Unregulated Compounds

Meaning

Unregulated compounds are substances, often found in the supplement or wellness space, that are not subject to the rigorous pre-market testing, manufacturing standards, and labeling requirements mandated for prescription pharmaceutical drugs by government regulatory bodies. In the hormonal health domain, this category includes many dietary supplements and over-the-counter preparations claiming to influence endocrine function. The lack of oversight raises significant concerns regarding product purity, potency, and safety.
