Some Diet Supplements Contain Steroids?
Well, I guess this doesn’t come as a total shock, in the wake of the news that many of the so called natural men’s male enhancement supplements are laced with prescription drugs like Cialis and Viagra, but to me it still seems like a blatant stab at the trust of consumers. Apparently, some dietary supplements have been found to contain steroids and other stimulants that are actually illegal.
The studies were actually prompted after the attention drawn to something called “doping” in professional athletics like the Olympics and other professional games like football and biking (remember the whole Tour de France brew haha), and some athletes being accused of doping, or taking enhancement drugs and stimulants to enhance performance.
They vehemently denied taking anything that was illegal to their game or to their profession to enhance their performance, and this prompted attention to regular supplements that they may have been taking that could have tilted the tests in the direction of doping since they contained controlled substances that these athletes supposedly unknowingly took.
In the studies, supposedly a large percentage of dietary supplements contained stimulants that are banned or contain steroids, but usually they only contained traces of these substances. I found that interesting, because of all of the dietary supplements I’ve ever taken I’ve never exeperienced any extremely negative side effects besides the shakiness that I tend to get even from natural stimulants.
