Nobody tests the supplements you take. So I do.

Why I started Logan Talks Health

I started Logan Talks Health because it's time someone in my industry speaks out on the bullshit that's happening. Consumers have NO idea what they are taking, and it's time they did.

99% of supplement brands are set up to extract as much profit as possible, without a care in the world about whether the thing you're putting in your body actually does anything or contains what it says on the label.

I've been in the industry since 2021, and before that, I worked next door but one to the industry since 2018.

I've seen some horrifying lab work over the years. Stuff I should have shared at the time but didn't, because I was afraid of being sued. Stuff that I am now sharing with the world, despite the legal risks that come with it.

Most of the supplement industry is made up of marketers who are good at selling. So they get into the industry and do what they are good at. Selling. But they don't give an F about what they are selling, or even know anything about it most of the time.

They buy "beetroot" or whatever active from whoever will sell it at the lowest price and get it put into capsules. They don't verify that it's actually beetroot, or that it's a good quantity, and they usually don't even see it.

So here's what I am doing about it.

Each month, I spend tens of thousands of pounds buying products off the shelf, sending them to accredited third-party labs, and publishing the results whether they're good, bad, or embarrassing for the brand.

Before you ask…

The honest answer is that the only reason I am able to do what I do and know this much about the industry, lab testing, label claims, under-dosing, and the tricks some brands use is that I'm in the industry. I've seen how it works from the inside.

That's like saying that you can't trust a whistleblower… Nobody blows the whistle from the outside. You have to have been in the room to know what's going on.

So yes, I own a supplement brand. We third-party test every batch before it goes out to customers. We want to do things properly. We spend tens of thousands each month testing ingredients to prove that what's on the label is in the capsules. That's why we have so few products. It takes a lot of time to find legit ingredients. And costs a lot to verify that they are legit.

So take the information or leave it. Buy from a brand that tests, or don't. Trust nothing and nobody but lab work. Don't trust my lab work? Fair enough. Verify for yourself. Send our stuff to a lab. I haven't found another brand that does the level of testing we do.

I am not "knocking" other brands. I hire the best labs in the world to test them and share the results. I publish both good and bad results. They are only knocked if they sell crap stuff.

And if you think I can afford to bribe accredited labs, labs that cost millions to set up, into risking their reputation, accreditation and legal consequences just to fake a few reports for me, then I really don't know what to tell you.

I invite anyone to verify my work. Send my supplements, or any other brand's supplements, to an independent lab and check the results for yourself. I am 100% confident because every batch that has left my manufacturing facility has already been tested.

That's the standard every supplement brand should meet. Testing should be more commonplace, and I am hoping my content will push the industry in that direction.

Why am I doing this?

In 30 years, there will hopefully be many natural compounds with real research behind them. Enough research on them to hopefully have a place in medicine. Hard to believe, I know. But it's possible. But it won't happen without quality.

Let's say scientists do a study on berberine. It's not the easiest thing to source at a good specification. Scientists are busy running a study, doing all the paperwork and ethics approvals they need… They get their berberine and run the study. Didn't have any effect.

They publish a research paper that says a plant did nothing. But they didn't even verify if the PLANT IS WHAT THEY THINK IT IS!! Or it did, but it was not berberine; it was something else. Now we think berberine does something it may not.

If they do not verify it's real data before running the study, that could happen. This does still happen. I talked to a real scientist on a podcast who warned me about this. They'll run a study but have no idea about the chemistry of the plant they are researching.

That could have very different results in scientific research. So we will never get the consistent research we need to see natural ingredients in mainstream medicine until the quality problem is solved.

How I do it

I buy stuff anonymously from brands and ship them to labs.

I often use multiple labs and test multiple batches, as labs can get things wrong. I have a detailed process to make sure if they do, I find out.

I then conduct a full investigation and publish the results on YouTube for all to see.
