What is your testing protocol? Plus

1 | Raw Ingredient Testing

Before any ingredient enters our trusted manufacturers' sites, it undergoes comprehensive testing to verify its identity, purity, and potency. They test for heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, and ensure each raw material meets its specifications.

2 | Third Party Testing

Independence matters when it comes to quality assurance. That's why we work with a third-party laboratory to conduct unbiased testing of our finished products. These independent facilities verify that what's on the label matches what we say, alongside microbiological and heavy metal testing,  giving you complete confidence in every product.

3 | Cologne® List Accreditation

This Cologne® list accreditation ensures our products are screened for substances prohibited in sport, providing peace of mind for competitive athletes and anyone who values the highest standards of supplement safety and compliance.

What does it mean to be on the Cologne List®? Plus

It means a product has been tested for a wide range of banned substances by an independent laboratory and found to be free from contamination. This reduces the risk of unintentional doping.

Why is it so important, is 3rd party testing required by law? Plus

No, it’s voluntary. But in a largely unregulated industry, it’s one of the best ways to prove quality and safety.

Dietary supplements - unlike pharmaceuticals - do not go through an official approval process. This means, that no regulatory authority checks the accuracy of the label or the safety of the contents before they are sold to athletes. Cologne List® is an international quality management program that uses independent product controls to minimise the risk of including banned or doping-relevant substances in dietary supplements. Cologne List® provides orientation and greater safety for test pool athletes, as well as recreational and amateur athletes.

Can I check batch numbers of products? Plus

Yes you can. Each batch that we have tested will be linked on the site. We are committed to testing all batches of our products that are used regularly by teams and athletes.

In addition to this our contract manufacturers have Informed Sport Manufacturers accreditation. Another layer that adds to ensuring our products are safe and compliant.
