🌿✨ Myth or Fact: Terpenes can degrade if products are stored improperly?

✅ Fact.

Terpenes are delicate compounds responsible for a product’s aroma, flavor, and therapeutic profile. When exposed to heat, light, or oxygen, terpenes begin to break down reducing product quality, altering flavor, and impacting the overall experience.

That’s why routine terpene profiling and proper storage are essential for ensuring consistency and safety. Accredited labs like PharmLabs use validated methods to accurately analyze terpene content, giving producers reliable insight into product stability and helping consumers get exactly what they expect in every batch.

🔬 Partner with an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited and DEA-licensed laboratory to guarantee your results are accurate, defensible, and trusted.

❓ Question of the Week: Global Kratom Legal Landscape.

Across the U.S., states are taking very different approaches to Kratom regulation. Louisiana has enacted a full ban, while Florida has advanced measures targeting synthetic derivatives like 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH). Most recently, Ohio is reviewing whether to classify all kratom compounds as Schedule I substances. This patchwork of laws raises an important question.

➡️ How can accredited testing labs help bridge regulatory gaps and bring clarity to the kratom industry?

At PharmLabs, we provide science-driven testing that supports both safety and compliance. Our kratom testing services include:

✅ Alkaloid profiling for mitragynine and 7-OH

📰 State Policy in Focus, Ohio Considers New Classification for Kratom.

Ohio is considering making all kratom compounds, including mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), Schedule I substances under the direction of Governor DeWine and the State Board of Pharmacy. If approved, this would make Ohio the first state to implement a full kratom ban.

This debate highlights the growing focus on safety, regulation, and product oversight within the kratom industry.

At PharmLabs, we support businesses with accredited laboratory testing to ensure every product meets safety and compliance standards.

Our kratom testing services provide:
✅ Alkaloid profiling for mitragynine and 7-OH
✅ Purity verification and adulterant detection

🔬 Myth or Fact of the Week.

Is psilocybin potency consistent across different mushroom strains?

❌ Answer: Myth.

Potency in psilocybin mushrooms is far from uniform. Levels of psilocybin and psilocin can vary widely not only between species, but also between strains, harvests, and even individual mushrooms within the same batch. Factors like genetics, cultivation conditions, and post-harvest handling all influence these variations.

Without accredited laboratory testing, there’s no reliable way to know the true potency of a sample. This is why accredited testing is necessary to validate results and maintain product reliability across every batch.

At PharmLabs, we specialize in precision potency testing helping researchers, cultivators, and product developers ensure accuracy, compliance, and consistency from start to finish.

✨ Question of the Week ✨

When you pick up a cannabis product, you’ll usually see THC % on the label but what about everything else that ensures its safety and compliance? 🌿🔬

Testing goes far beyond potency. At PharmLabs, we analyze for,
✅ Pesticides – harmful chemicals that can linger in the final product.
✅ Heavy Metals – contaminants like lead, cadmium, or arsenic that may be absorbed from soil.
✅ Microbials – bacteria, mold, and yeast that can compromise safety.
✅ Residual Solvents – leftover chemicals from extraction processes.

Food packaging requires a full list of ingredients so consumers can make informed choices. Should cannabis products hold the same standard, listing all test results on the label not just THC %? 📊

💬 We want to hear from you! Would this level of transparency make you feel more confident in your purchase?

At PharmLabs, we believe in transparency, accuracy, and ISO-accredited testing to protect both businesses and consumers.

🚨 The cannabis industry is watching closely as the U.S. government considers a historic reclassification, moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. 🌿

Here’s what this could mean:
🔹 Banking & Finance: Cannabis businesses could gain easier access to financial services, finally moving away from risky cash-only operations.

🔹 Taxes: Section 280E restrictions may be lifted, reducing the heavy tax burden on operators.

🔹 Medical Research: Rescheduling could unlock greater federal funding and expand clinical studies, giving researchers new freedom to explore therapeutic potential.

🔹 Compliance & Testing: With broader legitimacy, testing standards will likely grow more rigorous and unified across states, making accredited labs essential for ensuring safe, compliant products.

At PharmLabs, we’re committed to supporting industry partners through every regulatory shift. From potency and terpene profiling to full-panel contaminant testing, our mission is to provide accurate, transparent, and ISO-accredited testing services that safeguard both businesses and consumers.

🧪 Mycotoxins vs. Microbials: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters?

In product safety testing, not all contaminants are created equal. Two of the most important threats that PharmLabs monitors are microbials (living organisms such as bacteria, mold, and yeast) and mycotoxins (toxic chemical compounds produced by certain molds).

Here’s the breakdown:

🔬 Microbials can lead to product spoilage and impact consumer health through infections or allergic reactions. Common examples include E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus, and yeast.

⚠️ Mycotoxins, on the other hand, are chemical byproducts left behind by molds. Even if mold is no longer visible, these byproducts can remain in a product. Over time, exposure may affect overall wellness, making precise laboratory testing a vital step in ensuring safety and quality.

This distinction is why advanced testing is essential. While microbial contamination can sometimes be detected by appearance or spoilage, mycotoxins often leave no visual trace, making laboratory analysis the only way to verify product integrity and compliance.

At PharmLabs, we apply rigorous, science-backed methods to detect both living microbes and toxic byproducts, helping businesses safeguard their products, meet regulatory standards, and strengthen consumer trust.

✨ Your brand’s reputation depends on what’s invisible. Are you testing for both microbials and mycotoxins?

🧠 MYTH or FACT: Heavy metals can’t be present in cannabis or h**p grown in “clean” soil.

Answer: ❌ Myth.

Even if a farm’s soil passes “clean” testing, cannabis and h**p plants can still bioaccumulate toxic heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury from water sources, fertilizer residues, or even airborne pollution. These contaminants are invisible to the eye, odorless, and tasteless but can have serious health consequences.

That’s why full-panel heavy metals testing isn’t optional, t’s essential for every batch whether indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse-grown.

Why it matters:
Heavy metals can:
• Bind to plant tissue and remain in extracts, edibles, or v**e oils
• Cause neurological, kidney, and immune damage over time
• Pass undetected without advanced analytical testing

💡 At PharmLabs, we use state-of-the-art instrumentation to detect even trace levels, keeping your product compliant and consumers safe.

🚨 BPC‑157 is gaining momentum in the scientific community for its tissue-healing and cytoprotective effects and its orthopedic relevance is front and center in a recent 2025 peer-reviewed review:

🧬 Key findings from the review include:
– Enhanced fibroblast and epithelial cell migration.
– Modulation of the VEGF-A/VEGFR1 angiogenic pathway.
– Promotion of muscle regeneration and improved mechanical strength in tendons.
– Interaction with NO-system components for vascular stability.
– Positive effects in models of spinal cord and nerve injury.
– No significant organ toxicity observed in animal studies.

This article highlights how BPC‑157 promotes angiogenesis, cell migration, and nitric oxide regulation, which contribute to accelerated healing in muscle, ligament, tendon, and even bone tissue. The peptide shows potential in supporting recovery after orthopedic surgeries, tendon ruptures, and muscle injuries.

🛑 However, the review also underscores that BPC‑157 is not FDA-approved. Regulatory agencies continue to list it as an unapproved drug, making proper testing, verification, and labeling crucial for anyone handling this compound.

At PharmLabs, we provide accurate, reliable, and compliant peptide testing services tailored to emerging research compounds like BPC‑157. From purity verification to formulation support, our lab is equipped to meet your testing needs with precision and professionalism.
