The Program Focuses on Ensuring Dietary Supplements and Functional Food and Beverage Applications are Free from the Most Current and Relevant List of Banned Substances
April 29th, South Jordan, UT – Eagle Diagnostics, the subsidiary of the preferred testing laboratory for professional sports leagues and Olympic teams, announced today the launch of TruShield™ Certified—a groundbreaking certification program that sets a new standard in banned substance testing. The program is a step ahead in detecting the most current list of banned substances athletes are most at risk for, often before they hit the mainstream. 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. The program offers a new level of assurance, leveraging its 20+ years of experience in banned testing for brands, athletes, professionals, and consumers who demand transparency and trust. The streamlined focus results in faster turnaround times and cost-effective testing, without sacrificing accuracy.
The TruShield Program is backed by a U.S.-based laboratory with extensive experience in substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). 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 program screens for over 400 banned substances, including those found on the Amazon adulterated list, as well as compounds of concern that are critical for anti-doping compliance.
The program is built on protecting athletes and consumers’ performance as well as safeguarding manufacturers’ brands. Dedicated anti-doping scientists drive the testing laboratory’s specialized expertise focused exclusively on banned substances rather than broad testing with anti-doping methodologies unavailable at general testing labs. For athletes, the approach eliminates the risk of inadvertent positive tests by continuously updating testing protocols to stay ahead of newly identified prohibited substances. For manufacturers, the certification provides assurance, allowing brands to feature their commitment to safety and quality.
“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 Lori Bestervelt, Sr. VP of Certification Services. “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.”
