In most cases, supplements aren’t likely to pose any health risks. Still, it’s important to be educated when you put anything in your body. One major reason for that is federal regulations for dietary supplements are less strict than prescription drugs. Some supplements may contain ingredients not listed on the label, and these ingredients can be unsafe.
Shockingly, some supplements, marketed as dietary supplements, actually contain prescription drugs within them. In 2020, Consumer Reports stated that the Food and Drug Administration found that “nearly 50 dietary supplements sold on Amazon and eBay contain active pharmaceutical ingredients, including some prescription drugs, that are not declared on the label and could pose serious risks to consumers.”
The following are five popular supplements worth keeping a careful eye on.

What is Natural Astaxanthin?
Natural Astaxanthin is a high-quality astaxanthin supplement supplying 10 mg of astaxanthin in a single, liquid-capsule serving. It features natural astaxanthin from a type of red microalgae—Haematococcus pluvialis.
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, or fat-soluble plant pigment, found naturally in microalgae, shrimp, some fish, crustaceans and in the feathers of some birds (such as flamingos). It’s responsible for the red/pink color of salmon meat and cooked shellfish.
