PrimaGround
Our story

We started PrimaGround because we couldn’t find a supplement brand we trusted enough to take ourselves.

A founder, two operators, and one clinical pharmacist. Boulder, Colorado. Building the brand we wanted to buy.

Sourcing

We visit every farm we buy from.

Our ashwagandha comes from a KSM-66®-licensed grower in Madhya Pradesh. Our turmeric from a co-op in Erode, Tamil Nadu. Our cod skin from an MSC-certified North Atlantic cooperative. We’ve been to all three.

Single-origin sourcing means the entire supply chain — soil, harvest, processing, shipping — is visible to us. Trade secrets cost less than traceability. We pay for traceability.

Laboratory testing
Testing

Every batch is tested by labs we don’t own.

Two independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories — Eurofins and Alkemist — receive a sample from every production lot. Heavy metals, microbials, allergens, and a full assay of the active compound.

If a lot falls outside ±10% of label claim on the active assay, it does not ship. The certificate of analysis for the current shipping lot is linked from every product page.

Packaging

Glass-first, refillable, low-impact by design.

First purchase ships in amber apothecary glass — UV-protective, indefinitely recyclable, beautiful on a counter. Refills ship in compostable pouches inside 100% recycled corrugated mailers.

Refill subscribers save 15% and divert roughly 2.4 oz of single-use plastic per refill compared to a comparable plastic-bottle program.

Lines we don’t cross

Four things we will never do.

No. 01

Proprietary blends

Every milligram of every active is disclosed on the panel. If we can’t print the number, we won’t print the ingredient.

No. 02

Influencer claims

We do not pay athletes, celebrities, or wellness creators to make health claims about our products. The reasons should be obvious.

No. 03

Auto-shipped surprises

Refill subscriptions pause, skip, and cancel from a single page. No hidden cadence changes. No retention dark patterns.

No. 04

Cheap fillers

No magnesium stearate. No titanium dioxide. No silicon dioxide above functional minimums. The supplement facts panel reads like a recipe.

Read first

Read the magazine before you buy.

Most of what is wrong with the supplement industry is upstream of any individual product — it’s in dosing conventions, sourcing opacity, marketing language, and laboratory shortcuts. Our magazine works through it.
