“Clean, Quantified, Verified.”

At LiveComplete, ‘clean’ isn’t a slogan — it’s a number. Every batch of our NutriMatch™ protein products is independently tested for four key heavy metals: lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury.

Our results consistently show levels up to 30× lower than global safety limits — cleaner than most foods people eat every day, from fruits and grains to meat and dairy.

How Our Numbers Compare

Cleaner Than What’s on Most Plates
Trace metals aren’t unique to supplements — they’re found in every food on the planet. Plants absorb minerals and metals from soil and water; animals then absorb them through feed. The result is that even clean, organic foods contain measurable traces of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. The difference is how tightly those levels are controlled. Our NutriMatch™ blends consistently test lower than the typical ranges found in everyday foods — and far below the limits allowed for concentrated protein powders.

Testing & Verification

Each LiveComplete product lot is tested by independent ISO 17025–accredited laboratories
using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) — the gold-standard analytical method for trace metal detection.

Results are benchmarked against:

  • FDA and WHO international safety limits, and
  • LiveComplete’s internal “Clean Label 2.0” threshold, which sets targets at ≤10% of allowable limits.

You Deserve to Know What’s in Your Protein

You shouldn’t have to wonder what’s inside the products that fuel your body. When you reach for a protein shake or meal replacement, you deserve confidence — not fine print. That’s why we don’t just meet safety limits — we measure, verify, and publish them.

Heavy metal testing isn’t about fear; it’s about trust. Trace minerals are naturally present in all foods, but how much ends up in your daily routine depends entirely on sourcing, manufacturing, and oversight. At LiveComplete, we make those numbers transparent so you can make informed choices for yourself and your family.


You get science you can trust, transparency you can see, and nutrition you can rely on — meal after meal, shake after shake.

Trace Elements Are Natural — Control Is What Counts

Heavy metals occur naturally in the environment. Even “organic” foods and pasture-raised meats contain measurable amounts of minerals and metals from soil and water. Eliminating them entirely isn’t possible — but controlling them is.

That’s where our process makes the difference:

  • Careful sourcing of clean, verified raw materials
  • In-house quality checks before production
  • Independent lab validation on every lot
  • Ongoing monitoring to maintain consistency

While other brands simply meet the minimum legal requirements, we measure and document every variable — because nutrition should be defined by data, not slogans.

“The conversation about heavy metals shouldn’t scare consumers — it should empower them with facts.

Our results show that plant-based nutrition can be every bit as clean, or cleaner, than animal-based foods.”
