Purity and batch documentation
Volta's release specification is >99% (HPLC). That is a threshold we set. >99% is the specification every batch is released to. The figure on a certificate is what a laboratory measured for one lot.
No third-party certificate has been published for Glutathioneyet. The certificates Volta does publish, with the laboratory's own verification link on each, are in the certificate archive.
