Hello everyone!
We have had a lot of traffic since we have gone live and we are very happy that you have found us to be a useful resource. If you would like to see the effort continued we have a donation page that is accepting bitcoins as we have personally funded this through a group effort of consumers like yourself. Between paying other customers to make purchases, getting overnight shipping, and paying for CoAs its a costly affair to do true third party testing.
We have had a lot of questions about the operation and lab testing itself.
We recognize that different vendors use different labs for a variety of reasons. With that said there can be small variability between labs and you shouldn’t look at small discrepancies between one labs results and another as a reason to not trust a business enterprise. Unless you are seeing large differences in potency it is most likely the normal variability that can occur with testing these products. Labs can test the same material multiple times and have different results, different labs have different testing protocols resulting in variances, and natural products such as kratom will not be perfectly uniform leading to different samples having different results.
With that said any laboratory that is adhering to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and is accredited by a recognized organization can be trusted to put out quality and legally accepted lab results.
When looking at labs make sure the organization publishing them is either on
https://www.pjlabs.com
https://a2la.org/
https://anab.ansi.org/
https://www.iasonline.org
Or other certified accreditation organizations.
Consumer education is key to keeping everyone in the business honest, as well as keeping the business itself legal. We want to see clean quality products on the market, being sold to well educated and responsible consumers!

Small variations in laboratory purity results are normal, even under tightly controlled conditions. Factors such as instrument calibration, sample handling, environmental conditions, and operator technique can introduce minor variability between tests. In ISO-certified laboratories (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025), these differences are minimized through standardized methods, validated procedures, and routine quality controls. Typically, well-run labs report measurement uncertainty in the range of ±1–2% for many chemical purity analyses, though the exact tolerance depends on the method and material being tested.
Plant extracts are inherently more variable because their composition depends on natural factors like growing conditions, harvest timing, and extraction methods. They’re also complex mixtures, which makes precise quantification harder. As a result, inter-lab differences of ±3–10% (or more) are not unusual, depending on the compound and method.

I came so close to buying from Stout Alks on many occasions, but always had a funny feeling about it, so never did. Your site proved that feeling right 10 times over. Wildly overstated potencies and insanely high methanol across the board. Thanks so much for doing this. You also reassured me that Bronx is legit and deserves my continued business and respect.
Yea ive tried there stuff before and it had a bad taste to it.. tounge burning and just a all around shady feeling… glad yall are doing this… this needed to happen
I appreciate the kind words. It might be hard to believe but a lot of people were not happy with us doing this.
It’s not hard to believe at all. We here at Second Resurrection are receiving a ton of hate for testing our own products. We have not released anything to the public in a few weeks because the chemist just isn’t getting it right. But yet we have received a ton of hate for trying to encourage others to begin the same practice and we encourage people to only buy what has posted results!
