VAUDREUIL-DORION, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 02/25/16 -- This document corrects and replaces the press release that was sent today, February 25, 2016 at 4:47 pm ET. The headline should have read "Immunocal® and Immunocal Platinum® Certified by International Testing Company LGC".
Immunotec Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IMM), a direct-to-consumer company and a leader in the nutritional industry (the "Company" or "Immunotec"), announced that their flagship product, Immunocal®, and Immunocal Platinum® have been certified by the world-class anti-doping lab, LGC, and now carry the INFORMED-CHOICE.ORG logo. LGC is a recognized quality-assurance program that ensures a supplement is tested for banned substances.
"This certification gives the Immunotec Consultants a significant advantage in the marketplace when combined with the recent performance claim granted by Health Canada," said Immunotec's Vice-President of Research & Development, John Molson. "This represents 'clean performance' in the truest sense of the word."
Immunotec has been collaborating with elite amateur and professional athletes in a wide array of sports since it was founded two decades ago. With the increased demand for Immunotec products due to the multitude of benefits experienced by both athletes and coaches, Immunotec took the steps to institute a testing program that would certify that all Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum products are systematically tested for banned substances. The certification "INFORMED-CHOICE" logo will now appear on all Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum packages.
Athletes at all levels, from amateur to Olympian, who rely on Immunocal and Immunocal Platinum will now be able to enter competition with an added peace of mind, knowing that the products being utilized are tested in one of the top quality-assurance programs worldwide. This reinforces our commitment to maintain the highest quality standards.
