Arnold Schwarzenegger Discusses “Illegal Ingredients”
Arnold Schwarzenegger clearly showed that he was angry about this topic and he did not come empty-handed. He shared many studies about ingredient labels and how they can be difficult to trust.
“The next item really pissed me off. Even though I think many people rely too much on supplements and most are a waste of money, some of them really are fantastic. But the biggest problem with the supplement industry might be how little you can trust the ingredient labels.”
Schwarzenegger went on to read from recent studies that he found:
“A recent study found that 89% of supplements analyzed did not accurately list the ingredients and more than 10% of the supplements tested had illegal ingredients hiding in the product. A 2022 study showed that buying supplements from Amazon wasn’t a guarantee of quality either even though Amazon began requiring quality control documentation from supplement sellers in 2020.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger continued to say that he understands products cannot always be tested by those purchasing but he urges consumers to seek second opinions.
“It’s not realistic to test the supplements you buy but that doesn’t mean you can’t protect yourself if you’re buying a supplement, please look for third-party certification. That means the brand pays for a reputable lab to verify the accuracy of labels and the safety of the product.”
