Can I use the seal before my study is complete?

No. The seal means your study is done. Your results are in. You’ve earned it. If you use it before completion, that’s a different legal problem we’re not willing to create for either of us.

How long can I use the seal?

Forever. Your study results don’t expire. You completed a trial. You have the data. You can use the seal indefinitely.

What if I want to discontinue use?

That’s fine. Just let us know. We’ll update our records. No penalty. No drama.

Can I modify the seal design?

No. The seal is standardized. Same across all brands. That’s what makes it credible. It’s not a custom logo. It’s a mark of clinical validation.

Does the seal come with liability protection?

No. Your clinical evidence is your liability protection. The seal is just the badge. Your study data is the substance. Make sure your claims match your data.

What if a competitor uses a fake Citruslabs seal?

We’ll hunt them down. Seriously. If someone’s claiming to have our seal without having done our study, that’s fraud. We work with our lawyers to shut that down immediately.

The Citruslabs Tested Seal

What is the Citruslabs Tested Seal? The Citruslabs Tested Seal is a verifiable third-party trust mark earned by completing an IRB-approved Citruslabs clinical study on the actual product formulation. Unlike trust seals that brands purchase, the Tested Seal cannot be bought — it requires real participant data, real statistical analysis, and a real Citruslabs report. Brands that earn the seal can display it on packaging, product pages, Amazon listings, ads, retail decks, and investor presentations indefinitely, with no recurring fee.

A mark of clinical validation that signals to consumers, retailers, and investors that your product's claims are substantiated by real science.

Most trust seals are purchased. Ours is not. The Citruslabs Tested Seal means one thing: you ran a real clinical study on your actual formulation, got real results, and earned the right to say so. No subscription. No shortcut. No “clinically inspired” loophole. Just research. Put it everywhere your marketing claims need to hold up.

What is the Citruslabs Tested Seal?

The Citruslabs Tested Seal is an official mark awarded to products that have completed clinical research conducted and managed by Citruslabs. It signifies that a product's claims have been evaluated through rigorous scientific methodology — not borrowed ingredient data or generic studies, but actual product-level clinical evidence.

By displaying the seal on your packaging, website, advertising, and retail materials, you communicate to consumers and stakeholders that your product has been <strong>clinically tested, validated, and substantiated to the highest standard.</strong>
