Doping free?

An official test for doping is always a snapshot. Not only because the plants on the FEI list (prohibited substances) are constantly changing. Also because the ingredients of plants can differ during cultivation and harvest. Every batch can be different. Phytonics does its utmost to use substances in the recipes that are not on the doping list, but does not guarantee doping-free.
