Trust is built through transparency, not marketing spin. Below is the proof behind what we sell. Certifications we hold and how they are verified. The professionals who recommend us. Where our ingredients come from. How our products are tested. If we cannot substantiate a claim, you will not find it on this page. Read the labels. Read the studies. Then decide. Pack Flippers welcome. [The credentials we hold](#credentials)[Recommended by people who actually read the labels](#endorsements)[Press and independent coverage](#press)[Athletes and specialists who use Chief](#athletes)[The science behind our ingredients](#science)[How and where Chief is made](#manufacturing)[Now you know how we earn the claims. Here is what to do with that.](#explore_further) ## The credentials we hold We only put a credential on this page when it is independently verified and current. ### Verifying with our certifiers What appears below is what we can publicly substantiate today. Anything in progress stays off this page until the certifying body confirms it. Looking for a specific credential like HASTA or Australian Made and not seeing it here yet? The verification work might still be open. We would rather show you nothing than show you something we have not earned. If a specific credential matters for your purchase decision, email us and we will tell you exactly where it stands. Updated when certifiers confirm. ## Recommended by people who actually read the labels We do not pay for endorsements. We make products good enough that nutritionists, dietitians and naturopaths actually eat them. Then they recommend them to the people they advise. Jessica Turton Dietitian "Chief products give me the proteins, nutrients, and energy I need - while saving me time! I love that their products are made from real food, and the added bonus is that they taste delicious." Penny Benjamin Nutritionist "I'm always looking for super easy yet tasty and filling snack and meal options to recommend my clients that are based on real food. Chief delivers on all accounts." More professional endorsements coming soon. ## Press and independent coverage Third-party publications that have written about Chief. Coverage is being collected and indexed. When it appears here, it will link directly to the source publication, not a press release we wrote about ourselves. ## Athletes and specialists who use Chief Chief is built for people who train hard, recover deliberately and care what goes into them. Athletes and specialists in the field use our products. We are working on a verifiable list of names and the contexts they use Chief in. Athlete partnerships are being formalised. Names go up when they are confirmed and the use case is real. ## The science behind our ingredients We do not manufacture studies. We use ingredients that the published research already supports, then explain on each ingredient page what that research actually shows. Methods. Doses. Outcomes. Limitations. ### Collagen for skin, joints and recovery Hydrolysed collagen peptides have been studied for skin elasticity, dermal collagen density and joint discomfort during activity. The evidence we cite is published, peer-reviewed and dosed to match what the studies actually used. [Read the studies →](/ingredients/australian-grass-fed-collagen-peptides) Every claim on every ingredient page links to its source. No claim is unsourced. ## How and where Chief is made Specifics, not slogans. Chief is Australian-owned and Australian-made. Our manufacturing happens in Australia in facilities we audit and visit. We do not outsource production overseas and slap an Australian flag on the pack. Our beef is sourced from Australian cattle that are grass-fed and pasture-raised. The beef ingredient itself is Halal certified. Our manufacturing facility is not Kosher or Halal certified yet. We will not claim it until it is. Our collagen is one hundred percent Australian grown, hydrolysed and made. We test for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides including glyphosate. The results inform what goes in the pack. We do not add fillers, gums, binders or sweeteners we would not eat ourselves. If an ingredient is on the label, it is there because it does something. If it is not on the label, it is not in the product. EXPLORE THE KNOWLEDGE CENTRE ## Now you know how we earn the claims. Here is what to do with that. ### Browse the range Seven product ranges.
