According to NSF International® (the independent, not-for-profit organization that provides standards, development and product certification for public health and the environment), professional athletes and supplements are under increasing scrutiny due to accidental doping from contaminated supplements. Available exclusively from qualified healthcare professionals, coaches and trainers, Klean Athlete combines the expertise of doctors and athletes to create a line of nutritional supplements that support peak athletic performance while guaranteeing a clean product. Manufactured by Douglas Laboratories—the trusted choice of healthcare professionals for superior quality, science-based nutritional supplements for over 50 years and an Emerson Quality Program℠ (EQP) Gold Partner—the Klean Athlete line contains seven nutritional supplements: Klean Multivitamin™, Klean Antioxidant™, Klean Cognitive™, Klean Probiotic™, Klean Isolate™, Klean Electrolytes™ and Klean Endurance™.

Emerson Ecologics is a one-stop shop for practitioners and their patients offering the most comprehensive range of high-quality dietary supplements, with thousands of products from over 275 of the world's top brands. The full Klean Athlete line is available to qualified healthcare practitioners and their patients at www.emersonecologics.com or by calling 800.654.4432.

Each and every batch of Klean Athlete product is NSF Certified for Sport®, ensuring that they are free of more than 170 prohibited substances on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list as well as NFL, MLB and NCAA prohibited substances list, including stimulants, narcotics, diuretics and masking agents. Also free of yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, sugar and starch, with no artificial color, flavor or preservatives, the label and ingredient composition of each Klean Athlete product is verified before receiving certification.

"Whether a patient is simply athletic or an athlete, an amateur or professional competitor," remarked Emerson Ecologics' practitioner on-staff Chris Oswald, DC, "Klean Athlete provides professional formulations that support optimal health while giving patients the peace of mind that all their hard work won't be unknowingly sabotaged by contaminated supplements. Athletes today just can't afford to take that risk."

"It was our goal to develop a group of products that support—rather than enhance—the peak health and performance of athletes," says Timothy Monk, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Douglas Laboratories. "We're excited that Emerson Ecologics appreciates the importance of this and we are thrilled to have them as our exclusive distributor partner servicing the healthcare practitioner market."  

Recognized by major sports organizations, the NSF Certified for Sport® program was developed in response to the concerns of athletes, coaches and team owners about finding banned substances in sports nutrition products. Every product that carries the NSF Certified for Sport® mark has undergone stringent laboratory testing to confirm its content, purity and compliance.
