CELSIUS® Earns NSF Certified for Sport® Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Product Safety and Transparency
The certification confirms that certified CELSIUS products are independently tested for more than 300 substances banned by major athletic organizations and verified to contain the ingredients and amounts listed on the label, giving professional and collegiate athletes, coaches, trainers and everyday consumers an independent point of reference when evaluating products.
“As the functional beverage category continues to evolve, third-party verification is becoming increasingly important for consumers, retailers, and partners,” said Kyle Watson, Chief Brand Officer for CELSIUS. “Achieving NSF Certified for Sport® status reinforces our commitment to transparency, rigorous quality standards, and delivering a product that meets the expectations of today’s competitive and performance-driven marketplace.”
For sports performance professionals, NSF Certified for Sport® offers a practical way to assess product integrity and support informed product-selection decisions. Coaches, trainers and athletes can learn more about the certification and certified CELSIUS products on the CELSIUS NSF Certified for Sport® website.
“For athletes, knowing exactly what you’re putting into your body is an important part of responsible sports nutrition,” commented Carissa Galloway, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. “CELSIUS NSF Certified for Sport® certification provides an additional layer of confidence in product quality, which is a positive step toward giving athletes greater assurance when choosing a product.”
CELSIUS marked the milestone by hosting its inaugural Athlete Summit from July 8–10 in Miami, Fla. The three-day gathering brought together elite competitors from the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and professional sports, along with educational programming led by nutrition and fitness coach Dr. Joey Munoz, PhD, and Jim Starr, Director of Client Engagement, Nutrition and Wellness at NSF. Through expert-led workshops, community-building activities and content creation, the summit explored how third-party certification can support informed product choices and stronger conversations within the athletics community.
Participating athletes included:
- Syracuse University basketball player Kiyan Anthony
- Louisiana State University gymnast Konnor McClain
- Pennsylvania State University volleyball player Kennedy Martin
- University of Nebraska volleyball player Laney Choboy
- Seattle Torrent hockey player Lexie Adzija
“NSF is proud to welcome CELSIUS to our growing NSF Certified for Sport® program, the only independent third-party certification program recognized by USADA and trusted throughout the sports community,” said Chris Kirwin, Senior Director, Nutrition and Wellness, NSF. “NSF Certified for Sport® builds on our commitment to quality, safety and label accuracy. By achieving this certification, CELSIUS demonstrates its commitment to clean sport and to athletes who increasingly seek scientifically verified products that are manufactured in facilities that adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) supporting the production of safe, high-quality supplements.”
