Raw materials
We source every ingredient for your supplement, with a COA for each lot.
TS LAB buys the raw materials for your capsule supplement from ISO- and GMP-certified suppliers and checks each lot against its certificate of analysis before production. You agree the grades, forms and documents your formula needs. We handle the suppliers, the lots and the paperwork.
Written offer within 1 to 3 business days.
Know the material. Trace its lot records.
- COA per raw material within the sourcing service.
- Published sourcing policy: ISO- and GMP-certified suppliers.
- Material traceability and finished-batch documents scoped separately.
Certificates and scope
FDA registration is a filing, not FDA approval.
Supplier standards and product evidence
We source ingredients from ISO- and GMP-certified suppliers. Those certifications relate to the supplier. A certificate of analysis relates to the identified material and lot; your specification establishes the requirements for your order.
Material selection
Compare supplier certification and material evidence
These documents answer different questions. Use each for the decision it supports, and agree which records you receive for your product.
Supplier certification
Shows the certified scope of the supplier’s quality or manufacturing system. Check the standard, site, issuer and validity; a supplier certificate is not an analysis of your ingredient.
Your material and document list
Names the ingredient grade, material requirements and documents for your project. Agree the document issuer, format and delivery timing alongside the specification.
Check availability for your formula
Material stock can shorten procurement, but availability depends on the ingredient, grade, quantity and date. Confirm the materials required for your formula before treating a production window as available.
For repeat products, discuss material availability together with the reorder plan. A stock policy for your product needs agreed quantities and responsibilities.
Definitions
Know what the certificate of analysis actually covers
A certificate of analysis records specified test results or conformity information for the identified material or batch. Read its scope, lot reference, methods and results together. A raw-material COA does not establish the results for your finished supplement batch.

Read these together
01
Material identity
The ingredient, grade and supplier lot should identify the material used for the order.
02
Lot or batch reference
Check which raw-material lot or finished batch the document covers. These are different records and should not be treated as interchangeable.
03
Tests and specification
Check the test methods, results and acceptance limits against the specification. Confirm how the material identity relates to the ingredient declared on your label.
A material-lot document and a finished-batch document answer different questions. Agree the tests and records your order includes.
Explore the fields in a COA ↗If a retailer requests finished-product analysis, include that separately in your brief. It may require additional testing beyond the raw-material COAs.
Traceability
Connect ingredients to the finished product
Traceability links the materials used in production to the finished batch. Agree the records your product needs and how they will be supplied, including any retailer or marketplace requirements.
Answer questions about a batch
A clear lot reference helps locate the relevant material and production records when a retailer, laboratory or authority asks about your product.
Define the handover
List the traceability records required for your order, their format and delivery timing. Confirm the scope of any additional testing or reporting.
Questions
Raw material sourcing questions
Where do the raw materials come from?
We source traceable ingredients from ISO- and GMP-certified suppliers. Share the ingredient grades and quantities your formula needs, together with any origin or documentation requirements.
Do you have ISO certification yourselves?
Our ISO sourcing claim relates to suppliers. It is not an ISO certificate for TS LAB itself. Review the certificate pages for the scope of our company credentials and facility registration.
Do I get a COA for every raw material?
Yes. Raw material sourcing with a COA per material is part of the service scope. Confirm the document list, issuer, format and handover timing for your order. Finished-batch testing is a separate requirement to specify.
How many raw materials do you keep in stock?
Confirm availability by ingredient, grade and quantity in your enquiry, including any material that needs to be purchased for the order.
Can I bring my own raw material?
Send the material specification, supplier details and COA with your enquiry. Acceptance, incoming checks, storage and responsibilities must be agreed before the material is supplied.
Can you trace a finished unit back to a raw material lot?
Specify the material-to-batch records you need in your enquiry. Confirm the available traceability records and their handover as part of the order; a general traceability statement does not define a document deliverable.
