Weight-loss supplements with a drug: Sibutramine in lethal doses found in popular supplements on marketplaces
Imagine this: you order a "natural" and "safe" dietary supplement for weight loss on a major marketplace, hoping for an easy weight adjustment. Instead, you receive a potent substance that is only available by prescription in Russia and can send a person to intensive care. This is exactly what journalists discovered when they tested four of the best-selling "miracle" products. In every single one, without exception, they found sibutramine—in doses two to three times higher than the maximum therapeutic levels.
