The truth about testing (most brands hope you never ask)

Hi there,
Many brands ask how much profit margin they can make per pouch.
We asked ourselves a different question.
We asked: "How good can we make this?"
Over the past few emails, we've shown you what's broken in the protein industry. And due to a number of recent reports, you've begun to see what's broken in the protein industry. Today, we're peeling back the curtain on exactly how we've built RISE311 differently.
No marketing spin here. Just some facts about our supply chain and our testing standards.
This is what craft protein actually looks like.
U.S. Manufacturing: Where Accountability Actually Exists
RISE311 is manufactured in the United States.
This isn't flag-waving. It's about regulations that actually get enforced.
U.S. manufacturing facilities face strict FDA oversight and regular inspections. When problems happen, there's accountability.
We always try to buy the best ingredients we can. Our Madagascar Vanilla comes from Madagascar. Because that's where the world's best vanilla grows.
We also buy the cleanest, most effective proteins without concern for cost – quality is what drives us.
Compare this to brands using cheap Chinese pea protein with zero supply chain transparency.
But it’s not just the ingredients that matter – it’s the manufacturing and the testing to make sure you are getting what you are expecting in every pouch.
NSF GMP Certified: The Gold Standard (Not Just Words On A Label)
RISE311 is manufactured in an NSF GMP certified facility.
If you're not familiar with NSF/ANSI 455-2, it's the global benchmark for dietary supplement manufacturing. Not the easiest standard. Not the cheapest. The best.
Here's what that certification actually means:
- Annual on-site audits by independent third parties
- Regular product testing throughout the year
- Detailed batch records for complete traceability
- Controlled formulation, facility sanitation, equipment maintenance
Every aspect is monitored. Contamination prevention isn't optional—it's required.
This certification exists to prevent the exact problems we've been discussing in previous emails. Most brands won't be getting their warehouse and manufacturing teams to go through this because it's expensive and demanding. We do!
Our Testing Protocol: Every Batch, No Exceptions
We don't test once and call it good.
We test every single batch before it ships to you. As well as every single ingredient before it goes anywhere near being mixed.
Tests like:
Micros testing to ensure no harmful bacteria or pathogens contaminate your protein. Because the last thing you need is to get sick from your health supplement;
Heavy metal testing on every batch using advanced ICP-MS technology. Our standard: is to test to make sure heavy metals are below California Prop 65 limits for a full 30g serving.
Let's talk about what that actually means (because most brands hope you never dig this deep).
What Is Prop 65? (And Why Most Brands Avoid This Conversation)
California Proposition 65 sets strict limits for chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
These limits are far more rigorous than EPA or FDA standards. For heavy metals, the daily limits are:
- Lead: 0.5 mcg
- Cadmium: 4.1 mcg
- Mercury: 0.3 mcg
- Arsenic: 10 mcg
Products exceeding these limits must carry warning labels in California.
RISE311's 30g serving stays below these limits. You're getting maximum protein with minimal risk.
Most brands? They either don't test for this, or they exceed these limits and hope you don't notice.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: if a brand isn't talking about Prop 65, they're probably failing it.
The Informed Sport Update: We're Raising The Bar (Again)
We promised you Informed Sport certification. We're delivering.
We met with our contact at Informed Sport last week. We're liaising with them on testing protocols for future production runs. We have samples from the current batch going over to the UK for testing.
This isn't about us lowering our standards. We're still going to keep doing all the tests we used to do. But we're going to be adding on the additional Informed Sport lab tests as well.
You'll be able to verify your specific batch number yourself on the Informed Sport website. Every batch tested for 285+ banned substances.
We'll announce when we're live.
Why now? Professional sports teams across Europe have been asking for RISE311. This certification is a must.
But here's what matters to you: this isn't just for elite athletes. It's proof that what's on the label is actually in the pouch. Nothing more, nothing less.
Premium ingredients. Rigorous testing. Complete transparency.
This is the standard we hold ourselves to.
This is what craft protein actually means.
Stay strong,
Jason Walsh
