Supplements for Athletes

Effects on the body

We all know that exercising is very good for us and a lot of fun, but it also requires a few things from the body. Whether you are a professional elite athlete or a recreational athlete: muscles and joints sometimes have to put up with quite a bit, injuries are lurking and we need to keep the energy supply at the cellular level well. In addition to recuperation (recovery), our endurance obviously plays a big role if we want to enjoy sports.

Guaranteed doping-free supplements for athletes

Some of the products on this page have the American NSF or the Dutch NZVT certification for sport. Using the filters (green button on the top right) you can select these products.

For elite athletes, it is very important to only use nutritional supplements that are free of banned substances. There is too much is at stake - reputation and integrity - and too many hours of dedication have been invested to risk using a compromised dietary supplement.

With an independent certification, such as NSF Certified for Sport or NZVT, an athlete is assured that the product in question has been tested by an independent and officially recognized third party for the absence of banned substances (doping).

In addition, this certification is the guarantee that the product contains exactly what is declared on the label. Nothing more and nothing less.

How does a product receive NSF Certified Sports status?

First of all, the manufacturer must have GMP registration. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice and is issued by the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation).

Then the content of each finished products is tested to verify that claims and composition as stated on the label are met, and to verify that it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants.

Next, each production batch of the product in question is tested for the absence of more than 300 substances banned by major sports and anti-doping organizations.
