SAN PEDRO, Calif., March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sports Research, a family-run health and wellness company celebrating its 37^th anniversary, proudly introduces the very first Non-GMO Project Verified vegetarian softgel nutritional supplements. The Non-GMO Project Verified seal assures consumers that Sports Research's nutritional products have been produced according to rigorous best practices for GMO avoidance. Sports Research is leading the dietary supplement industry with 21 Non-GMO Project Verified products, nine of which are plant-based softgels.

Sports Research Non-GMO Project Verified MCT Oil is derived from only Organic Coconuts and contains the full spectrum of Medium-chain triglycerides, including Lauric Acid. MCTs are "healthy fats" with an unusual chemical structure that allows the body to digest them easily for use as quick energy. Naturally unflavored to satisfy sensitive taste buds and easy to mix in any drink or coffee for sustained natural energy. Vegan and Paleo diet-friendly.

Sports Research Non-GMO Project Verified Biotin with Organic Coconut Oil supports healthy skin, hair and nails. Biotin is a B vitamin necessary for cell growth and the metabolism of amino acids and fats. The company is the first to offer Non-GMO Project Verified softgels.

Made with only modified tapioca, glycerin and purified water, this is a breakthrough for plant-based and organic consumers no longer wanting carrageenan, bovine, porcine, sorbitol or modified cornstarch in their dietary supplements.

"This plant-based technology is indeed a significant game-changer for our industry," said Jeff Pedersen, CEO and Founder of Sports Research. "Animal-based softgel capsules have been a mainstay in dietary supplement delivery, but the innovation of a Non-GMO Project Verified and carrageenan-free plant-based softgel offers a superior alternative to the 10 million consumers that identify themselves as either vegans or vegetarians."

Sports Research liquid softgel supplements that have met the Non-GMO Project's rigorous standard include:

Astaxanthin 12mg
Biotin 10,000mcg
Biotin 5,000mcg
C3 Complex Turmeric Curcumin
CLA 1250 80%
CLA 1250 95%
Evening Primrose Oil
Flaxseed Oil
Garcinia Cambogia 65%
Lipowheat® Phtyoceramides
MCT 1000mg
Organic Coconut Oil
Svetol® Green Coffee Bean
Vitamin K2 as MK-7

According to Sports Research Chief Operating Officer Mike Pedersen, this achievement was years in the making. "Living a GMO-free lifestyle is important to many of our consumers, and until now there hasn't been a Non-GMO liquid softgel option. We invested significant time and resources to achieve this innovation, leveraging our team's deep softgel knowledge and expertise in our product development."

Sports Research has also achieved Non-GMO verification of the following products: Premium MCT Oil, Pure Marine Collagen Peptides, Avocado Oil, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Vegetable Glycerin. The company plans to develop more Non-GMO Project Verified products by the end of the year.

Sports Research products are available at top retailers including Amazon, GNC, iHerb, The Vitamin Shoppe and online at www.SportsResearch.com/shop/supplements. Connect with Sports Research on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
