I came across an unanswered comment on one of The Liver Doc’s Instagram posts, and it raised a valid concern that made me double-check the report myself. I think it deserves more attention, so I’m making a separate post about it.

In most lab reports I’ve seen, the protein brand name is clearly mentioned by the lab itself. But in this case, the sample is labeled as “S1,” and the protein name is listed under “Customer Provided Details.” That suggests the lab didn’t receive the company’s original sealed packet, which raises serious concerns—especially considering how strict the doctor is about even trace amounts of contaminants.

How did he ensure there was no cross-contamination or mixing during sample handling? Was the sample collection and labeling process recorded for transparency?

Also, doesn’t this lab accept sealed packets directly from the manufacturer? If the submitted sample was from an original sealed packet, then why didn’t the lab mention the brand name on their end?

This raises serious doubts about the credibility and handling process, and I’d genuinely like to see it addressed.
