Manufacturer statement
NOW Foods’ COA site states: “A COA confirms that the product you purchased has gone through detailed testing and adheres to its product specifications and NOW standards.” The Amazon listing also shows a NOW image saying “by conducting 31,000 quality tests each month” and an Intertek GMP certification graphic, but I did not find an independently verifiable product-specific COA or registry entry for this exact ashwagandha product.

Manufacturer statement
Batch-specific COA (batch 57080) from Together Health Ltd, signed by the manufacturer's own QA (Bob Clough), states "Analysis performed by a 3rd party lab, accredited by UKAS" but does not name the lab. Read directly: no identifiable independent lab, so recorded as manufacturer-provided COA rather than verified independent lab testing.
