SSP Nutrition commits to quality control above and beyond dietary supplement industry standards by participating in the BSCG Certified Drug Free® supplement certification program. SSP Nutrition lots below have been certified to be free of 485 drugs. This includes 274 drugs banned in sport and an additional 211 prescription, over-the counter, and illicit drugs not banned in sport. The BSCG Certified Drug Free® program requires either every finished lot to be certified, or monthly certification. When it comes to drugs banned in sport, the BSCG Certified Drug Free® Testing Menu targets drugs on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List. The WADA Prohibited List governs Olympic sport and is used by all national anti-doping organizations (NADOs) including ASADA, UKAD, and USADA. It serves as a model for sport federations, professional leagues, college, military, and vocational drug testing programs, which ban many of the compounds on the WADA Prohibited List. The SSP Nutrition lots below provide maximum security to general consumers, as well as to athletes and professionals across the spectrum of WADA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA, PGA, LPGA, MLS, ATP, WTA, FIFA, FINA, AFL, NRL, NASCAR, UFC, CrossFit, NCAA, military, law enforcement, and other drug-testing  programs.
