Most beverages aren’t required to undergo third-party banned substance testing. FITAID chooses to do it anyway.
Every FITAID® product is independently tested through Informed Choice® or Informed Sport®, two globally recognized certification programs operated by LGC Science. These programs screen products for substances banned by major sporting organizations and require ongoing manufacturing oversight.
Informed Choice applies to most FITAID products and includes risk assessment, facility review, and random batch testing. Informed Sport—used for the FITAID Recovery Collection—requires every batch to be tested prior to release and screens against the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
Testing certificates are available for review.
No vague assurances. Just independent verification.
