Certifications & Compliance | Regulatory compliance for global markets | Industry: FDA-compliant (base safety) ▲ Base: FDA ▲ Advanced: FDA + Halal + COA (exceeds industry with 3 certifications) | Advanced meets global dietary regulations and provides third-party testing assurance | Base lacks Halal/COA for niche markets requiring religious or purity certifications |
Shelf Life | Long-term storage in warehouses | Industry: 12 months ▲ Base: 18 months ▲ Advanced: 24 months (double industry standard) | Extended shelf life reduces waste and logistics costs for distributors | Shorter shelf life in Base may require more frequent restocking cycles |
Packaging Material | Light-sensitive ingredient protection | Industry: Plastic ▲ Base: Plastic ▲ Advanced: Amber Glass (blocks 99% UV light per ASTM D1003) | Advanced maintains ingredient efficacy longer by preventing light degradation | Glass is heavier and more fragile than plastic, increasing shipping costs |
Dosage Precision | Precise dosing for athletes | Industry: No dropper ▲ Base: Measuring cap ▲ Advanced: Precision Dropper (±0.1ml accuracy ISO 8655) | Advanced ensures exact dosing for consistent performance outcomes | Base requires estimation, risking under/over-dosing |
