SALT LAKE CITY, July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SOUL, Rain
International's flagship product–a drinkable shot of cold-pressed
seeds hailed for its high concentration of anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant compounds–has been certified by BSCG (Banned Substances
Control Group) through its Certified Drug Free® program, announced
today by BSCG and Rain. This certification program also
incorporates a thorough toxicology review and ingredient
evaluation, a 21 C.F.R. 11 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
quality control process review, as well as random testing for
certified products.
"We are proud to have BSCG certify SOUL for use by consumers and
athletes," said Byron Belka, CEO of
Rain International. "BSCG is the industry standard in testing and
certifying supplements and supplement manufacturers."
The BSCG Certified Drug Free® program tests for 272 drugs banned
in sport. This offers security to athletes and professionals across
the spectrum of WADA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA, PGA, LPGA, MLS,
ATP, WTA, FIFA, FINA, AFL, NRL, NASCAR, UFC, CrossFit, NCAA,
military, law enforcement, and other drug-testing programs. BSCG is
the only certification provider to cover an additional 211
prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit drugs not banned in
sport, which provides further consumer protection from other means
of potential contamination.
"SOUL samples were tested by BSCG for a complete list of drugs
prohibited by many professional and collegiate sports organizations
and other drug-testing programs, and no prohibited compounds were
detected," stated Oliver Catlin,
President of BSCG, in Los Angeles.
"Now, SOUL packaging can carry the BSCG Certified Drug Free® seal
to show consumers that Rain and its products meet rigorous quality
standards above and beyond industry requirements." All BSCG
certified products with their specific lots can be found online in
a regularly updated database at
http://www.bscg.org/certified-drug-free-supplements?rain-international.
Even though supplement use is on the rise, according to industry
trends, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) does not test the
majority of supplements. Untested products can be dangerous, and
athletes are held accountable for any banned substance found
through drug tests, regardless of its origin. No BSCG Certified
Drug Free® product has ever resulted in a failed drug test.
"In this day and age, we have to be very careful about what we
take into our bodies," said Belka. "A significant number of people
take supplements on a consistent basis, so we do everything
possible to ensure that our products are 100% safe and
effective."
BSCG (Banned Substances Control Group) is a highly regarded
third-party dietary supplement certification provider developed and
run by renowned sports anti-doping pioneer Don Catlin, M.D., and his son, respected
industry executive Oliver
Catlin.
