How to read these numbers. A brand posts a lab report when a report for its product is on its site for anyone to read. Reports sent only on request, and claims of testing in page copy or badges, do not count. We read each brand's own site on 25 September 2026 and did not test any product. This bulletin describes what brands publish, not what their products do, and names no brand.
What brands publish about testing
Source: each brand's product, quality, FAQ and policy pages, read on 25 September 2026. Each brand is counted once, in the first row that applies. Counts are in testing-disclosure.csv.
| Category | Brands | Post current lab reports | Post one old or sample report | Post no lab report |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ketone drinks and supplements | 9 | 0 | 0 | 9 |
| Vitamin and supplement patches | 10 | 0 | 0 | 10 |
| C60 oil | 5 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| All three | 24 | 1 | 1 | 22 |
Lab reports are rare in all three categories. None of the 9 ketone brands and none of the 10 patch brands post one. Two of the 5 C60 oil brands do: one posts lot-numbered reports that include heavy metals and microbial tests, and one posts a single comparison test from 2016. Three brands, 2 of them ketone brands, share reports only when a buyer asks.
The gap between claims and documents is wider. Seven brands put "third-party tested", "lab tested" or a reference to their certificate of analysis on their pages or product images with no report on the site. In one case the product image points to a certificate of analysis that appears nowhere on the site.
Labels and pages that disagree
| Check | Brands | Brands checked |
|---|---|---|
| Posts a lab report for its product (current or sample) | 2 | 24 |
| Shares lab reports only on request | 3 | 24 |
| Advertises testing or a certificate of analysis with no document posted | 7 | 24 |
| Prints a label that disagrees with its own page text or its own lab report | 8 | 24 |
| Prints label amounts that are not the product's own content or do not add up | 2 | 24 |
| Promises a money-back or satisfaction guarantee that its written policy narrows | 5 | 24 |
| Says its patches are not dietary supplements, or uses a cosmetics disclaimer | 2 | 24 |
Eight brands print a label that disagrees with their own site. The cases include a ketone amount on the homepage that is higher than the flagship's label, a page that calls a patch caffeine-free while its label lists guarana and green tea extract, and an ingredient amount that differs by a factor of ten between label and product page. Two patch brands print amounts that are not the patch's own content, such as figures stated as pill equivalents.
Certifications
| Check | Brands |
|---|---|
| Prints a sport or drug-free certification | 4 |
| Names the certification program | 3 |
| The program's own database lists the exact flagship product | 2 |
| The database lists other flavors of the same line but not the flagship | 1 |
Only ketone brands print a sport or drug-free certification. Three name the program. When we looked the flagship up in each program's own database, 2 were listed by name, and the third was listed in other flavors of the same line but not in the flavor the brand features first. The fourth brand says its product is certified drug free without naming who certified it.
Patch labels
| Label format | Patch brands |
|---|---|
| Supplement Facts panel | 3 |
| "Nutritional Facts" panel | 1 |
| Ingredient list, no facts panel | 6 |
Patches present themselves in three ways. Three brands print a Supplement Facts panel, one prints a "Nutritional Facts" panel, and 6 print an ingredient list with no facts panel. Two say on their sites that their patches are not dietary supplements or use the disclaimer written for cosmetics.
What a serving costs
Source: each brand's own store, read on 25 September 2026. One-time price of the smallest standard pack of the brand's flagship product, divided by the servings on its label. Ranges are in price-per-serving.csv.
| Category | Brands with serving price | Lowest usd | Median usd | Highest usd |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ketone drinks and supplements | 9 | 2.00 | 4.99 | 39.00 |
| Vitamin and supplement patches | 10 | 0.50 | 0.97 | 6.74 |
| C60 oil | 3 | 2.70 | 3.21 | 5.65 |
Ketone drinks run from $2.00 to $39.00 a serving across 9 brands, a median of $4.99. Patches run from $0.50 to $6.74 across 10 brands, a median of $0.97. Three C60 oil brands print a serving size, and their price per serving runs from $2.70 to $5.65.
Returns and guarantees
| Return window | Brands |
|---|---|
| 30 days | 14 |
| More than 30 days | 3 |
| Under 30 days | 2 |
| Final sale | 1 |
| Not stated | 4 |
Fourteen brands state a 30-day return window, 3 allow longer and 2 allow less. Five promise a money-back or satisfaction guarantee on a product page while their written policy accepts only unopened products, gives store credit for opened ones or limits refunds to first orders.
Method
Sources. Each brand's flagship product page, its label or Supplement Facts image, its quality, testing and certification pages, FAQ and refund policy, read on 25 September 2026. Certification claims were checked in the certification program's own public database where one could be reached. Label images were read with on-device text recognition and key figures were checked by eye.
Sample. Seventeen brands from a starting list of brands named in buyer discussions and AI assistant answers, and more found through web searches on 25 September 2026, up to 5 per category. Two brands whose stores were not working are left out, and two domains that belong to one company are counted once. That leaves 24 brands: 9 ketone drink and supplement brands, 10 patch brands and 5 C60 oil brands.
Definitions.
- The flagship is the product the brand's own site ranks first: a best-seller badge, the first item in a best-seller block, the homepage hero or the first item in the brand's product menu.
- A lab report is posted when a report for the brand's product can be read on its site. Current reports are lot-numbered reports for successive batches. A sample report is a single old or example report not tied to current batches.
- Price per serving is the one-time price of the smallest standard pack of the flagship, before coupon codes, divided by the servings on its label.
- A guarantee is narrowed when a product page promises a money-back or satisfaction guarantee and the written policy limits it.
Exclusions. Marketplace listings were used only to find brands. Brands selling only outside the US in foreign currency were left out.
Names. This bulletin reports totals and names no brand.
Known limits. Categories are small, and the C60 oil price comparison rests on 3 brands. We did not request reports that are offered on request.
Data
Each CSV holds the counts behind one table or exhibit. Brand-level records are not published.
- Testing disclosure Brands by what they publish about testing: a lab report, reports on request, testing claims with no document, a sport certification only, or nothing. Each brand is counted once.
- Lab reports by category For each category and all three together: brands, and brands posting current lab reports, a single old or sample report, or none.
- Page, label and policy checks Brands with each finding: lab report posted, reports on request, testing claims with no document, labels that disagree with the brand's own page or report, label amounts that are not the product's own content, guarantees that the written policy narrows, and patch brands that say their patches are not dietary supplements.
- Sport and drug-free certifications Brands that print a certification, that name the program, and whether the program's own database lists the exact flagship product.
- Patch label formats Patch brands by the kind of label they print: a Supplement Facts panel, a Nutritional Facts panel, or an ingredient list only.
- Price per serving For each category: brands with a serving price, and the lowest, median and highest price per serving in US dollars.
- Return windows Brands by the longest return window their written policy allows.
