What
is the NSF Certified for Sport® Program?
The
NSF Certified for Sport® Program builds on NSF's expertise in the areas of
dietary supplements and functional foods.
To
meet the growing demands of athletes, coaches and all those concerned about
banned substances in sports supplements, NSF International created the NSF
Certified for Sport® Program. This NSF program is a focused solution designed
to minimize the risk that a dietary supplement or sports nutrition product
contains banned substances.The
program certifies that participating manufacturers of sports supplements have
met NSF's stringent independent certification process guidelines, which were
developed through a consensus process involving regulatory, industry, and
consumer groups. A key component of this program is a specially designed NSF
Mark on each product label to show athletes, coaches and consumers that a sports
supplement has met NSF's comprehensive program guidelines.
The
NSF Certified for Sport® Program goes beyond the standard NSF certification
process to provide additional key preventive measures to:
- Protect against adulteration of products.
- Verify label claims with product contents.
- Identify athletic banned substances in the finished product or ingredients.
There’s
a reason why Major League Baseball (MLB), the MLB Players’ Association,
National Football League (NFL), the NFL Players’ Association, PGA, LPGA, and
the Canadian Center for Ethics in Sports have all chosen NSF Certified for
Sport® to ensure the products their athletes use are safe. NSF’s Athletic
Banned Substances Program is the only comprehensive program designed for
participating manufacturers and their products that includes ISO 17025
accredited product testing methods for 144 banned substances, label content
confirmation, formulation and label review, production facility and supplier
inspections, as well as ongoing monitoring in line with substance prohibitive
lists: WADA, NSF ANNNEX A, NFL, MLB, and NCAA.
NSF
Certified for Sport® products are elite, and they have the mark to prove it. Look for the NSF Certified
for Sport® mark, to be sure
the product you are taking is quality certified to be completely free of banned
substances.
