Cata-Kor has announced that it has received independent dietary supplement certification from NSF for its core product Cata-Kor NMN.
The product was evaluated and certified to meet the requirements of NSF/ANSI 173, the American National Standard for dietary supplements, which confirms compliance with established standards for manufacturing quality, purity controls and label accuracy.
NSF certification operates as a multi-stage quality control framework that extends beyond finished product testing.
The process includes audited compliance with accredited cGMP standards, covering raw material qualification, supplier oversight, batch traceability and quality management systems across the entire manufacturing cycle.
In parallel, chemical and microbiological testing is conducted to identify potential contaminants and a regulatory review is conducted to ensure alignment with FDA labelling requirements.
Cata-Kor stated that the achievement supports the company’s science-informed approach to product development in the longevity category.
The milestone follows a comprehensive third-party evaluation process that included independent laboratory testing and quality audits conducted in accordance with NSF/ANSI 173 requirements.
The product underwent rigorous examination against established criteria for dietary supplement manufacturing, quality systems and label accuracy.
According to the final documentation, the formulation met the applicable requirements defined under NSF/ANSI 173, providing verified third-party verification for distributors, healthcare partners and end users regarding ingredient identity, label consistency and contaminant controls.
"NSF certification is an operational milestone that validates how our quality systems perform under independent scrutiny," said Dr Roman Miroedov, product development lead at Cata-Kor.
"For partners operating at scale, this level of third-party verification is critical for supply chain resilience. In the longevity category, where compositional integrity and audited manufacturing controls are essential, these safeguards reduce the risk of disruption and support reliable long-term distribution."
"The NSF certification mark on Cata-Kor’s product signifies that it has undergone a rigorous evaluation against the industry’s highest standards for safety and quality," said David Trosin, Senior Director, Nutrition and Wellness at NSF.
"By pursuing this voluntary certification, Cata-Kor demonstrates a clear commitment to transparency and consumer protection within the growing longevity sector."
Why this matters
This move toward third-party validation aligns with a broader structural shift in the US nutraceutical industry, with brands increasingly expected to demonstrate cGMP compliance through accredited audits as e-commerce platforms and retail marketplaces tighten oversight.
At Cata-Kor, these standards serve as a baseline for operating within the high-scrutiny longevity and cellular health segment. In a category where ingredient purity and analytical accuracy are critical, such frameworks function as a foundational trust mechanism rather than a simple competitive differentiator.
The NSF certification builds on Cata-Kor’s broader multi-tier quality verification strategy.
The company maintains a rigorous testing history; previously, Cata-Kor’s formulations have earned recognition under the Alkemist Assured programme for identity and potency verification, demonstrating a consistent commitment to independent scrutiny.
Cata-Kor has said that it will continue to collaborate with independent research organisations to evaluate product characteristics under controlled conditions. Together, these initiatives illustrate a long-term quality strategy centred on accredited laboratories and independent oversight.
The NSF programme focuses explicitly on manufacturing integrity and labelling accuracy, providing a verified foundation for the company’s ongoing development efforts in the longevity sector.
