Informed Ingredient

Product description

Reputable suppliers can certify their raw materials and ingredients with Informed Ingredient in order to help companies easily identify them as having appropriate quality systems and testing in place to ensure the integrity of supplied ingredients.

For suppliers of ingredients destined for sports supplements, the risk of contamination with low levels of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is a serious issue. The Informed Ingredient programme was created by LGC, an industry leader in quality assurance and testing of sports nutrition ingredients for WADA-banned substances. It enables ingredient suppliers to have confidence in both the ingredient and also in respect of the quality control procedures in place at the manufacturing facility to reduce the risk of contamination.
