NSF Certified for Sport Program Helps Athletes to Avoid Banned Substances

The focus of NSF Certified for Sport program is to reduce the athletes risk of using banned substances accidentally. The products that are approved for certification usually contain a NSF Certified for Sport(TM) Mark on their label.

The NSF Certification program was developed in response to growing demands by athletes, coaches, team owners and others concerned about finding banned substances in sports nutrition products.

The requirements include formulation and label review, toxicology review, facility Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) inspection, and laboratory analysis for label contents and banned substances.

NSF has been giving certificates for food, water and consumer products for 64 years, and the NSF Certified for Sport designation is a seal of approval recognized worldwide.
