⚠ 4 red flags

  • The report is dated 2 Jun 2025 (about 17 months old on 22 Oct 2026) and passes 18 months in Dec 2026; the certificate image still describes it as the current batch.
  • The Eurofins certificate is posted as a JPEG on the brand’s own forum with a PlantPills banner added, not as a PDF.
  • The sample was supplied by the brand and is described only by batch (YA-AD-03); the certificate does not say whether it was powder or tablets.
  • PAHs and microcystins were not measured in the report (the EU sets PAH limits for food supplements containing spirulina; there is no legal limit for microcystins).
