Why FITAID Uses Informed Choice® and Informed Sport® Certification
When testing matters, going halfway isn’t an option.
Every FITAID® product is independently tested through Informed Choice® or Informed Sport®—two of the most respected third-party testing and certification programs in the world. These programs exist to verify that products are screened for banned substances and manufactured with accountability and consistency.
No internal shortcuts.
No vague assurances.
Just independent verification you can trust.
What this means at a glance:
- Third-party certified
- Independently tested
- Batch testing in place
- Certificates available for review
What Does “Informed” Testing Mean?
Informed Choice® and Informed Sport® are global certification programs operated by LGC Science, a leading life sciences and analytical testing organization.
In plain terms, “Informed” testing means:
- Products are tested by independent, accredited laboratories
- Ingredients and finished products are screened against banned substance lists
- Testing is ongoing, not one-and-done
- Certification requires manufacturing oversight and accountability
These programs are widely recognized across sports, fitness, and performance communities—especially by athletes who need certainty about what they consume.
This isn’t internal testing. This is independent verification.
Informed Choice® vs. Informed Sport®
Two Certifications. One Standard: Trust.
FITAID products are certified under either Informed Choice® or Informed Sport®, depending on the product line and intended use.

Why FITAID Chooses Third-Party Testing
Third-party testing is not required for most beverages.
FITAID chooses it anyway.
Why?
- Transparency builds trust
- Athletes deserve certainty
- Quality should be provable, not implied
By using Informed Choice and Informed Sport, FITAID does not rely on internal claims alone. Every certified product is reviewed and tested by independent experts with no stake in the outcome.
If it can’t pass third-party testing, it doesn’t pass our standards.
What This Means for You
When you choose FITAID, you’re choosing products that offer:
- Independent third-party testing
- Clear accountability from ingredient to can
- Certifications recognized internationally
- The ability to review testing documentation yourself
This isn’t blind trust.
It’s confidence backed by proof.
Tested.
Verified.
Nothing to hide.
Full Transparency: Testing Certificates Available
Transparency shouldn’t be a promise—it should be accessible.
That’s why FITAID makes testing certificates available to view, allowing you to see:
- Which certification applies to each product
- How often testing occurs

Consumers deserve access to the same information athletes rely on.
