BSCG is the only certification provider to include coverage against an additional 211 prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit drugs not banned in sport, which provides unique protection against these potentially harmful drug contaminants.

In addition to its comprehensive drug-testing protection, BSCG’s protocol includes a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) quality-control process review, raw material ingredient and supplier review, and a general toxicology assessment. Testing is conducted in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17025 accredited laboratories. Ongoing batch testing is required with random testing of products conducted on occasion.
