A COA is the lab report for a sample.
COA means Certificate of Analysis. It should help you connect a result to a specific sample, lot, laboratory, test method, and date. Start with these three questions.
- 01Does it match?
Match the product name and lot or batch number on the report to the item you are checking.
- 02What was tested?
Identity, amount, purity, sterility, and endotoxin answer different questions. Look for the method and result for each one.
- 03Can you verify it?
Check the laboratory independently and look for a complete, dated report rather than a cropped result or one unexplained percentage.

Why I built LIFT
Hi, I’m Makay.
I’ve spent 17 years in fitness and currently work as a trainer. I hold current NCCPT and ISSA personal-training certifications, plus ISSA credentials in nutrition coaching, corrective exercise, and strength and conditioning.
Now I read studies, FDA records, and lab reports so I can explain the useful parts in plain English.
I’m not a clinician, and I’m still learning. I’ll tell you when the evidence is limited.
- NCCPT Certified Personal Trainer
- ISSA Certified Personal Trainer
- ISSA Nutrition Coach
- ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist
- ISSA Strength & Conditioning
I’m also a pilot, former air traffic controller, and law student. I’m still learning, and I’m not a clinician or laboratory professional.
LIFT keeps educational conclusions separate from commercial relationships. The current Peptidology relationship and full disclosure are listed on the partnerships page.
