Over the course of three decades, the Catlins gained renowned and prestige over their analytical testing of work out supplements and international sport drug testing. Often described as a father of drug testing in sports, Dr. Don Catlin founded the first anti-doping lab in the United States in 1982 and established testing methods and approaches that remain the Olympic standard today. The Catlin team has provided testing services to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), MLB, NFL, NCAA, the U.S. military, several Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.

Here are some other major contributions the Catlins and BSCG have made:

• First to call attention to the use of the dangerous designer stimulant Methylhexaneamine as an ingredient in work out supplements, in a Washington Post article in 2006, leading to the ultimate removal of this compound from supplement products.
• Provided analytical and legal consulting as part of government action to identify and expose designer drugs used in work out supplements like the aromatase inhibitor 6-OXO and the designer steroid ‘Tren’.
• Led efforts to identify and eliminate the sale of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Class III Controlled Substances in online outlets including Amazon.com and other distributors and fortify supplement quality control.
• Dr. Catlin developed the first sport drug-testing laboratory in the United States in 1982, and for 25 years built and managed drug testing programs for the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), MLB, NFL, NCAA, U.S. military and performed testing for several Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.

Ensuring the authenticity and safety of dietary supplements is paramount for consumers seeking reliable health support. Through rigorous supplement verification processes, manufacturers aim to provide assurance regarding the quality and accuracy of their products. Third-party supplement testing plays a crucial role in this endeavor, employing comprehensive analyses to validate ingredient authenticity, assess label accuracy, and verify compliance with safety standards. Consumers can confidently rely on certified supplements, knowing that they have undergone thorough supplement quality assurance protocols to uphold their efficacy and safety.

Supplement authentication programs offer consumers peace of mind by implementing robust supplement testing methodologies. These initiatives encompass various measures, including supplement batch testing and ingredient analysis, to verify the integrity of each product. Through supplement certification programs, manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to supplement quality control, assuring consumers of label accuracy and ingredient purity. By leveraging verified supplements, consumers can make informed choices about their health and wellness, confident in the reliability and safety of the products they choose to incorporate into their daily routines.
