Performance Lab® developed NutriGenesis® to unlock the full performance-enhancing potential of vitamins and minerals.

Hydroponically grown on cultures in a sterile lab setting, NutriGenesis® uses patented technology that replicates nutritional genesis in nature. As a result, NutriGenesis® vitamins and minerals are supplied in a matrix of natural cofactors including probiotics, fiber, enzymes and antioxidants that enhance their bioavailability and health-supportive activity.

Beyond their effectiveness, lab-grown NutriGenesis® nutrients are safer, cleaner, and more eco-friendly than conventional vitamins and minerals.

NutriGenesis® vitamins and minerals are available exclusively in Performance Lab® formulas. More on NutriGenesis™

Standardization is a process where herbs are lab-calibrated to guarantee an exact level of their most active, health-promoting compounds.

Many factors can affect an herb’s potency, such as poor growing seasons, soil quality, time of harvest and environmental toxins. Standardisation ensures that despite these variables, the herb will consistently deliver the exact botanical active ingredients that work best to support health.

Since standardization supplies customized, precise levels of active compounds, it can also be used to increase an herb’s overall potency and improve an herb’s safety.

Branded ingredients are patented, trademarked forms of nutrients that offer performance advantages over plain nutrient forms.

Branded ingredients are typically more potent than their plain counterparts, and may feature advanced delivery systems and enhanced bioavailability. Some branded ingredients are backed by well-designed human clinical trials demonstrating their effectiveness and safety.

Not all branded ingredients are exceptional, but Performance Lab® has taken the time to identify and source the best branded ingredients in the world, which are proudly featured in our formulas.

Performance Lab®'s plant-based focus advances our mission of producing the cleanest, purest and safest nutritional supplements on the planet.

Plant-based Performance Lab® supplements are also more accessible and easier to tolerate for everyone – whether you are vegetarian, vegan, or simply following a clean lifestyle.

If you are striving to use clean-label products, be aware: Other supplement brands may be loaded with synthetics and/or animal-sourced ingredients.

Even more unscrupulous, some supplement brands may go to great lengths to appear like they are clean, plant-based and vegan-friendly – when closer label scrutiny reveals they are anything but.

Performance Lab®'s plant-based emphasis, on the other hand, runs deeper. We are the only brand to carry a plant-based focus throughout every detail of every supplement in our line.

Some examples of how Performance Lab®'s plant-based focus outperforms other brands:

True to our mission, Performance Lab® doesn’t seek out just any plant-based forms – we curate today’s greatest ultramodern plant-based ingredients and delivery forms, including nutritional technology innovations that are cleaner, more potent and more effective than anything ever developed.

Some ingredients in Performance Lab® supplements are concentrated or standardised to a high degree of potency that delivers more active compounds in a smaller dosage than plain ingredient forms with larger dosages.

Other Performance Lab® ingredients may work in harmony with the body to increase production of natural compounds, like hormones or neurotransmitters, rather than supplying those compounds directly in a big dose.

In all cases, Performance Lab® supplements are precisely calibrated to supply balanced, results-oriented doses that are safe, well-tolerated, and most importantly, highly effective. Bigger doses are not always better, and in some cases may be risky.

Performance Lab® supplements are the World’s Cleanest Formulas . To make this claim, we only use ingredients of unparalleled purity, while avoiding all unnecessary additives.

The cleanliness of our formulas is reflected on our labels: Performance Lab® supplements contain NO soy, egg, fish, shellfish, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, or other allergens; are non-GMO and non-irradiated; and are free of gluten, caffeine, synthetic additives, artificial colours and preservatives.

Look under “Other Ingredients” on Performance Lab® formulas’ supplement facts, and you will see that for most of our products, the only “Other Ingredient” is the capsule or softgel itself. That means these Performance Lab® supplements are filled to the max with 100% health-enhancing nutrition, nothing more, nothing less.

Not all additives are bad. Sometimes additives are needed to improve a supplement’s quality. For example, adding flow agents to a powdered nutrient can help to improve manufacturing quality and efficiency. Sometimes adding a colourant can help to protect nutrients that are light-sensitive. Performance Lab® only uses additives when they are absolutely necessary to enhance our supplements. In those rare cases, we will only use natural additives.

