No secret here, Randy, and nothing jacked. We buy certain products, including the nasal drops, through Soma's wholesale program, and Soma provides the certificate for the product they supply. That certificate is the one published on the product page, in the open, same as every other report on the site. A wholesale supplier providing the COA for its own product is how wholesale works. That is a nothing burger, not a scandal.

Randy, that is the part you have wrong, and it is easy to check. The Collective is ours. The Collective by Blackline Scientific is our partner program, and thecollectiveblackline.com is our domain. A certificate naming The Collective is naming our own program, not some outside company. The one certificate under a distributor's own separate name is the HCG report under Lab Rats, and it is published in full on the product page. Nothing about any of this is hidden. It is all on the site for anyone to read.

Randy, perspective matters here. Out of 62 products on our site, two certificates carry a distributor name in the client field, and both reports are published in full on the product pages for anyone to read. That is transparency, not the opposite of it. Every batch is tested by Freedom Diagnostics, an independent lab, and the published certificate covers the batch identified by the vial cap color. You are taking two published reports out of 62 products and building a story that we hide where our testing comes from. We post it. Read the reports and judge what they show.

That one is the HCG certificate, Randy. Lab Rats is our wholesale distributor, and that batch came through them, so the testing was run under their name. It is the only certificate on the site that names them as the client, and the lab on the report is BioRegen. The full report is published on the product page, result and all, for anyone to read. That is the opposite of hiding it.

Thanks for flagging it, Randy. Straight answer: every batch we sell is third party tested by Freedom Diagnostics, and the certificate for that batch is published on the product page. Our Austin distributor submits batches for testing, which is why some reports name The Collective as the client. The vial cap color matches the batch, and the published certificate covers that batch. Where a page is still showing an SDS while its batch certificate is being added, that gap is ours and it is being fixed. You can review the site and the published reports here: thecollectiveblackline.com. Judge us by the proof.

This is the post I wish more buyers read before their first order. The pattern in every bad experience here is the same: no published proof, just trust me. Whatever vendor you land on, read the actual certificate for the batch you are buying before you pay. If they will not show it, that is your answer.

I run Blackline Scientific, and Freedom tests every batch we sell, so I read this thread closely. If a report is wrong, post the full report and the batch it belongs to so it can be checked line by line. That is fair game and it should be. What I can say from our side is that every certificate for our products is published on the product page for anyone to read before ordering, and when a question comes up we answer it in the open. Testing only means something when the reports stay public and anyone can question them.

Respect for saying this out loud. Most vendors treat testing as a marketing line. It is the whole product. Publish every result, good or bad, and let people read the actual reports before they spend a dollar. That is the standard we hold ourselves to at Blackline, and the more vendors who meet it, the better this whole space gets.
