USA Made Natural Astaxanthin Leader, AstaReal® Completes Informed-Choice and Informed-Sport Program, Certifying Two Key Products
BURLINGTON, N.J. (PRWEB) March 08, 2018 -- In keeping with its mission of supplying end consumers and supplement manufacturers with the purest of ingredients, AstaReal, the all-natural producer and supplier of Astaxanthin, has successfully completed the Informed-Choice and Informed-Sport quality assurance program, stating that it remains free of banned substances.
Following rigorous quality assurance testing and monitoring, AstaReal has gained certification for two of its key products, L10 and CWS25, by LGC’s world-class sports anti-doping lab, making it a solid choice for sports nutrition supplement product brands seeking ingredients that are clean and free of any raw materials prohibited for use in sport. L10 is the USA-made 10% oleoresin that is a mainstay for softgel capsules, with additional applications in chocolate and gummies. CWS25 is the new 2.5% cold water-soluble powder that can be used in stick packs, and instant drink that are especially popular for sports applications.
As the global leader in natural astaxanthin production, AstaReal joins other highly regarded international brands, including Isagenix, Vega, EAS, and more, all of which have obtained this critical Informed-Choice and Informed-Sport certification for their ingredients as well.
With this new certification, AstaReal remains dedicated to providing first-rate product quality and superior value, as it has recently shown with its successful certifications granted by USP, through its Ingredient Verification Program for dietary ingredients; The Paleo Foundation, with AstaReal becoming the only natural Astaxanthin producer to become Paleo and KETO certified; as well as from the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), crowning it an exclusive NASC preferred producer of natural Astaxanthin for use in pet supplementation.
