Made Traceable in South Africa
Every ingredient, every supplier, every batch.
Most supplement brands won't tell you where their actives come from. We will. Below is every ingredient currently in a Vivid bottle, the country it's grown or extracted in, and the lab in Centurion that tests every batch before it ships.
Exact mg labelled
No proprietary blends. The number on the bottle is the number in the capsule.
Third-party batch tested
Identity, potency and heavy metals — by an ISO 17025-aligned SA lab.
SAHPRA-aligned
Regulated formulations meet South African complementary-medicine standards.

Our four-stage testing
How a Vivid batch gets to your shelf.
- 1 · Raw material identity
Every shipment is checked against a reference standard before it touches a capsule. FT-IR + HPLC where applicable. - 2 · Potency assay
The active is measured. The label number has to match the lab number, or the batch doesn't run. - 3 · Heavy metals + microbial
Lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium plus total plate count, yeast, mould, E. coli, salmonella. - 4 · Finished-product retest
After encapsulation, we re-test a random sample of the finished bottle. Only then does the batch release.
If we ever miss the mark
Money back. No questions, 30 days.
If a Vivid product doesn't do what we said it would, send it back — full refund, including shipping. We carry the risk, not you.
