What does amino acid testing actually cost?
You asked three labs for a quote. You got “it depends,” a blog saying “$500–$2,000 per batch,” and a sales call. Nobody would just tell you the number.
Opaque pricing wastes your weeks.
Quote-based pricing means a discovery call before a number, a sales rep before a scope, and a week gone before you know whether testing is even in budget.
You deserve the number up front. So here it is. (For what the testing should actually cover, see how to verify amino acids on a supplement label.)
Our prices, published.
$150 a sample. $125 at 10 or more. $99 on a standing contract. And the cheapest way to find out whether you have a problem: the $250 pilot — 5 samples, credited in full against your first contract.
