THIRD PARTY TESTED
Buff Chick Supplements are BSCG Certified
Drug Free
Buff Chick Supplements are manufactured in cGMP certified and FDA registered facilities in the US. Beyond manufacturing, all supplements undergo registration, testing, and certification with BSCG.
BSCG (Banned Substances Control Group) is a leading independent third-party dietary supplement certification provider. Each and every batch of our supplements are tested, which you can always verify on the BSCG website.
Worth Knowing: The supplement industry lacks comprehensive regulations, which is why third-party testing matters. We go beyond the minimum to ensure every product meets strict quality standards.
THE BSCG DIFFERENCE
The BSCG Certified Drug Free third-party certification program for banned substances offers the broadest protection available in the nutrition industry to athletes and everyday consumers. Their gold-standard testing menu covers 276 banned substances in sport, as well as 220 prescription, over-the-counter, and illicit drugs that no other third-party group covers.
WADA PROHIBITED LIST
BSCG tests for drugs on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List and other sport and military drug-testing banned substance lists as well as compounds the U.S. FDA has identified in their tainted supplement list.
GLOBAL RECOGNITION
BSCG is an international leader in third-party certification and is acknowledged by the following groups; UFC, NBA, LPGA, NIH-ODS, the Department of Defense Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS), USOC Sports Nutrition, CrossFit, Drug Free Sport, USA Triathlon, Sports Nutrition and Dietitians Japan (SNDJ), Anti-Doping Authority Netherlands, High Performance Sport New Zealand, New Zealand Defense Force Health, Canadian Sport Institute, IMG Academy, and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
HEAVY METALS & QUALITY TESTING
Our Commitment to Safety
Certificate of Analysis from Our Manufacturers
Beyond banned substance testing, each batch of Buff Chick Supplements undergoes comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) testing conducted by our manufacturers. This testing includes:
• Heavy Metals Testing - Screening for lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium
• pH Levels - Ensuring optimal product formulation
• Microbiology - Testing for harmful bacteria and pathogens
Understanding Heavy Metals in Supplements
Heavy metals like arsenic and mercury exist naturally in soil, water, and plants. Trace amounts appear in nearly all plant-based foods, so their presence in protein powders isn't unnatural. The levels found in quality protein powders are typically much lower than what you'd find in common fruits and vegetables.
Our Commitment to Safety
While many supplement brands don't conduct third-party testing, transparency comes first at Buff Chick. Our dual-layer testing approach—BSCG certification for banned substances AND manufacturer COA testing for heavy metals and quality markers—ensures you can feel confident that your protein powder is safe for regular consumption.