Performance Lab® always avoids artificial additives because they may carry some risks that, in our opinion, just aren’t worth it. Artificial colours have been linked to nerve issues, DNA damage and health concerns; artificial flavours have been tied to blood sugar and weight concerns; and artificial preservatives may hurt friendly flora and lead to digestive health concerns. Performance Lab® feels these synthetics have no place in supplements that are intended to support health.

Yes. Performance Lab® takes great care throughout each phase creation to ensure that our supplements enhance your health and performance safely and naturally.

We start by using premium quality ingredients that are backed by clinical research demonstrating safety. We then supply those ingredients using a minimal-effective-dosing philosophy that delivers all of the benefits you deserve without the potential risks of mega-dosing.

Performance Lab® always shows all dosages of every ingredient, so you can know exactly how much of each you are taking. We feel that sharing this information is an important safety step that is neglected by supplement brands that instead choose to hide their dosages in proprietary blends.

Performance Lab® products undergo dozens of quality control and quality assurance checks before, during, and after the manufacturing process, all of which further strengthen our safety profile. All Performance Lab® formulas are also validated by an independent third party auditing company that assays finished product to ensure purity, potency, label accuracy and overall quality.

For more information on the many safety checks that go into each Performance Lab® supplement, visit our manufacturing arm website at www.optinutra.com.

Yes. Performance Lab® supplements are made with legal ingredients only.

No – you do not need to cycle Performance Lab® supplements because they are designed to be safe for long-term daily use.

Be smart: Consult with your doctor before taking Performance Lab® supplements. Show your doctor a printout of Performance Lab® supplement facts. It is critical to talk to your doctor before starting any supplement program; this may be especially important if you have health concerns or are taking medications. Interactions are always possible, even with Performance Lab® formulas.

Also, please remember that this Performance Lab® website is not intended as a substitute for consulting with your doctor. This website does not provide medical advice or attempt to diagnose or treat an illness which should only be done under the direction of a healthcare professional.

Performance Lab® supplements are delivered in premium, natural, 100% vegan NutriCaps® and NutriGels® exclusively.

NutriCaps® are made from pullulan (fermented tapioca) only. Notably, NutriGels® are the first vegan softgels in the world to be made with tapioca, glycerin and purified water only. Most other vegan softgels are made with carrageenan, which has been linked to immune concerns.

NutriCaps® and NutriGels® feature excellent disintegration properties for easy, comfortable absorption; as well as exemplary oxygen barrier properties to protect nutrients from the damaging effects of moisture and oxidation. And, both NutriCaps® and NutriGels® are naturally infused with prebiotic nutrition that may further support digestive health and comfort.

Don’t be fooled by inferior vegan capsules: Some other manufacturers’ capsules labelled as “cellulose” may appear natural, but are actually made of semi-synthetic polymer.

Performance Lab® proudly uses NutriCaps® and NutriGels® to advance our mission of using the cleanest, healthiest, highest-quality ingredients – even when it comes to the capsules and softgels that deliver our formulas.

Eco-friendliness is an important part of Performance Lab® ’s “clean supplement” philosophy.

Our BPA-free bottles are manufactured from 20% post-consumer content, and are 100% recyclable. Performance Lab® also follows eco-conscious shipping practices, including using recyclable shipping boxes and biodegradable packing peanuts.

Beyond packaging, Performance Lab® strives for eco-friendliness in our processes and ingredients. For example, our Mind supplement uses Sharp-PS® Green, a soy-free form of phosphatidylserine that is made with a patented eco-friendly manufacturing process.

Our Mind supplement uses Sharp-PS® Green, a soy-free form of phosphatidylserine that is made with a patented eco-friendly manufacturing process.

In addition, we believe our NutriGenesis® vitamins and minerals are truly revolutionary for environmental practices: Since they are lab-grown, these nutrients avoid the herbicides, pesticides, carbon footprint and destructive mining practices associated with some other vitamin and mineral forms.

Performance Lab® supplements are designed and formulated in the United Kingdom, and then manufactured in a state-of-the-art, FDA-registered and GMP-certified facility in New Jersey, USA.

Performance Lab® supplements are made by our American manufacturing arm, Opti-Nutra™ Ltd., Advanced Nutraceuticals. To learn more about Opti-Nutra™ and the Performance Lab® manufacturing process, visit www.optinutra.com.
