The Board of Medicine Announces the Certification of The Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG)

The Board of Medicine is proud to announce the official certification of the esteemed third-party testing company BSCG for good reason. Until today, no third-party drug testing menu in the world was able to test supplements for over 500 banned substances. Athletes, health enthusiasts, and drug tested employees can feel protected thanks to this unique innovation BSCG has delivered to the world of third-party drug testing.

Hemp extract, which naturally contains phytocannabinoids including cannabidiol (CBD), has become an increasingly popular ingredient in a variety of consumer products including dietary supplements, cosmetics and more. As the category has grown, so have the questions over quality control and regulations. Am I really getting what’s on the label? Will I get high using a CBD product? Can I fail a drug test? BSCG answers the important questions with Certified CBD, the first international CBD certification program to offer banned substance and drug testing protection, label claims and contaminant testing, and a complete audit of quality control and compliance wrapped up in one third-party certification.

WHY THIRD-PARTY TESTING IS VITAL FOR CBD

THC, the psychoactive chemical in cannabis, is a serious concern when it comes to CBD products. Consumers want to know if they will feel ‘high’ or test positive on a drug test when using a supplement. The answer with BSCG’s certified products is always no. BSCG Certified CBD is a complete quality control solution for hemp and CBD product brands. Certification includes: a daily limit on ingestion of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to protect against positive drug tests and psychoactive effects; verification of the amount of CBD and other cannabinoids on the label; screening for 500+ pharmaceutical contaminants including 296 World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited Substances and 209 prescription, OTC and illicit drugs; comprehensive testing for environmental contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, and microbiological agents. It’s the only certification you can truly trust.
