LGC’s testing specifications were developed based on analysis of over 55,000 supplement samples and research into supplement contamination levels and positive drug tests in professional sports worldwide. LGC’s supplement and dietary component testing capabilities include analysis of a wide range of prohibited substances (steroids, stimulants, diuretics, masking agents, etc.).
LGC has identified 147 key substances that can occur as contaminants in supplements, and these are tested using ISO17025 certified methods. All of these substances are on the WADA Prohibited List, as well as on the lists of organizations such as the NFL, NCAA, MLB, NBA, MLS, PGA, and NHL.
The company said in a press release that random tests conducted on Perfect Amino (lot number 6H48) found that none of these substances were present.
A company spokesperson said the company plans to obtain LGC’s “Informed Choice/Informed Sport” certification in the near future.
