Also known as NSF Certified for Sport™, the program minimizes the risk that a dietary supplement or sports nutrition product contains banned substances when taken at the recommended serving size.*
NSF developed this program to meet the growing demand of athletes, coaches and all those concerned about banned substances in sports.
What is the purpose of the program?
The program certifies that participating manufacturers and their products have met NSF’s stringent independent certification process guidelines, including:
- Product testing for banned substances and label content confirmation.
- Formulation and label review.
- Production facility and supplier inspections.
- Ongoing monitoring.
*NSF has tested and certified that these products contain the
identity and quantity of dietary ingredients declared on the
product label, and that these products do not contain known
banned substances. NSF certification, however, is limited to the
specific serving size on the label, and consumption in excess of
that serving size is not part of the certification. Select EAS products are certified through the NSF Athletic Banned Substance Certified for Sport™ Program, which is used by several professional and amateur sports leagues.
Certified for Sport™ is not a trademark of Abbott Laboratories.
