NSF International develops online resource for supplements information

ANN ARBOR, Mich. NSF International on Tuesday launched a new online resource, http://www.nsfsport.com, to provide information to help consumers, athletes and coaches choose safer, quality supplement products.

“We are pleased to see more user-friendly resources being placed in the hands of the public,” stated Liliana Begg, manager, Clean Sport Initiative. “The Clean Sport Initiative, which provides a forum for discussions on accidental doping will now have the support of value-added informational sites that provide consumers with the guidance they need when choosing nutritional supplements.”

NSF’s Athletic Banned Substances Certification Program certifies sports supplements that have met NSF’s certification guidelines and provides key preventive measures to protect against adulteration of products, verify label claims with product contents, as well as identify any banned substances in the finished product. The certification program has been recommended by key athletic organizations, including Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, the National Football League, the Professional Golf Association, the National Football League Players Association and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports.
