The Science

What's actually
in the bottle.

Every batch independently tested. Every ingredient traced to a documented supplier. Every report published with the batch number on your pouch.

THE PRINCIPLE

A reefer should know what's in their tank.

Batch-level lab reports are virtually unheard of in this category. Most brands ask you to trust the label. We assume you won't.

So we publish the data. Every batch. Heavy metals, elemental composition, supplier COAs. Scan the QR on your pouch — every lot number opens its full report.

THE RECEIPTS

Independent ICP-OES analysis.
Every batch. By a third party.

Every Core+ SKU goes to Reef Labs, Inc. before it leaves Hialeah. Heavy metals panel below. Tap a tab to see each batch.

Every ingredient is named here. Every supplier and batch number, documented. Additional COAs added as they arrive. The exact V5.9 ratios, however, are proprietary — like the formula behind any chemistry worth trusting.

THE PARTNERSHIP

Validated by an independent ICP-OES lab the reef community trusts.

BioForge sends every production batch to Reef Labs, Inc. — the independent ICP-OES facility used by serious reefkeepers worldwide for tank water analysis.

We're a customer of theirs, just like you. No paid endorsement. No marketing arrangement. They run our samples, send results, and we publish whatever comes back.
