Con-Cret earns NSF’S Certified for Sport certification
Con-Cret Creatine HCl from Vireo Systems recently earned certification from NSF’s Certified for Sport program. NSF is a global public health organization that tests and certifies products to help protect athletes and consumers from potentially harmful ingredients and athletic banned substances in dietary supplements. Con-Cret creatine HCl powders and capsules all received the NSF certification.
Con-Cret said it engages in the highest level of third-party certification and quality assurance. In addition to the NSF certification, all the brand’s products are made and manufactured in the United States in a Safe Quality Food and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices certified facility.
Products earning Certified for Sport accreditation are tested for 280 athletic banned substances as well as potentially harmful levels of specific contaminants like lead, arsenic and other heavy metals. Product formulation, label claims and Good Manufacturing Practice compliance also are verified as part of this rigorous supplement certification program.
