In December 2006, five Sunrider® products, Veros®, Joi®, Top®, Sunrise®, and Korean White Ginseng, were granted certification by the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) http://bscg.org/index.php, a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratory that tests for banned substances. This certification allows the Sunrider-sponsored Israeli Olympic Team to use these products as they train for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Sunrider also has approval to use the BSCG logo and disclaimer on the labels of these five certified products, which join a list of fifteen other Sunrider® products that have previously been approved by the Israeli Olympic Committee for use by its Olympic athletes.
BSCG is the only certification program in the United States that uses a WADA-accredited laboratory for all analyses. Supplements certified by BSCG give their users greater confidence in knowing that a manufacturer is taking proper precautions to ensure that harmful anabolic agents, stimulants, and other potentially dangerous banned substances are not contained in their products.
