Meridian Nutritionals lab — assay equipment

Our standards

A supplement company built by athletes who read the label.

Meridian started in 2019 because the founders couldn’t find a stack that hit research-backed doses, published every batch’s COA, and didn’t taste like artificial chalk. So we built one.

Origin story

Founded in Boulder. Tested for the trail.

“We were tired of paying premium prices for proprietary blends. So we built a brand where every milligram is on the label, and every batch has a COA.”
— Jules Anders, Founder

Meridian was founded by Jules Anders, a former competitive ultra runner, and Dr. Naomi Park, a sports nutrition PhD who spent six years running clinical trials at the University of Colorado. The two met at a Boulder trail-running race in 2018 and bonded over a shared frustration: the supplement market was full of brands making big claims, but almost none publishing batch-level lab data, and almost all of them under-dosing the active ingredient.

Meridian opened in 2019 with three products (Daily Greens, Whey Iso 90, and Creatine), a single rule (every batch gets a COA, and every COA gets published), and a question we asked every athlete we knew: “What would make you switch brands?” The answers became our standards doc.

Today Meridian ships 11 SKUs from a cGMP-certified facility in Colorado, has third-party tested 2,400+ batches without a single adulteration finding, and is NSF Certified for Sport on the performance line. We’re still independent, still athlete-owned, and the COA on every batch is still public — that part will never change.

We don’t do influencer-only launches, we don’t sell our customer list, and we don’t spin proprietary blends. Every milligram is on the label. Every label tells the truth.

The Six Standards

Six commitments we don’t bend on.

Every Meridian customer gets these — every product, every batch, every order. The standards are our quality moat.

STD · 01

Clinical doses, always

Every active ingredient sits at a dose backed by published research. No fairy-dusting, no proprietary blends hiding under-spec inputs.

STD · 02

Every batch tested

ISO 17025 third-party assay for identity, potency, heavy metals, microbials, and label-claim verification. COA published per batch.

STD · 03

NSF Certified for Sport

The performance line is screened against the WADA banned-substance list every batch. Tested-federation athletes can use it.

STD · 04

Branded ingredients

Creapure®, Albion® TRAACS, Suntheanine®. We pay more for inputs with patented purity and decades of safety data.

STD · 05

No fillers, no dyes

No maltodextrin, no magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, no titanium dioxide. The bottle contains the formula, not flow agents.

STD · 06

Honest labels

Every milligram listed by name. Every allergen called out. No marketing-speak in the supplement facts panel.

Whey Iso 90 mixes clean. I don’t finish a shake and feel bloated like I used to.
