NSF GMP for Sport™
NutraPak USA is NSF GMP for Sport™ Registered
Icelandirect operates an NSF GMP for Sport™ registered facility, a designation reserved for manufacturers that meet NSF’s heightened standards for producing supplements intended for athletes. The program builds on NSF GMP Registration, which verifies compliance with FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 111), and adds requirements focused on preventing contamination from banned and prohibited substances. For our clients, this means every product we make is produced in a facility already qualified to support NSF Certified for Sport® product certification.
Maintaining this registration requires passing rigorous on-site audits, which can include unannounced inspections. Auditors review our standard operating procedures, personnel training, sanitation, equipment maintenance, and recall readiness. They also look closely at the controls that matter most for sport products. These include validated equipment cleaning, air handling, and production scheduling that keep sport-sensitive products separated from restricted materials. They also include full lot traceability from the raw material supplier through blending, encapsulation or tableting, and final packaging. Finally, they cover documented supplier qualification, including verification of Certificates of Analysis and identity testing of every incoming ingredient.
For brands pursuing NSF Certified for Sport®, working with a NSF GMP for Sport™ registered facility simplifies the process. Because our facility has already been audited, NSF can move your product directly into formula review and finished product testing instead of starting with a facility evaluation. That means less onboarding friction, lower upfront costs, and a faster path to market, so you can reach athletes, teams, and retailers that require sport certification sooner.

- Review of maintenance, housekeeping, cleaning and sanitization procedures
- Review of sourcing and traceability procedures
- Review of training and qualification programs
