FDA Reports and Statistics

According to FDA data examined in the JAMA Network Open study (2007-2016):

  • 776 dietary supplements were found to contain at least one hidden drug ingredient between 2007 and 2016
  • 86% of tainted supplements were marketed for sexual enhancement or weight loss
  • 12% were marketed for muscle building
  • The most common hidden drugs were sildenafil in sexual enhancement supplements (the ingredient found in ACTRA-Sx), sibutramine (a banned weight-loss drug) in weight-loss supplements, and synthetic steroids or steroid-like ingredients in muscle-building supplements
  • Approximately 48% of adulterated supplement brands were recalled, per related analysis
    These findings align with the recall of ACTRA-Sx due to undeclared sildenafil, prompting potential lawsuits, though no major settlements are confirmed as of March 18, 2025.
