Unigen Sports Formulation Awarded TruShield™ Certified Status
TACOMA, WASHINGTON – September 30, 2025: Unigen Inc., a natural product R&D and proprietary ingredient supplier, has been awarded TruShield™ Certified status for its proprietary botanical blend of Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu extracts (Univestin®). Univestin® is the key active found in Mobilix®, a joint health product by Unilab, Inc. in the Philippines.
Mobilix® is a Philippine FDA-approved joint health product designed to support mobility, comfort, and long-term joint function. Backed by clinical validation, Mobilix® is comparable to conventional NSAIDs without compromising long-term joint health. Formulated with a standardized, science-backed blend, Mobilix® is ideal for adults who experience joint discomfort or age-related wear and tear, including osteoarthritis, as well as for healthy, active individuals who may misuse or overuse their joints.
“Mobilix® successfully passed TruShield™ Certified’s rigorous banned substance testing,” announced Dr. Qi Jia, Unigen’s Chief Scientific Officer. “The TruShield™ Certified lab has over 20+ years of anti-doping expertise,” said Dr. Jia, “with a focus on compounds of concern specifically for athletes and those that are critical for anti-doping compliance in sports.”
TruShield™ Certified is a part of a WADA-experienced lab, which gives access to exclusive reference standards and cutting-edge ISO17025 anti-doping methodologies with WADA-style testing. Unigen’s proprietary formulation of Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu was tested for all banned substances including:
- anabolic androgenic steroids
- other anabolic agents
- β-2 agonists
- hormone receptor modulators including SARMs
- HIF stabilizers
- stimulants
- diuretics
- masking agents
- narcotics
- cannabinoids
- glucocorticoids
- β-blockers
- male sexual performance drugs
A total of 478 compounds were tested. No banned substances were detected.
“Unigen is committed to providing scientifically backed, credible and trustworthy proprietary ingredients to nutraceutical supplement manufacturers and their consumer base, including the usage by professional athletes,” stated Dr. Jia.
The TruShield™ Certified status is a significant product differentiator in the raw ingredient industry. It signifies that a product has undergone state-of-the-art, comprehensive banned substance screening, ensuring the highest level of global compliance in anti-doping standards.
