For our Healthspan Elite range of products, we have chosen to have the products tested by LGC Sport, a trading division of LGC Limited (“LGC”). LGC is an internationally recognised and ISO17025 accredited laboratory that, through its “Informed-Sport” programme, reviews the quality systems in place at supplement manufacturing facilities and provides high-quality analytical testing for supplement products/ingredients. The Informed-Sport programme provides assurances for athletes that registered products have been tested for a broad range of substances that are banned in sport and that within the limitations of analysis, none of the tested substances were found.

6. How a contract is formed between you and us
By placing an order with us, you warrant that:
- You are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
- You are at least 18 years old.
Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted and does not form a binding contract. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy products from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. We will notify you where products may not be available. Your order is accepted, and a contract is formed between Healthspan and you when the products are made available to you.
Your contract with us will relate only to those products not notified as out of stock. We will not be obliged to supply any other products which may have been part of your order until the products are available. We reserve the right, at our discretion, not to accept any offer at any time before it has been accepted. Should we refuse your order we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible.
