CogniHoney Batch Verify: Check Your Bottle, Lot and Seller
The seller's materials give a lot reference of CH-26/IC-7909 and a CoA reference of CH-7909-26-IC. These are seller references, not independent lab proof, and the renders show no lot number. Check the seal, the label, the panel and where you bought it. Look-alike listings exist, so buy from the checkout this site links to.

What are the lot and CoA references?
The seller gave this site a lot reference, CH-26/IC-7909, and a CoA reference, CH-7909-26-IC.
We could not verify them. A certificate of analysis from the seller is not an independent test, and the bottle render shows no lot. Ask the seller for the CoA and compare the lot on your bottle. A lot number ties a bottle to a production run, so that a problem can be traced. A CoA is a document that states what a lab measured in that run, and the value of the document depends on who the lab was and what it tested for.
When you ask for a CoA, look for four things: the lab's name and address, the date, the lot number, and the list of tests with results. A page with a logo and no results is a marketing page.

What do you check on arrival?
| Check | What you should see |
|---|---|
| Package | Intact, with your name |
| Seal | Unbroken |
| Bottle | Black with a gold band and the honeycomb-C emblem; 30 capsules on the render |
| Panel | Supplement Facts matching the ingredient list |
| Lot | Printed on the bottle, matching what the seller gave you |
| Capsules | Count and color consistent, no odor of damp or mold, none cracked or stuck |
Do the check before you take a capsule, in daylight, with the bottle and the order email side by side. Photograph the label, the lot and the seal. Those pictures are your record if you need a refund or want to file a report.

How do you verify a bottle step by step?
Match the front
Compare the bottle with the render: wordmark, gold band, emblem, the front line and "30 Capsules Count".
Find the lot
Look on the label or the base for a printed lot and a best-before date. We hold neither.
Read the panel
Check that serving size, amounts and the 11 ingredient names are there. Compare with the list on the ingredients page.
Ask for the CoA
Write to the order email with the lot and ask for the lab report.
Keep the evidence
Store photos, the order email and the seller's reply together.

What can a seller reference prove, and what can it not?
It proves that a seller used a code. It does not prove what is in the capsule.
| Document | It can show | It cannot show |
|---|---|---|
| Lot number on the bottle | Which production run the bottle came from | That the run was tested, or by whom |
| Seller's CoA reference | That the seller keeps a numbered certificate | That an independent lab wrote it |
| A CoA with a lab name and results | What that lab measured in that lot | That your bottle came from that lot, unless the lot matches |
| A badge image | That someone placed a picture | Any inspection at all, if no certifier is named |
The practical lesson is to ask for the document, not to trust the code. If the seller sends a lab report, check that the lot printed on it equals the lot on your bottle, since a report for a different lot says nothing about yours.

How do you avoid look-alikes?
Buy from the checkout this site links to, and be wary of prices that look too good to be true.
The FTC warns that too-good prices on name brands may mean counterfeits and says to pay by credit card when possible (FTC, Online Shopping). Similar names exist; see name confusion. A counterfeit supplement can be the wrong strength, can be contaminated, or can hold something not on the label. Without a lab report from a body you trust, you cannot tell by looking.
Batch verify06
What do badges on the artwork prove?
Nothing yet. They name no certifier.
The brand artwork shows image badges for things like good manufacturing practice, GMO status and gluten. No badge names who inspected what, so we do not publish them as proof and we do not say any of those things about the product. A real certification names the body, the standard and a way to look it up. If your bottle carries such a mark, search for the certifier and check that the number is listed.

What if the count does not match the render?
Count the capsules and call before you take any.
The render prints "30 Capsules Count". A pack-level figure of 60 has not been confirmed in anything we hold, and some third-party listings use other counts. Open the bottle over a clean plate and count. If the number differs from the one on the label, write down both and photograph the plate. A shortfall is a customer service matter, and a surplus means the label or the listing was wrong. Either way the cost per day on the pricing page changes, and the days of supply change with it.
Batch verify08
What about the best-before date and storage?
We hold neither, so read them on the bottle.
The materials give no best-before date, and the renders show only the front. A date is the maker's estimate of how long the contents keep their stated strength when stored as directed. Heat, damp and open air shorten that. Keep the cap tight, the bottle cool and dry and out of reach of children, and do not decant capsules into another container where you could mix them with other pills. If a capsule looks swollen, sticky, discolored or smells off, do not take it.

Who can you ask about a bottle?
The order desk for the bottle, a pharmacist for the contents, and FDA for a reaction.
- Order desk: +1 (302) 200-3480, or [email protected], with your order ID and the lot on the bottle.
- Website inbox: [email protected], for errors on these pages. It cannot see orders.
- A pharmacist: for whether the label's names and amounts fit your medicines.
- FDA MedWatch: for a reaction, whatever the cause.
Put the order email, the label photos, the lot number and the seller's reply in one folder. If a refund or a report is ever needed, you will not be hunting for them.

What if something looks wrong?
Do not use it. Photograph the bottle and call the order desk with your order ID.
Report a bad reaction to FDA MedWatch (FDA MedWatch). For returns, see the refund policy. Keep the bottle, the box and the receipt until the matter is closed.
