Extract Labs is proud to announce we have received certification from the National Animal Supplement Council! This significant achievement reflects our commitment to providing high-quality, safe, and effective pet products. While we have been following the guidelines set by the NASC for years, we are now certified within this counsel offering the same high-quality pet products, now with the NASC badge!
What is NASC?
The National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) is a non-profit industry group dedicated to protecting and enhancing the health of companion animals and horses throughout the United States. Founded in 2001, NASC’s primary mission is to ensure the quality and safety of supplements for pets through strict regulatory guidelines and industry best practices. This is done through strict adherence to guidelines as well as self-reporting systems to track any issues a product may have for cats, dogs, and horses.
Most recently, the NASC has conducted extensive research on the interaction of cannabinoids, such as CBD, with dogs, specifically focusing on beagles. This groundbreaking study provides much-needed data on how CBD can benefit pets, helping to validate the positive experiences reported by many pet owners. The research delves into the physiological effects of hemp-derived cannabinoids, offering insights into their safety and efficacy over time. By understanding how these compounds interact with dogs, the NASC is paving the way for more informed usage of CBD in pet care.

- Meets High Standards: NASC members must comply with strict guidelines that ensure products are consistently manufactured to the highest standards.
- Undergoes Regular Audits: Certified companies are regularly audited to ensure ongoing compliance with NASC’s stringent requirements.
- Ensures Transparency: NASC certification promotes transparency, giving consumers confidence in the product’s safety and efficacy.
