For the “I’m not putting a vax in my body that’s not FDA approved” crowd, this is a reminder that if you take nutritional supplements you’re likely already putting many things not FDA approved in your body. Check it ⬇️⬇️
The contamination rate is non trivial. Since 2002, 20% of legal nutritional supplements marketed as muscle building products contained actual anabolic steroid hormones or precursor molecules to them (pro hormones).
Legal weight loss supplements are also found to have shocking contaminants. The most common is an SNRI Sibutramine. But also Prozac, Lasix (diuretic). A study showed that 59% of all herbal supplements tested contained plant species not listed on the label. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5753965/
