Unknown fillers in test reports

[scarywood75]

Lately, I've seen a fair amount of Janoshik test reports with "unknown fillers/polymers" warning in the comment from different sellers and products.

I don't check all test reports I see everywhere of course and I do check more of them at the moment, so maybe it's just me?

I'm trying to see whether or not I'm crazy or else try to make sense of all of this.

You know, polymers! Just little plastic beads floating around your body, NBD

Many of the Jano (and TrustPoint) COA's don't even mention fillers. Mass and Purity is all that I am seeing.

I even went back and looked at the COA's that I paid for at Trust Pointe and it is a 12 page COA with no reference to anything but the Tirz.

Am I missing it?

In the comment section, I've linked few examples. These are the ones released very recently, but I saw more than that from more vendors.

I thought it was with one seller, than I saw other reports for other sellers like that, then I saw reports from other things than reta.

So at that point I'm not too sure what's going on with that

It's definitely popping up among a few different companies. I think this is another sign of what a lot of people have suspected for a while: many of our "manufacturers" are actually resellers buying from the same questionable source.

Everybody’s prices are within like 10% of each other and they carry the exact same catalogs. They drop prices in unison. Yeah. Almost all are resellers at various levels above manufacturers. But that’s ok. If manufacturers don’t wanna deal with us then these people add value.

I agree, and I think this model makes a ton of sense from a manufacturers perspective. I just wish we knew more about who our resellers were choosing to buy from so that we could avoid ones who consistently purchase from sources that cause these issues.

Do you think it's just for the raw that they purchase from someone else or the finished products even?
