Science in Sport (SiS) and Informed Sport: A Commitment to Quality and Trust

When it comes to sports nutrition, quality assurance and safety are critical—especially for athletes who rely on these products to support peak performance. Science in Sport (SiS) is a leader in the industry with an unrivaled approach to banned substance testing, certified by Informed Sport, the gold standard in sports nutrition quality assurance.

What is Informed Sport Certification?

Informed Sport is a globally recognized quality assurance program for sports nutrition products. Managed by LGC, a world-class anti-doping lab, this certification guarantees that every product bearing the Informed-Sport logo has been rigorously tested for banned substances. SiS takes this a step further by ensuring that not only their products but also their facilities meet these high standards, making SiS the only UK-based sports nutrition brand with both Informed Sport Site and Product Certifications.

The Science in Sport Quality Assurance Process

SiS has developed a multi-layered quality control process, making it a trusted brand for professional and Olympic athletes worldwide. The company’s commitment to safety is built on five key pillars:

• 100% Batch Testing: Every single batch of SiS products is tested against the 2020 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) list. This includes testing for banned substances such as steroids (down to 10 nanograms per gram) and stimulants (down to 100 nanograms per gram).
• Full Traceability: SiS maintains a rigorous traceability system, tracking raw materials from the original supplier through every stage of production to ensure quality and safety.
• Pre-Production Ingredient Screening: Ingredients undergo pre-production testing based on a Risk-Based Evaluation, meeting the same stringent standards as finished products.
• Supplier Audits and Inspections: SiS audits all ingredient suppliers annually and conducts thorough inspections of its production facility in Nelson, Lancashire, including regular swab testing.
• Transparent Documentation: SiS provides documentation for each batch, ensuring athletes can trust the products they consume.
