Alkemist Labs and Nutrasource Collaborate on THC Compliance Testing Certification Program

Garden Grove, CA (June 4, 2019) – Elan Sudberg, CEO of Alkemist Labs, was recognized by the editors of NutraIngredients-USA as the 2019 NutraChampion at their annual awards ceremony on June 3 in New Orleans.

In describing why Elan was chosen, the organizers said “Elan has worked tirelessly for the dietary supplements industry, most of it behind the scenes, to elevate the conversation around testing and product quality, not just with Alkemist Labs but also by his selfless participation in numerous industry associations, committees and initiatives.”

“This recognition means a lot to me, and I am very honored” Elan said. “I know that the editors of NutraIngredients-USA don’t bestow this award lightly, and I appreciate their recognition that advocating for best practices, even in the face of occasional criticism, is valuable for our industry.”

“Those involved in the industry will be acutely aware of Elan’s tireless advocacy for dietary supplement quality,” Stephen Daniells, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of NutraIngredients-USA, said when presenting the award to Elan. “Alkemist Labs, founded by his father Sidney, is recognized as a leader in the testing of botanicals. But it is Elan’s generous support of industry initiatives, his leadership of key trade association committees, and his fierce demand that the industry continue to raise the quality bar that mark him as a NutraChampion. The NutraIngredients-USA Editorial Team is delighted to honor Elan Sudberg.”
