Adulterated Supplements

Meaning

Adulterated supplements are consumer products marketed as dietary aids that contain undisclosed, illegal, or unapproved ingredients, often including prescription drugs, controlled substances, or unlisted synthetic compounds. These additions are typically included to enhance the product’s perceived efficacy, such as promoting rapid weight loss or muscle gain, but pose significant and often hidden health risks. The presence of these undeclared agents makes the product fundamentally different from what is stated on the label, compromising patient safety and clinical trust. Consumers should be aware that these products are not merely ineffective but actively dangerous to their hormonal health.
