Scottsdale, AZ - Infinity2 Health Sciences, a leader in enzyme-based nutrition, today announced certification of their InfiAid product through NSF International's new Certified for Sport program. InfiAid is the first, and currently the only, supplement on the market certified through this program. This represents a dramatic step for the company that has found its products on the training tables of counteless professional sports teams. |
"This supplement certification program is designed to create a level playing field for all those professional, amateur and youth athletes who are dedicated to fair play in sports," said Kathleen Jordan, MS, RD, general manager, NSF Dietary Supplement Certification Program. "The athletic community has expressed concerns that many supplements may contain undeclared ingredients that could lead to positive testing for banned substances. Our certification program directly addresses these concerns and provides a solution."
The new program has been recommended by key athletic organizations, and is the only athletic banned substance certification program recognized by Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association and Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport to name a few.
Our products were used by the Yankees and countless other teams for over half a decade, but due to a void of nutritional supplement regulations in the past, most major sporting organizations including MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL have stopped allowing supplements in the clubhouses. This program is changing that, says Shan Stratton, Vice President of Sports Marketing for Infinity2. Visit: http://www.ecoquestintl.com/dealer_products/infiaid.asp
In accordance with NSF/ANSI standards, NSF conducted product testing in its own accredited laboratories to ensure that the Infinity2's supplement contents matched label contents, that there were no product ingredients not openly disclosed on the label, and that there were no unacceptable levels of contaminants in the product. InfiAid by Infinity2 successfully met all of these requirements.
We have said for many years that one reason so many teams and athletes continue to use our products is because of the purity and effectiveness of the product, Stratton explains. We have always emphasized health first. Now we have 3rd party confirmation that our products can and should be used for clean and healthy athletic enhancements, without banned substances.
The NSF Certification Mark will initially appear on InfiAid, the company's anti-inflammatory formula, as verification that they have met all program requirements.
There are only a handful of companies even in position to apply for this certification due to the stringent requirements of not only the product, but the manufacturing sites as well. Infinity2's InfiAid is the first dietary supplement in the world to carry this most prestigious seal of Certified For Sports, says Dr. Brent Allan, Infinity2's Medical Director.
