NSF Certified for Sport®<\/sup> is an independent certification program that tests dietary supplements against 290 substances banned in sport, confirms the label matches the contents, and audits the facility where the product is made. It is the only third-party program recognized by USADA, MLB, the NHL and the CFL. Sports ProResolve carries it.<\/p>\n

If you compete at a professional level, you know the margin between winning and missing the cut is measured in detail. You dial in your training load, periodization, recovery and nutrition. Choosing a supplement shouldn’t be the weak link in all that work.<\/p>\n

Sports ProResolve<\/strong> is formulated with Lipinova®<\/sup> SPM, an ingredient that supplies the mediators involved in the body’s natural resolution of inflammation after physical exertion. But “natural” doesn’t mean “unregulated.” Precisely because we know you compete in an environment where a single undeclared substance can end a career, we’ve held the product to one of the most rigorous standards in sports nutrition in the United States: NSF Certified for Sport®<\/sup><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Natural does not mean verified<\/h2>\n

Being natural doesn’t exempt a product from risk. Dietary supplements in the U.S. don’t require pre-market approval from the FDA, which means a product can reach store shelves without any independent verification of what’s actually inside. For most consumers that’s a quality concern. For a competitive athlete, it can be career-ending.<\/p>\n

And the responsibility sits with you. Under the anti-doping rules every athlete competes by, a positive test is the athlete’s responsibility regardless of whether the substance came from a contaminated supplement they had no way of knowing about. That is the whole reason third-party certification exists.<\/p>\n

What NSF Certified for Sport is<\/h2>\n

NSF Certified for Sport®<\/sup> is an independent, third-party certification program built to minimize the risk that a dietary supplement contains substances banned in sport. It is run by NSF, a public health organization founded in 1944, and it is the only program of its kind recognized by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and the Canadian Football League. It is also recommended by the NFL, the NBA, the PGA and LPGA, Ironman and NASCAR, among others.<\/p>\n
