CRN associate member TruShield Certified has officially launched, ready to protect athlete and consumer performance as well as safeguard manufacturer brands.

TruShield Certified is a groundbreaking certification program that sets a new standard in banned substance testing.

By the numbers: The program tests for the presence of over 400 banned substances and is intentionally designed to complement, not duplicate, existing GMP, label claim, and contaminant testing, setting it apart from traditional testing programs on the market.

  • TruShield’s differentiator is its unmatched expertise in testing blood and urine for prohibited substances—a method trusted by professional sports leagues and Olympic organizations. TruShield stands apart from general labs by focusing exclusively on testing the most current list of banned substances. This singular focus ensures reliability and accuracy, leveraging ISO17025-accredited methods.

The TruShield Program is backed by U.S.-based laboratory Eagle Diagnostics with extensive experience in substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency. 

What they’re saying: “With over 20 years of banned substance testing and program development, I built TruShield Certified to meet the real-world needs of sports organizations and supplements brands who can’t afford to take chances,” said SVP, Certification Services Lori Bestervelt. “Our proven track record in anti-doping and banned substance detection has fueled our expansion into finished product testing. It’s not just about testing—it’s about trust. Delivered by scientists with deep anti-doping expertise and the most current and relevant list of banned substances.”
