Product & Manufacturing Review

INFORMED Sport evaluates our raw materials and suppliers across all production and packaging sites as well as our operational procedures and verifies our GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices ensure products are consistently produced and controlled to maintain quality standards


Pre-Certification Testing 

A minimum of three, final product samples are tested to the level in the ng/g region against WADA’s banned substance list – an essential requirement for banned substance programmes and risk mitigation.


Certification Registration

After successful certification, each batch of each product is tested and registered at wetestyoutrust.com so anyone can verify the product they purchased has been certified.


On-going Testing

Blind testing continues throughout the lifetime of each product certification. INFORMED Sport purchases each product directly from a randomly selected retailer and repeats the pre-certification tests so buyers can be confident about batch consistency and that products haven’t been accidentally or intentionally contaminated in transit.
