NSF's Athletic Banned Substances Certification Program reduces the risk that a dietary or sports supplement contains banned substances. Recognized by Major League Baseball (MLB), the program was developed to meet the growing demand of athletes, coaches and all others concerned with banned substances in sports nutrition products. To achieve certification, SomaLife's gHP Sport™ was evaluated by NSF to demonstrate that what is on the label matches the content of the product, and that no banned substances are present. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, NSF International helps protect the public by certifying products and writing standards for food, water and nutritional goods.
Requirements of NSF's Athletic Banned Substances Certification program
include:
• Formulation and label review • Facility Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) inspection
• Toxicology review • Laboratory analysis for label contents and banned substances
Products are certified and facilities inspected for a wide range of banned substances comprised of substances
prohibited by WADA, NFL, and MLB. The list includes stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, beta blockers, masking agents, and other substances. For meeting the requirements of the program, gHP Sport™ will bear the Certified for Sport™ mark on the label to show athletes, coaches and other consumers that it has met NSF's stringent criteria. Ongoing monitoring will ensure continued conformance. gHP Sport™ is also listed on the NSF website at
