In other words, these organic bone broth products were found to be clear of over 40,000 chemicals covered in our mass spec lab tests. This testing was just completed on:
- Left Coast Organic Grass-Fed Bone Broth Powder
- Ancient Nutrition Organic Bone Broth Collagen
As you may recall, we tested the non-organic version of both brands over a week ago and found trace signatures of different chemicals which might be expected in non-organic products derived from animals. But now, we've confirmed that these organic brands are qualitatively superior because they lack the chemicals found in conventional formulas.
All the testing, by the way, was conducted via HPLC-MS-TOF instrumentation using AOAC methods in an ISO-accredited laboratory, CWC Labs. We used a C18 column and a 2 ul injection volume, following a typical pesticide extraction method based on acetonitrile. A full chart of results will be released in about a week, including a numerical score for these organic products that highlights the clean test results and organic certification.
Excellent news for consumers... official details coming this week
This finding is excellent news for consumers, as it makes clear there is a very real advantage to buying organic bone broth vs. non-organic. As you might recall, we found the following types of trace chemicals in various non-organic bone broth products:
- Antibiotics / antibacterials
- Pharmacological drugs / chemicals
- Pesticides / fungicides
- Insect repellent chemicals
Yet none of these appeared in the organic brands we tested, as listed above.
This testing confirms yet again that "organic" truly means something: It's a superior product not only because of what it contains, but also because of what it doesn't contain, even when subjected to intense laboratory scrutiny.
I have never recommended commercial bone broth products before, but based on these tests, I can confidently say right now that if you choose to consume bone broth products that buy off the shelf, buy organic!
This article, by the way, is just a quick brief to give you a heads up on our findings. We have lots more details coming, including a handy reference chart on lab test results for these products. We will also be testing many other off-the-shelf products in the weeks ahead, comparing organic vs. non-organic and highlighting the differences we see in the lab.
Future tests will include dog food, gluten-free snacks, milk replacement products (such as almond milk) and much more. Stay informed by subscribing to Good Gopher Mail, where these results will appear first via email inbox delivery.

Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
