Radical transparency

Every batch. Every metal.
Every result, public.

Every Gutsies batch is tested by an independent ISO-accredited lab and certified against Heavy Metal Tested & Certified (HMTc) limits — stricter than what federal law requires for kids' supplements. Look up your jar below.

Our formulation standards

Never inside
Sugar alcohols (maltitol, sorbitol) — poorly absorbed and can irritate the gut barrier, causing the exact GI upset a gut product should prevent
Synthetic dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5) — color comes from fruit and vegetable juice only
Glucose syrup & artificial sweeteners — 2g of sugar per gummy, from real fruit
Always
Named strains on the label (e.g. Bacillus subtilis DE111®) — never a mystery "probiotic blend"
CFU counted at end of shelf life, not at manufacture — the dose on the label is the dose in month 18
Age-specific formulation — Bifidobacterium-forward for infants, fiber-forward for school-age kids

Why we test every batch

Heavy metals like lead and arsenic occur naturally in soil — which means they can end up in any food, especially products made for tiny, developing bodies. Spot-checking isn't enough.

What HMTc means

Heavy Metal Tested & Certified is an independent standard with per-serving limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury set specifically for children's products — stricter than federal requirements.

Who does the testing

Independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited labs we don't own, using ICP-MS analysis. We publish results as-is — passes and, if it ever happened, failures. Failed batches never ship.
