is free from heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Arsenic) and residual agrochemicals.

  • Microbial Analysis: Comprehensive testing for aerobic plate count, yeast, mold, and pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.

  • Identification: Verification that the species is indeed Sceletium tortuosum via HPTLC or macroscopic analysis.

Understanding the Results

  • Mesembrine: Often the primary alkaloid sought for its specific uplifting and serotonin-modulating properties.

  • Mesembrenone: Typically the second most abundant alkaloid, known for its balanced profile.

  • Standardised Extract: A product that has been processed to guarantee a consistent percentage of alkaloids in every dose.
