The IOC does not endorse any supplements and advise caution to
athletes wanting to use them. Do not believe everything you read on the
label! Manufacturers are often aware of the competitiveness of sport
and the continual striving to achieve. Many market their products by
relying on personal endorsements by well-known sportspeople or
anecdotal evidence, neither of which may be based on scientific studies
or reliable evidence.
If you are concerned about what is in your supplements, you should make sure they have been tested by a reputable lab like the NSF, HFL, Informed Sport or Informed Choice.
Six of Usana's nutritional supplements are currently listed with Informed-Sport and the NSF Certified For Sport, a
supplement testing program designed to test supplements and their
ingredients for inadvertent contamination with substances prohibited in
sport.
USANA’s safe and high-quality products have
helped it become the official supplement provider of premier athletic
organizations including US Speedskating, Speed Skating Canada, Biathlon
Canada, Cross Country Canada, USA Luge, USA Bobsled and the elite
athletes of the WTA Sony Ericsson Tour.
At a time when many athletes are concerned that taking a supplement
could jeopardize their ability to qualify for competition, USANA has
stepped forward to create a powerful athlete guarantee. The company has
entered into agreements with select Olympic athletes that guarantee that
should an athlete test positive for a banned substance as a result of
taking a USANA nutritional product, USANA will compensate the athlete up
to two times his or her earnings up to $1 million. USANA proves its
commitment to athletes and its confidence in its products by offering
the same guarantee to the elite tennis players of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
