Our Origins

From Clinical Precision to Competitive Performance

As the NSF Certified for Sport® division of Designs for Health®, a leader in functional medicine and nutrition since 1989, Designs for Sport® leverages decades of functional nutrition expertise to address distinct gaps in the professional-grade sports supplement market. Guided by our holistic approach and commitment to excellence, innovation, and transparency, we drive measurable outcomes for the athletes, coaches, and practitioners who shape modern sport.

Designs for Sport® redefines what it means to fuel peak performance from within.

We merge functional nutrition with modern sports science to create supplements that meet the uncompromising standards of elite athletes and the practitioners who guide them. Here, training and recovery converge with precise, science-backed formulations, education, and technology that support the whole athlete — body and mind. As sports science evolves and athletes demand more, we continue to innovate, to design performance without compromise

We go beyond the standard.

  • From collegiate programs to major professional organizations, our complete supplement lineup is integrated into the performance routines of athletes at every level of competition.

    Many of the teams and individuals who rely on DFS have earned championship titles in baseball, hockey, football, and soccer, and include national team competitors and world-class performers.

  • At DFS, our commitment is simple: provide athletes— whether rising talent or established pros — with supplements that uphold the highest standards for quality and integrity, helping athletes recover faster, train harder, and perform at their peak, season after season.*
