Sun Chlorella’s Anti-Doping Orientation

The necessity of anti-doping

Over its 50-year history, Sun Chlorella has continued to research and develop products that contribute to everyone’s health. Organic and natural foods have been attracting attention in recent years, and this may be even more important for athletes when we think of the issue of doping. Doping problems often occur at major international tournaments. Intentional doping is a behavior that goes against sportsmanship, but there have been some unfortunate cases in which athletes use a supplement without knowing it contains ingredients that are subject to doping. To support all athletes for maintaining their condition and aiming for their best performance without worries, Sun Chlorella has obtained “Informed-choice”.

The future of anti-doping

Sun Chlorella does not believe the doping issue is only a problem for a few top athletes. We are worried that the doping issue will happen to us, and everyone who loves sports is under the threat of this issue. In these days, we can purchase conditioning products online which athletes use. It is quite easy for us to get products which are not assured their safety, but the risk of doping is increased. Sun Chlorella would like everyone to maintain their health by themselves at ease. We will continue to offer our products and a healthy life so that everyone can enjoy sports and brighten future of sports.
