What to Look for When Choosing supplements? ▲Avoid supplements that claim to be substitutes to anabolic steroids, cause rapid weight loss, or claim to treat or cure a disease or other health condition ▲Avoid supplements that contain high levels of caffeine, green tea extract and other stimulants, as they may lead to restlessness, anxiety, racing heart or an irregular heartbeat, especially in teens ▲Do not mix supplements or take a supplement at a higher than recommended dose (like taking two scoops instead of one) as this may negatively affect health ▲Avoid supplements that contain contaminants or unapproved synthetic stimulants like N,a- DEPEA, DMAA, DMBA or oxilofrine, which may appear on product labels as ingredient names like geranium extract or 4-amino-2-methylpentane citrate ▲Purchase supplements that have been tested and certified to contain the reported active ingredients and no banned substances or other hazardous contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides at unsafe concentrations
