Scientists are strongly advised not to take samostoyatelnaya supplements. A new study has shown that almost all supplements contain the declared ingredients that can cause harm.
Scientists at Harvard medical school in the United States stated: nutritional dietary supplements “contain a potentially dangerous and not approved drugs”. These data were published in the journal JAMA Network Open.
The researchers analyzed data on dietary supplements, collected over the last ten years FDA (Management on sanitary inspection behind quality of foodstuff and medicines). As a result, experts were convinced that in the most supplements are the “secret” components that are not declared by the manufacturer on the packaging. For example, 85% of supplements for weight loss contain sibutramine – a substance which in 2010 was declared as extremely dangerous because of their ability to give bad side effects on the cardiovascular system. Almost 90% supplements for increasing muscle mass contain steroids or their analogues. In 20% of cases of such hidden components were in every bad more than one.
In USA supplements, including vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids that are classified as foods, not as drugs. They do not undergo the same thorough checks as medicines. According to scientists, this increases the risk of adverse complications associated with their reception. Contained in the dietary supplements substances may cause deterioration of health and well-being. Experts admit that the use of such additives there is absolutely no need that would not have promised their vendors.
