Not yet, for an unglamorous reason. Plus how to read the phrase when a brand that has launched uses it.
Not yet. Nothing has been manufactured at production scale, so there is nothing to test.
That is the whole answer, and we would rather give you the flat version than a warmer one that means less. What follows is what that actually implies, what has to happen before the answer changes, and how to read the phrase “third-party tested” when a brand that has launched puts it in front of you — because it is doing more work in this category than it has earned.
Kimora has not launched. Consumer launch is targeted for December 2026, the formula is through its third sample round, and there is no production lot in existence. A certificate of analysis is a document about a specific batch of a specific product made on a specific day. You cannot hold one for a batch that has not been made.
So “not yet” is a statement about the calendar, not about the standard. The order matters: manufacture, then test, then publish. Brands that publish before they test are not being fast, they are describing an intention.
The phrase gets used as though it were one thing. It is at least three, and they answer different questions.
A brand can say “third-party tested” while meaning only the first, and be telling the literal truth. The sentence is not a lie. It is just much smaller than the impression it leaves.
We are not going to describe a nutrition-panel analysis as a purity test. Working out how much sodium is in a stick so the Supplement Facts panel is accurate is a lab assay, performed by a third party, and calling it “third-party tested” would be defensible in a way we think is beneath the point. It measures whether our label is correct. It does not tell you whether there is lead in your creatine. Those are different questions and they deserve different sentences.
We are also not going to publish mineral amounts before the production certificate of analysis confirms them. Our formula targets are set. They are not the same thing as a measured result, and this is the exact category where the gap gets papered over — a number that started as a formulation target, appeared on a label, and was never checked against a finished lot.
You will notice this page contains no milligram figures. That is why.
These are locked, and they are true of the product as formulated:
What is deliberately absent: sodium, potassium and magnesium amounts, and the finished net weight. Those publish when the certificate of analysis confirms them, and not before.
In this order, because the order is not optional:
Banned-substance certification is a separate decision on a separate timeline, and we are not going to pre-announce it. If we pursue it, the mark will appear on the pouch and the program will be named on this page. If we do not, this page will say so.
This is the useful part, and it applies to every brand on the shelf including the ones that compete with us. Four questions, in rough order of how much they tell you.
“Can I see the certificate of analysis?” Not a summary, not a badge — the document, with a lot number on it. A brand that tests will generally show you. A brand that says “our products are tested” and cannot produce a lot-specific document is describing a policy, not a result.
“Does the lot number on the CoA match the tub in my hand?” This is the question almost nobody asks and it separates the field. A single flattering certificate from three years ago can sit on a product page indefinitely.
“Every batch, or one batch?” These are very different programs. Informed Sport tests every batch of a certified product before it is released, which is what makes it usable by someone subject to testing. Other schemes certify a product once and audit periodically. Both are real; only one tells you about the specific pouch you bought.
“Tested for what?” NSF Certified for Sport screens for more than 280 banned substances alongside label-claim and contaminant review, and it is the program USADA points athletes toward. A generic “third-party tested” with no program named and no analyte list is not comparable to that, and should not be read as if it were.
If you compete under a tested rule set, the last two questions are the only ones that matter, and “third-party tested” on its own does not answer either.
Writing a page about testing standards while having no test results is a slightly ridiculous position to hold, and we know it.
We would rather hold it than the alternative. The alternative is the badge that means less than it looks like, the certificate with no lot number, the target value printed as a measurement. Those are all available to us right now, today, and they are why the phrase has stopped carrying information.
Ask us again when there is a lot to test. The answer will be a document.
Contract manufacturers run their own quality checks and raw material suppliers provide their own certificates — that is standard in the industry and it is not what “third-party tested” means to an athlete. In-house testing is the manufacturer grading its own work. We will not present it as independent verification, and neither should anyone else.
Publish it. That is the point of the exercise. A claim that a certificate exists is worth roughly nothing compared to the certificate.
If you compete under a tested rule set, the conservative position is to use products certified by a batch-testing program, and to check that the specific batch is listed. That advice does not favour us — we do not currently qualify under it. It is still the right advice.
Creatine is cheap to manufacture, which historically has attracted producers working to a low standard, and the contaminants of concern are process residues and heavy metals rather than anything exotic. It is not uniquely dangerous. It is a product most people take daily for years, which is a good reason to care what is in it.
