Understanding NSF Contents Certified
About NSF
NSF is an independent and accredited nongovernmental organization whose mission is to protect and improve global human health. NSF facilitates the development of public health and safety standards, and tests and certifies products and systems to those standards.
Certified products earn the NSF mark, which is respected by consumers, manufacturers, retailers and regulatory agencies. Deeply rooted in science, NSF is widely recognized as the "gold standard" for quality in such areas as water systems, food safety and health sciences including dietary supplements.
With so many choices on the dietary supplement market, it pays to buy certified products. NSF facilitated the development and maintains the nation's first truly independent testing standard and product certification program strictly for dietary supplements, NSF/ANSI 173.
The NSF Contents Certified mark on a supplement label can help simplify your decision. Products that bear NSF Contents Certified mark have undergone a rigorous process of third-party testing and evaluation.
