NOVA Earns NSF’s Certified for Sport® Certification

NOVA, a scientifically-backed and clinically tried wellness brand, is proud to announce that their product, Breakthrough, recently earned certification from the NSF’s Certified for Sport® program. NSF is a global public health organization that tests and certifies products to help protect athletes and consumers from potentially harmful ingredients and athletic-banned substances in dietary supplements.

Breakthrough, NOVA's flagship product, is a revolutionary drink mix combining cutting-edge technology and clinically-tried ingredients. Its unique formulation, designed for women's wellness, harnesses the power of adaptogenic mushrooms, Rhodiola Rosea, and DehydraTech, an internationally patented technology to reduce onset time and increase nutrient absorption.

 

Achieving NSF-S certification is a monumental accomplishment for NOVA, legitimizing the brand as pioneers in women's wellness. This esteemed certification not only recognizes NOVA’s commitment to quality and safety but also underscores its dedication to empowering women and women in sports with trustworthy, science-backed wellness products.

 

For NOVA’s customers, this NSF-S certification is more than just a seal; it's a promise of unparalleled quality and transparency. It ensures that every Breakthrough stick pack is exactly as it appears on the label—delivering a meticulously crafted blend that aligns with unwavering commitment to women's health. 

Products earning Certified for Sport® certification are tested for 280 athletic banned substances as well as potentially harmful levels of specific contaminants like lead and arsenic. Product formulation, label claims and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance are also verified as part of this rigorous supplement certification program.

NSF’s Certified for Sport® program helps athletes and consumers make more knowledgeable decisions when choosing supplements. MLB, NHL and CFL clubs provide and recommend products that are Certified for Sport® and players are urged to use only these certified products. The Certified for Sport® certification is also recommended by the NFL, PGA, LPGA, CCES, CPSDA and Taylor Hooton Foundation as well as many other sports organizations.

"As the founder of NOVA, the attainment of the NSF-S certification for Breakthrough is a momentous leap in our journey. This isn't just a certification; it's a beacon of trust and an emblem of our relentless pursuit of excellence," said CEO and founder of NOVA, Kathryn Robinson. "I'm thrilled about this achievement and the empowerment it brings to every woman who chooses Breakthrough. It's more than a product; it's a partner in every woman's quest for triumph and well-being."

With certification, NOVA’s Breakthrough is included in NSF’s online listing of certified products and on the Certified for Sport® app. The app features enhanced search capabilities, side-by-side product comparisons and a UPC barcode scanner to find Certified for Sport® supplements.

"NSF welcomes Breakthrough to the Certified for Sport® program," said David Trosin, Managing Director, Health Sciences Certification at NSF. "NSF is committed to protecting and improving human health worldwide. By meeting our rigorous Certified for Sport® requirements, NOVA is demonstrating its commitment to clean sport as well as quality, safety and good manufacturing processes."
