Turn Quality Marks Into Market Momentum
Certifications aren’t just stamps; they’re growth levers. Here’s what they can unlock for your brand:
-
Channel Access
Meet retailer and marketplace acceptance criteria the first time, reduce back-and-forth, and speed to shelf
-
Pricing Power
Premium marks support stronger SRPs and MAP protection in practitioner and sports channels
-
Trust Signals
Consumers convert faster when third parties verify claims (clean label, non-GMO, gluten-free, organic)
-
Athletic Assurance
For sport lines, banned-substance screening protects athletes and teams—and protects your brand
Programs & Quality Marks That Verify Credibility
Show, don’t tell. Here’s the certification stack behind our operation plus programs we’ll secure for your product if needed. This section explains what each certification is and the scope it covers.
-
FDA Registered
Registration with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration that identifies a facility as manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding dietary supplements. It’s a federal listing/registration, not an endorsement or “approval”, and subjects the site to FDA inspection under 21 CFR Part 111..
-
NSF International
A third-party product certification program run by NSF that tests supplements to the NSF/ANSI 173 standard and audits the manufacturing facility. It verifies that labeled ingredients and concentrations meet the standard and that products conform to contaminant limits defined by the program.
-
NSF Sport
An NSF program specifically for sports supplements. In addition to NSF/ANSI 173 requirements, lots are screened for a broad panel of substances banned by major sports organizations, with heightened controls around formulation review and production oversight.
-
USDA Organic
Certification under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program (NOP). It establishes that agricultural ingredients and handling practices meet organic production, handling, and labeling standards (e.g., “100% Organic,” “Organic,” or “Made with Organic…”).
-
Informed Choice
A third-party quality assurance program (LGC) for sports nutrition products that involves monthly retail/supply-chain surveillance and routine screening for a defined list of prohibited substances. It is designed for ongoing monitoring of products available to consumers.
-
Informed Sport
A third-party quality assurance program (LGC) for elite sports nutrition products. Every certified batch is tested for a wide list of prohibited substances, with stricter chain-of-custody and pre-market release controls than Informed Choice.
-
Gluten Free
A certification that confirms a product meets a defined gluten threshold (typically ≤10 ppm for GFCO; ≤20 ppm aligns with FDA’s gluten-free rule) and that the manufacturing controls address gluten cross-contact.
-
Non-GMO
Verification that the product and its ingredients meet process-based standards intended to avoid genetically engineered inputs, supported by document review and, when applicable, testing at specified control points.
-
Kosher
Certification verifying that ingredients, processing aids, and production processes comply with Jewish dietary law, including supervision of changeovers and approved sources for animal-derived or enzymatic materials.
-
Halal
Certification confirming ingredients, processing aids, sanitation agents, and handling comply with Islamic dietary laws, including authorized sources for animal-derived inputs and compliant production segregation.
-
NASC
A quality-seal program for companion-animal supplements. It requires adherence to audit criteria, documented Adverse Event reporting, labeling conventions specific to animal health products, and ingredient stewardship suitable for pet applications.

Common Certification Concerns
Do you certify products you didn’t make?
No—certification services are available only for products we manufacture. That lets us control ingredients, processes, and testing to each program’s standard.
How long does certification add to lead time?
It depends on the program and testing scope. We’ll include estimated timing in your quote and sequence lab work alongside production to keep launches tight.
Will my labels need changes?
Usually yes—most programs have specific mark placement and wording rules. We provide pre-press guidance so your artwork is approved on first pass.
Is third-party lab testing required?
Yes, we route all required panels through ISO/IEC 17025 labs and manage sampling, chain-of-custody, and results packaging.
What if I only want one channel’s mark now?
Great—start with the mark that fits your primary channel. We can layer in additional programs on future runs without restarting from scratch
Can we certify existing products without reformulating?
Often yes. We review suppliers and processes first. Some marks (e.g., Organic, Non-GMO Project, Gluten-Free) may require ingredient swaps or additional controls.
Can every formula be certified?
Not always. Some marks restrict certain ingredients, claims, or process aids. We’ll assess feasibility up front and recommend any substitutions if needed.
Do sports certifications require every batch to be tested?
Certain programs (e.g., Informed Sport; some NSF Sport pathways) require lot-by-lot testing. We plan this into production so launch dates stay intact.
