Boise, Idaho – October 13, 2026 -- Clean Form Nutrition has become the first brand to earn NSF Certified for Sport® certification for a finished product containing NNB Nutrition's Pürest CreatineTM, adding a finished-product check to an ingredient already certified by Informed Choice and tested by two independent laboratories.

In comparative testing by Eurofins, three separate production lots of Pürest CreatineTM were evaluated alongside a premium creatine described as an industry purity benchmark. In all three lots, dicyandiamide (DCD), dihydrotriazine (DHT) and creatinine fell below the laboratory's limits of quantification.

The benchmark sample contained measurable levels of both DCD and creatinine. DHT stayed below the quantification limit in both products. Mérieux NutriSciences has also tested Pürest CreatineTM for creatine manufacturing impurities.

Sensor Patch Market to Hit $28.9B by 2031 at 29.6% CAGR

Sensor Patch Market to Hit $28.9B by 2031 at 29.6% CAGR

Sheridan – October 13, 2026 -- The global sensor patch market is valued at USD 7.9 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach USD 28.9 billion by 2031, a CAGR of 29.6%, according to a study by Wissen Research.

Chronic disease burden drives demand for remote monitoring

Sensor patches are adhesive, skin-worn devices that measure signals such as glucose, cardiac activity, and temperature and transmit the data wirelessly to a smartphone, cloud platform, or clinician. The World Health Organization links chronic disease to about 41 million deaths a year, roughly 71% of all deaths worldwide. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that about 589 million adults aged 20-79 had diabetes in 2024.

As care shifts to remote and home settings, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and ambulatory cardiac patches are becoming core tools for managing long-term conditions outside the clinic.
