Raw Sport Quality, Testing & Certifications

Premium Sports Nutrition. Manufactured in the UK. Independently Tested.

At Raw Sport, we believe that what goes into your body matters just as much as the results you want to achieve.

Whether you're training for muscle growth, improving your sporting performance, supporting recovery or simply looking to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle, the quality of your nutrition is important.

That's why we focus on premium ingredients, UK manufacturing, independent laboratory testing and recognised sports nutrition certifications.

Our goal is simple: to make high-quality, responsibly manufactured sports nutrition accessible at competitive prices.

Proudly Manufactured in the United Kingdom

Raw Sport sports nutrition products are manufactured in the UK, with an emphasis on product quality, consistency and responsible production.

UK manufacturing supports our approach to quality assurance and gives us greater visibility over the production of our protein powders and performance supplements.

Our range includes:

• Grass-fed whey protein powders

• Native whey protein

• Vegan and plant-based protein powders

• Creatine and performance supplements

• Recovery nutrition

• Sports nutrition for younger athletes through our RSYN range

Product ingredients, manufacturing information and certifications should always be checked on the individual product page.

Independently Tested for Quality and Safety

We understand that customers want to know more than simply how much protein a product contains.

They also want confidence in the quality of the ingredients and the standards used to manufacture their supplements.

Raw Sport's quality assurance programme includes independent third-party laboratory testing, with contaminant screening relevant to the product.

Testing may include heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other quality parameters.

The testing performed and available documentation can vary between products and batches.

Heavy Metal Testing

Heavy metals can occur naturally in the environment and may be present in agricultural ingredients, including those used in protein powders and food supplements.

Raw Sport includes heavy-metal screening within its quality testing programme to assess relevant contaminants against applicable safety standards.

This testing is an important part of evaluating ingredient and finished-product quality.

Heavy-metal testing does not necessarily mean that a product contains absolutely zero detectable traces. Results should be interpreted against the relevant analytical limits and safety requirements.

Pesticide and Herbicide Screening

Agricultural ingredients may be exposed to pesticides or herbicides during cultivation.

Raw Sport's testing programme includes screening for relevant pesticide and herbicide residues.

This helps us assess product quality and monitor potential contaminants within our ingredient supply chain.

Where available, laboratory documentation can provide further information about the specific substances screened and the results obtained.

Independent Laboratory Testing

Independent third-party testing provides an additional layer of scrutiny beyond internal manufacturing checks.

It can help assess product quality, verify relevant specifications and identify potential contaminants.

Customers seeking details of testing for a particular product should consult its product page or contact Raw Sport customer services.

Informed Sport Certified Supplements

For professional and elite athletes, supplement selection involves additional considerations.

Athletes competing in drug-tested sports must be particularly careful about the risk of inadvertently consuming prohibited substances.

Raw Sport offers selected products certified through Informed Sport, an internationally recognised sports supplement testing and certification programme.

Informed Sport certification includes:

• Testing of every batch of certified products for a range of substances prohibited in sport

• Manufacturing quality assurance assessments

• Ongoing programme requirements

• Product and batch verification through the Informed Sport programme

Certification helps reduce the risk of contamination with prohibited substances, although no supplement testing programme can eliminate every possible risk.

Important: Informed Sport certification applies to specific products and batches. It should never be assumed that every Raw Sport supplement is certified.

Sports Nutrition for Professional Footballers, Rugby Players and Elite Athletes

Raw Sport understands the nutritional demands of competitive sport.

Whether you play professional football, rugby, compete in athletics, train in a high-performance environment or participate in Olympic-level sport, choosing supplements with appropriate quality assurance is important.

Our selected Informed Sport certified products provide an option for athletes who want independently tested sports nutrition.

These products may be relevant to:

• Professional and academy footballers

• Professional rugby union and rugby league players

• Olympic and international-level athletes

• Professional and amateur athletes in drug-tested competitions

• Strength and conditioning programmes

• High-performance training environments

Athletes should always check the current certification status of the exact product and batch, review its ingredients, and follow their club's, governing body's or anti-doping organisation's supplement policies.

Informed Sport certification is not a guarantee that a supplement is risk-free or automatically approved by every sporting organisation.

Quality Sports Nutrition for Everyday Training

Independent testing and high manufacturing standards are not only relevant to professional athletes.

They matter to anyone who takes nutrition seriously.

Whether you're starting at the gym, training for a marathon, building muscle, managing your calorie intake or following a plant-based diet, choosing supplements from a brand that prioritises ingredient quality and transparency can help you make informed decisions.

Raw Sport offers whey protein, plant-based protein, creatine and other performance nutrition products to support different dietary preferences and training goals.

Premium Ingredients. Competitive Prices.

We believe premium sports nutrition should not have to come with an unnecessarily high price tag.

Raw Sport aims to combine high-quality ingredients, UK manufacturing, independent testing and carefully developed formulations with pricing that remains competitive in the sports nutrition market.

We want customers to evaluate their supplements on ingredient quality, suitability, testing credentials and value — not marketing claims alone.
