Hormone screening is an additional quality-control step used to identify selected hormone-related substances and other clinical-use chemicals. EINNALAB conducts independent SGS laboratory screening to support ingredient transparency and consumer confidence.

Why Hormone Testing Matters for Animal-Based Supplements

Animal-derived supplements such as deer placenta, sheep placenta, horse placenta and porcine (pig) placenta are used by some women as part of their general wellness and nutritional routines.

But because placenta is animal-derived biological material, there is one important quality question consumers should ask:

Has the finished supplement actually been tested for hormones?

Hormones are natural chemical messengers in the body. They help control important functions including the menstrual cycle, reproduction, mood, metabolism and the body’s response to stress.

Animal-derived material does not automatically mean that a finished supplement contains harmful levels of hormones.

However, EINNALAB believes hormone levels should be tested rather than simply assumed.

    Does This Mean Animal-Based Supplements Are Bad?

    No.

    The concern is not simply that a supplement contains deer, sheep, horse or porcine ingredients.

    Animal-derived supplements can still be used as part of a general wellness routine.

    The important issue is quality control.

    Consumers should look for products that are properly manufactured and supported by appropriate testing rather than assuming that every animal-derived supplement is the same.

    For placenta supplements, EINNALAB believes screening for relevant hormones provides an additional level of reassurance.

    Why Can Too Much Hormone Exposure Be a Concern?

    If a supplement contained meaningful amounts of undeclared hormones and a person repeatedly consumed it, unintended hormone exposure could potentially interfere with the body’s normal hormone balance.

    Depending on the hormone, amount and duration of exposure, possible effects may include:

    • Irregular or disrupted menstrual cycles
    • Breast tenderness or breast changes
    • Acne or oily skin
    • Increased facial or body hair
    • Mood or emotional changes
    • Fluid retention and bloating
    • Changes in normal reproductive hormone function

    With significant or prolonged abnormal hormone exposure, the concern becomes more serious because hormones influence many organs and body systems.

    This does not mean animal placenta supplements normally cause these problems.

    It explains why testing the finished product is an important additional safety and quality check.

    The Hormones EINNALAB Screens For

    EINNALAB commissioned independent laboratory testing by SGS Singapore.

    The screening included important hormone-related substances such as:

    Estradiol

    A major form of estrogen in women. It plays an important role in the menstrual cycle, reproductive system and other body functions.

    Estrone

    Another naturally occurring form of estrogen. Like other estrogens, abnormal exposure may affect hormone-sensitive processes in the body.

    Progesterone

    An important female reproductive hormone involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

    Testosterone

    Although commonly associated with men, women naturally have testosterone too. Excessive androgen exposure can be associated with effects such as acne and increased facial or body hair.

    Cortisol is involved in the body’s stress response, metabolism and many other functions. Abnormal corticosteroid exposure can affect multiple body systems.

    Hormones themselves are not “bad.” They are essential to normal health.

    The concern is unexpected or excessive exposure when the consumer does not know it is present.

    Don’t Just Read the Label – Ask for the Test Report

    A supplement label tells you what the manufacturer says is inside the product.

    It does not necessarily tell you what laboratory screening has actually been performed.

    When considering an animal-derived supplement, consumers can ask the brand:

    Has your finished product been tested for hormones?

    Can I see the laboratory report?

    Was the actual finished supplement tested, or only the raw ingredient?

    Not every supplement brand publicly displays this type of finished-product testing, so consumers may need to ask before purchasing.

    EINNALAB Tests Beyond Hormones

    EINNALAB chose not to stop at basic hormone screening.

    As part of our quality-assurance program, we commissioned SGS Singapore to screen the finished EINNALAB product across a panel of 365 chemicals for clinical use.

    For the tested sample, the substances within the laboratory screening scope were reported as not detected.

    This provides consumers with documented laboratory evidence rather than asking them simply to accept a marketing claim.

    Why We Publish Our Test Information

    At EINNALAB, we believe:

    Quality claims should be supported by evidence.

    That is why we make information about our independent laboratory testing available to consumers.

    A statement such as:

    “Premium quality”

    is only a statement.

    A laboratory report provides evidence of what was actually tested.

    For animal-derived supplements, we believe transparency is especially important.

    What Should You Look For Before Buying?

    Before purchasing a deer placenta or other animal-derived supplement, consider asking:

    • Who manufactures the product?
    • Is the finished product independently tested?
    • Has hormone screening been performed?
    • Can the company provide the laboratory report?
    • Does the report identify the actual finished product or batch?
    • Does the company clearly explain what was and was not tested?

    Don’t simply assume. Ask for the evidence.

    Disclaimer

    The possible effects described above relate to abnormal or unintended hormone exposure generally.

    They do not mean that deer placenta, sheep placenta, horse placenta or porcine supplements normally contain harmful hormone levels or cause these effects.

    The significance of hormone exposure depends on the specific substance, amount, duration of exposure and individual circumstances.

    Laboratory testing is one part of a broader quality-control system and does not guarantee that a dietary supplement is suitable for every person.
