Choose Certified Supplements

  • These certifications indicate the product likely contains the labeled ingredients without harmful or filler substances.

Supplement Regulation Insight

  • Dietary supplements in the US are not FDA approved for safety before sale, unlike medications.
  • This lack of regulation means supplements may contain fillers or banned substances without consumer knowledge.

Risks in Protein Supplements

  • Studies show about 15% of protein supplements contain banned substances like amphetamines or anabolic steroids.
  • Many supplements do not contain the ingredients listed on the label, posing risks to consumers.
