Trust your results are coming from an accredited lab, recognized as the standard in quality by FDA, USDA, and international regulators.
What’s in our Nutrient Density Analysis?
Up to 80 additional tests, depending on food type
Note that this will change depending on the food type: whenever you can safely assume there’s zero or trace amounts of something in a food, we may not test for it. This brings testing costs down for those foods.
Up to 80 tests, depending on food type
Your analysis changes depending on the food type, which brings costs down for some foods.

Frequently asked questions
How do you determine what is tested?
Our expert science team designed our tests to target the nutrients that are likely to be present in a given food, while striking a balance between low-cost testing and a "nutrient density" profile that represents a holistic overview of most foods. Some nutrients are omitted due to cost. For example, Vitamin K analysis is notoriously time-consuming, and including it would increase the cost of our standard test by over $1,000. However, it's available as an optional add-on—see our catalog for Vitamin K details and other available add-ons.
Can I subscribe with one food, but only test others one time?
Sure! Our pricing is designed to be very flexible—subscribe to analysis for any foods/products you wish to test yearly to maintain your up-to-date public listings. For any foods that you'll test less frequently, you can choose one-time analysis.
Can I order more than one Nutrient Density Analysis?
Sure! You’re free to order as many as you’d like for different foods, or even to add samples to the same food at a different point in time. Also check out our Volume Pricing if you want to order more analysis.
Do I need to send the required number of samples?
We require that number as a minimum to onboard your initial analysis with us
How should I collect samples (to represent variability)?
You may wish to send 3 samples from different points in time, from different producers, fields, production methods, input treatments, etc. You’ve got a lot of options—talk to our team about what you’re trying to achieve. We just need to receive the samples together, and they need to be of the same food type.
Can I add additional tests?
Yes! You can add any additional tests from our catalog for an additional fee.
What if I want to test more samples?
See this page for additional pricing options.
How can you offer prices this low compared to the industry?
Our lab batches samples of the same food type, and focuses on offering high-throughput of the above standard panel of analysis. That’s why the above Nutrient Density Analysis is discounted compared to other specific tests.
Is your lab accredited?
Yes, we’re ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by ANAB.
How do I get my samples to you?
Our customer success team will give you detailed instructions based on your food type. Note that prices here do not include the cost of shipping to our lab.
Are my results private?
Your results are completely private to you unless you choose otherwise.
