Supplements are one of the leading causes of failed anti-doping tests in Australia with approximately one athlete testing positive every month.
ASADA’s long standing advice is that no supplement is safe to use and athletes should not risk their careers by taking a supplement. This is because many supplements are contaminated with substances prohibited in sport, which may not be listed on ingredient labels.
However, ASADA recognises that there may be circumstances where sports dieticians recommend supplements, or where athletes use supplements regardless of the risk.
In these circumstances, ASADA’s advice is that athletes should only use supplements which have been screened for prohibited substances by an independent company, such as HASTA or Informed Sport. Supplements screened by these companies cannot offer a 100% guarantee that an athlete will not test positive, but they are significantly less risky than other supplements.
NUTRAVIVA's Beef Collagen has been tested by HASTA and we can provide you with a Certificate to show that there were no WADA banned substances detected in that batch, making it a safer choice for competing athletes.
