NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2024 - CON-CRĒT® Creatine HCl from Vireo Systems recently earned certification from NSF's Certified for Sport® program. NSF is a global public health organization that tests and certifies products to help protect athletes and consumers from potentially harmful ingredients and athletic banned substances in dietary supplements. CON-CRĒT creatine HCl powders and capsules all received the NSF certification.
CON-CRĒT engages in the highest level of third-party certification and quality assurance. In addition to the NSF certification, all the brand's products are proudly made and manufactured in the United States in a cutting-edge Safe Quality Food (SQF) and FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified facility, ensuring each product meets rigorous quality control measures at every step of production.
Products earning Certified for Sport® accreditation are tested for 280 athletic banned substances as well as potentially harmful levels of specific contaminants like lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals. Product formulation, label claims and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance are also verified as part of this rigorous supplement certification program.
NSF's Certified for Sport® program helps athletes and consumers make more knowledgeable and confident decisions when choosing supplements. Major League Baseball, the NHL and other professional leagues and teams provide and recommend products that are Certified for Sport® and players are urged to use only these certified products. The Certified for Sport® certification is also recommended by the NFL, PGA, LPGA, CCES, CPSDA and Taylor Hooton Foundation as well as many other sports organizations.
"At CON-CRĒT, we are committed to providing the highest quality, third-party-tested, American-made supplements," said Mark Faulkner, CEO of Vireo Systems.
