This certification really underscores our commitment to safety and trust, ensuring that athletes can use our products with complete confidence.
People ask me all the time why we went through such a rigorous process to achieve the NSF Certified for Sport® label. While I’m not playing sports like I used to, I’m still active, working out, and being a dad—and that comes with its share of aches and pains. Over the last few years, I’ve dealt with injuries and tried many products that didn’t quite do the job. That’s what led me to explore topicals for their my recovery routine. Once I saw how effective they were, it inspired me to create something unique that I’d trust for my own family and that our customers could rely on.
My journey to getting that NSF Certified for Sport® label really kicked off at the end of 2024. We had to find a production company that met all the stringent requirements of proper certification to even have a discussion with NSF. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Before we even started production in early 2025, we had to handle all the backend work—getting label claims approved, documenting every ingredient, and making sure everything was compliant. The testing phase alone took months to ensure there were no contaminants and that the product met every standard.
In total, it took about eight months, and it was a detailed, sometimes challenging journey. But it’s absolutely worth it because we’re committed to building trust and offering a product that’s truly safe and effective. We’re doing this for our customers, and yes, a little selfishly for my own family, because if it works for us, I know it will work for everyone else too.
