Every batch. Tested.

Informed Sport. Why risk it?

The world's leading testing program for sports supplements

Informed Sport is the world's leading testing and certification program for brands producing sports and nutritional supplements. Designed for elite sport, it protects athletes from inadvertent doping caused by supplements contaminated with banned substances. As such, it is recognised by sporting and governing bodies, anti-doping bodies and nutrition industry organisations, and the armed and special forces.

Why testing matters

As many as one-in-ten supplements are contaminated with ingredients and compounds prohibited in sport. As a result, many athletes fail doping tests because of the supplement products they use. According to a study carried out by the Anti-Doping Knowledge Centre, product contamination was responsible for 8% of all anti-doping violations between 2015–2022.

Manufacturing standards for supplements vary, while many countries do not follow strict rules in the manufacturing and labelling of supplements. Contamination issues can occur when:

  • Products become contaminated with prohibited substances during the manufacturing process
  • Ingredients on the label may be listed differently to how they are shown on the Prohibited List
  • Supplements may be sold as counterfeit products—containing prohibited substances or harmful ingredients

Trusted by sport

A label stating "Safe for Sports People" or "Approved by WADA" is meaningless—WADA and National Anti-Doping bodies do not approve supplement products. Informed Sport has been designed to allow brands to place products on the market that can be trusted by elite sport.

To ensure our certified supplements are safer for athletes, we test every single sports supplements batch for banned substances before being released to market. Our sports supplements certification process is trusted by sports professionals all over the world—with Informed Sport, you can be confident your reputation is in safe hands.
