Informed sports acquisition

It is an international anti-doping certification program operated by British LGC.
This is a program that strictly analyzes, inspects, and tests products to confirm that they do not contain prohibited substances, based on the international standards of anti-doping regulations established by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Like Informed Choice, Informed Sports is an anti-doping certification program operated by the UK-based Laboratory of Government Chemist (LGC) since 2008. LGC has over 50 years of research and experience in doping and has published over 300 scientific papers. Products are analyzed based on WADA's Prohibited List international standards, and major supplement brands from around the world have obtained certification.

Informed Sports Certification not only analyzes supplements but also includes substances on WADA's list of prohibited substances as well as substances deemed necessary by LGC based on the latest information at the time.

The only difference between Informed Sports and Informed Choice is the frequency of product analysis after certification. In addition to the same high-level product analysis performed in ISO17025-certified facilities and manufacturing process audits specific to anti-doping certification, Informed Choice offers monthly random sample analysis conducted by a third party. Analyze and ensure safety and security.

Informed Sports, on the other hand, analyzes all manufacturing batches (full lot analysis). All lots of products that have been given Informed Sports certification have been analyzed, so athletes can use the products at any time with greater peace of mind without having to check the analysis results one by one. The introduction of this feature began in July 2020 for Japanese products.
