DO YOU REALLY KNOw
whAT'S IN YOUR
SUPPLEmENTS?
It can be tough to figure out if your sports
supplements are safe or if they actually contain
what's on the label, much less ensure you can
pass a drug test when using them. Here's why.
SUPPLEMENT
LABELS CAN BE
MISLEADING
It's possible to read the label
and think you're okay after
reviewing the ingredients.
Sadly, even reputable
companies with good intentions
can see their products
unknowingly contaminated
during manufacturing or from
raw materials.
SUPPLEMENTS
AREN'T ALWAYS
WELL REGULATED
Millions of sports supplements
are sold each month. The FDA
and the NCAA urge caution
when supplementing. It's
essential you review the
ingredients with a professional
like a dietitian, or a dietary
supplement certification and
testing provider.
MANUFACTURERS
MAY NOT KNOW
Contaminants can
enter your supplements without
intent from a manufacturer or
brand. The world can be a toxic
place where undesirable
elements such as toxins, heavy
metals, microbiological agents,
pesticides, and drugs can
unknowingly creep into a
product.
BSCG CERTIFIED SUPPLEmENTS GIvE YOU PEACE OF mIND
So, how can you tell if you've got a good supplement?
Choose supplements that use third-party certification
to verify and represent product quality. Banned
Substances Control Group (BSCG) is a leader in
third-party certification for dietary supplements.
Look for the BSCG Certified Drug Free and BSCG
Certified Quality seals. Both programs start with an
in-depth review of product specifications, quality
control, and compliance with regulations and current
Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). This sets the
foundation for any high quality supplement.
The BSCG Certified Drug Free program is the sport
standard conducting testing on every production lot
for more than 500 banned substances offering the
best protection available for athletes or other

professionals subject to ongoing drug testing. The
program also verifies product specifications for label
claims and environmental contaminants annually.
The Certified Quality program is designed for retail
and consumer protection. This annual testing
program screens for our industry leading testing
menu covering more than 500 banned substances
and verifies label claims and checks for heavy
metals, microbiological agents, pesticides, and
solvents.
The BSCG seals should fill you with a sense of trust
that your supplement has what it claims on the label
and is free of banned substances in sport or other
potential pharmaceutical or environmental
contaminants.
