Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Science-Verified" mean on Supplement Science?

A brand earns our Science-Verified designation by meeting four objective criteria: third-party testing at accredited labs, no proprietary blends (full ingredient disclosure), clinical dosing aligned with published research, and publicly available Certificates of Analysis. Sports Research meets three of four criteria — COAs are available upon request but not published publicly.

Is Sports Research third-party tested?

Yes. Sports Research products undergo third-party testing for purity and potency. Many products carry Non-GMO Project Verification, and select products have additional certifications like Informed Choice (banned substance testing for athletes) and USDA Organic.

Why does Sports Research use coconut oil in their softgels?

Many Sports Research supplements use organic coconut oil as a carrier in their softgels. This serves a functional purpose: fat-soluble nutrients (like vitamin D, CoQ10, and astaxanthin) absorb significantly better when taken with dietary fat. The coconut oil provides this fat matrix directly in the capsule, eliminating the need to take supplements with a meal.

How does Sports Research compare to premium brands like Thorne or Life Extension?

Sports Research occupies the mid-tier price point with strong quality standards. They use branded ingredients (KSM-66, Creapure, Suntheanine, Superba2) similar to premium brands but at lower price points. The main differentiator is that Thorne and Life Extension publish COAs publicly and have deeper clinical research programs, while Sports Research focuses on accessibility and value.

Where can I buy Sports Research products?

Sports Research products are available on Amazon and directly from sportsresearch.com. Their Amazon storefront has the most reviews and often the best pricing with Subscribe & Save discounts. Our affiliate links go to Amazon for convenience and buyer protection.
