INFORMED-CHOICE tests supplements and their ingredients for inadvertent contamination with substances prohibited in sport.

Anyone choosing to use a supplement can look for the INFORMED-CHOICE logo on products and know that they have undergone appropriate quality testing, a key requirement for any elite sports person.

INFORMED-CHOICE is the ONLY supplement testing program that uses a WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency)- experienced lab and ISO 17025 accredited analytical methods to analyse for banned substances within top level sports.

Why are tests necessary?

Responsibility for the quality of a product rests entirely with the manufacturer and reputable manufacturers do everything in their power to keep their supplements free of contamination. However, even trace levels of contamination are potentially important and require a sensitivity of testing beyond most routine quality control systems.

The INFORMED-CHOICE standard provides a defined specification based on the very best scientific expertise to both manufacturers and consumers, and re-assurance that products bearing the INFORMED-CHOICE logo can be trusted.

The key issue is that all tests MUST be accredited to the ISO17025 standard for all substances, in all supplement types (powders, liquids, gels, capsules, tablets and bars). Without this, tests to prove the ABSENCE of contamination CANNOT be trusted.
