Contract manufacturer GMP Laboratories of America (Anaheim, Ca) has been certified under NSF International’s NSF Certified for Sport program, whose goal is to minimize the risks of banned substances in dietary supplement and sports nutrition products.
GMP Labs passed the program’s criteria, which includes product testing for over 150 banned substances, confirmation of label contents, product facility and supplier inspections, and ongoing monitoring to ensure the absence of banned substances.
The company also carries cGMP certification from NSF International, as well as from Silliker Laboratories.
