How Supplements Become NSF Certified
NSF certifies products against NSF/ANSI 173, the only American National Standard that establishes requirements for the ingredients in dietary and nutritional supplements. There are three main components of the NSF dietary supplements certification program:
- Label claim review to certify that what’s on the label is in the bottle
- Toxicology review to certify product formulation (we don’t test for efficacy)
- Contaminant review to ensure the product contains no undeclared ingredients or unacceptable levels of contaminants
