COA For Dialed-IN & How to Interpret

Here is what most brands don't do: make their Certificate of Analysis public.

A COA is a third-party lab report that verifies purity, potency, and safety.

Even if you email their customer service, they'll hit you with the: 

"Thanks for your email!

Happy to help - however, we don't provide COA's for every single ingredient of XXX company (blah.........)

Thanks!" 

And when you follow up to ask for lead levels, because you care about your health, their customer service may redirect you back to their ingredient list. In our experience reaching out to multiple brands, COAs are usually not provided unless requested — and even then, it still may be "gatekept". This is standard in the industry, and there are no laws requiring public COA disclosure.

We've had enough. These things should be transparent, especially when California law requires supplement companies to put a prop65 warning due to lead levels from botanical ingredients like lion's mane. Just disclose it so we know what we are putting in our bodies, 

So here it is, our full Certificate of Analysis, public, no games, no hidden files.

Here is how to interpret:

1. First, the thing everyone worries about: Lead levels.

The heavy metals section shows:

• Lead: <0.085 ppm
• California’s Prop 65 threshold is 0.5 ppm
• FDA limit is up to 2.0 ppm

Study Supps is 6× under the Prop 65 threshold and over 20× under FDA limits.

This is extremely clean. Especially for a formula that includes natural plant extracts like lion’s mane, ginseng, and bacopa (all of which absorb minerals from soil the same way vegetables do).

First, let's compare it to energy drinks. Feel free to do your own research! 

We can’t name names here, but independent lab tests often show 0.1–0.3 ppm in popular energy drinks. The serving sizes are huge (250–500mL), meaning higher total microgram intake compared to a small 10g scoop of Study Supps.

Let's also compare it to food we eat on a daily basis (for some): 

Item	Serving Size	Lead Level (ppm)	Lead per Serving (µg)
Study Supps	10g (0.35 oz)	<0.085 ppm	<0.85 µg
Rice	158g (1 cup cooked)	0.1–0.4 ppm	15.8–63.2 µg
Mixed Nuts	28g (1 oz)	0.1–0.3 ppm	2.8–8.4 µg
Chocolate	40g (1 bar)	0.1–0.8 ppm	4–32 µg
Leafy Greens	85g (3 oz)	0.1–0.3 ppm	8.5–25.5 µg

 

Ok, pretty clean. what about Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury, aren't those lethal?

Here are those heavy metals compared to food we consume.

Heavy Metal	Study Supps	Rice	Nuts	Chocolate	Leafy Greens
Arsenic	0.011 ppm	0.1–0.4 ppm	0.05–0.2 ppm	0.03–0.1 ppm	0.1–0.3 ppm
Cadmium	0.022 ppm	0.02–0.2 ppm	0.05–0.3 ppm	0.1–0.8 ppm	0.05–0.5 ppm
Mercury	0.005 ppm	<0.01 ppm	<0.01 ppm	<0.01 ppm	<0.01 ppm

Let's even compare it to matcha, a popular choice for study drinks:

Heavy Metal	Matcha (ppm)	Study Supps (ppm)
Arsenic	0.1–0.5 ppm	0.011 ppm
Cadmium	0.02–0.1 ppm	0.022 ppm
Mercury	<0.01 ppm	0.005 ppm
Lead	0.2–0.8 ppm	0.085 ppm

- Data from lab and consumer reports. Look it up: Consumer Reports: “Lead and Heavy Metals Found in Tea” (CR Investigation). & “Total Diet Study Analytical Results: Food and Element Concentrations” & “Tea Leaves as Bioaccumulators of Heavy Metals.”

The truth is: Any food grown in soil contains trace minerals - that includes vegetables, rice, nuts, chocolate, tea, and every botanical extract in the world.

What matters is whether levels are within safe limits. 

If you still have doubts, try putting our COA into any AI tools you use! 

2. Ingredient Accuracy (Everything Says “Complies”)

Every ingredient you see on our label — Cognizin®, Alpha GPC, Lion’s Mane, Bacopa, L-Theanine, etc. — is listed in the COA with:

Amount per serving → Required minimum → Result: "Complies"

That means the product is dosed exactly as we claim. No underdosing. No fairy dusting.
Most companies won’t show you this because the truth is… a lot of them underdose.

3. Microbial Safety

• The “Microbiological” section shows:
• Total bacteria extremely low
• Mold and yeast extremely low
• E. coli: Absent
• Salmonella: Absent
• Staph aureus: Absent

In other words: safe, clean, no contamination.

And that’s it.

If heavy metals were the thing stopping you from trying Study Supps…
now you see the truth: a scoop of our focus drink has less than the foods you eat every single day, large beverage products, and even matcha. 

You made it all the way down here, so here’s something for you that other people don't get:
