DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
TRUTH-IN-LABELING PROGRAM

Athletes have the right to know that the supplements they are taking, including sports drinks, amino acids, and protein products, are legal for all sports, and do not contain banned substances or ingredients not listed on the product label.

Even though drug-free athletes and consumers strive to select healthy, legal-for-sports supplements, it is still possible for an athlete to obtain and consume a product, purchased in their local health food/supplement store, that will cause them to test positive for banned substances.

Despite all precautions, athletes, coaches, and trainers are currently challenged to find sports supplements that are banned-substance-free.

Honorable sports supplement manufacturers are seeking independent validation to provide to the public which warrant that their product is indeed banned-substance-free, and that their label is accurate.

In order to do this, it requires independent assays and raw materials audits. Further, it is impossible for any sports marketing company to provide a 100% guarantee on any product they distribute without an analysis of every single unit of product manufactured, and an audit of every single ingredient used in the product.

An absolute 100% guarantee is impossible unless an in-house audit of the manufacturing laboratory is undertaken, and FDA records for said laboratory has been examined for violations.

Athletes and consumers need to be wary of any program or laboratory that makes 100% guarantee claims on drug-free supplements without benefit of manufacturing audits, assays, and analytical documentation.

DETECTING BANNED SUBSTANCES

In order to detect banned substances in dietary supplements, beverages, snacks, and foods, advanced analytical methods are required.

A thorough analysis of a supplement involves:

CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
SEAL OF APPROVAL

Companies that have duly submitted a sports supplement (s) to HSP, and whereas said supplement has passed all the protocols as outlined by the HSP Truth-In-Labeling Program, and whereas said company has provided all the required documentation, are eligible to obtain a License-to-Use the Human Sports Performance® Certification Mark (Seal of Approval) on that specific product.

Manufacturers and distributors may not market any product to consumers bearing the HSP Seal of Approval without full consent from HSP.

HSP conducts blinded random product testing on any supplement that bears the HSP Seal of Approval. If, during random HSP testing, the product analytical screening shows the presence of a banned substance, or any substance not disclosed on the label, HSP will immediately notify the manufacturer/distributor of the breach, and will:
