Unregulated Substances

Meaning

Chemical compounds, hormones, or peptides that are produced and distributed without the strict quality control, purity standards, and legal oversight mandated for pharmaceutical agents by regulatory bodies. These substances present a significant clinical hazard due to potential variations in dosage, the presence of undisclosed contaminants, or the absence of validated safety and efficacy profiles. Their non-clinical sourcing introduces unpredictable variables into patient physiology.
