Onnit
Facility GMP claim; product certification unconfirmed · Mid-range
Nootropic and fitness brand best known for Alpha Brain. It does not appear in USP's Verified listing, and a search of NSF Certified for Sport returns no Onnit products. The company's own claim is facility-level — that it manufactures in 'NSF certified GMP facilities' — which is a GMP registration rather than certification of any individual product. Review sites describe Alpha Brain as BSCG Certified Drug Free; that could not be confirmed in BSCG's own client database, so we record it as unconfirmed rather than absent. The distinction matters: this is a gap in what we could verify, not evidence that testing does not happen.

Onnittesting & certifications — FAQ
Is Onnit third-party tested?
Onnit reports the following quality programmes: No third-party product certification confirmed (company states NSF-certified GMP facilities). NSF certification is an independent, third-party program that verifies a product actually matches its label. We reproduce what the brand publishes; where the certifier keeps a public registry (NSF, USP, Informed Sport), look the specific product up there before relying on it — a company-wide claim is not a batch certificate.
Is Onnit NSF certified?
Onnit states that products are NSF certified. NSF independently tests the finished product to confirm it matches its label and is free of unsafe contaminant levels.
Is Onnit made in a cGMP / GMP-certified facility?
Yes — our record lists "No third-party product certification confirmed (company states NSF-certified GMP facilities)" for Onnit. cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) is the FDA's manufacturing-quality standard for supplements; it governs how a product is made but, on its own, is not a test of the finished product.
How we assess supplement brands
Supplements aren't FDA recall-rated like prescription drugs, so we don't assign a recall-safety score here. Instead we report what a brand is independently verified for — NSF, NSF Certified for Sport, USP Verified, Informed Sport, cGMP, and batch testing — the signals that actually separate supplement quality. This is general reference, not medical advice; always consult a professional.
