Background: Adulterated herbal weight loss products with containing undeclared synthetic drugs are common and responsible for many serious health damages.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to determine five synthetic adulterants in eight common herbal weight loss supplements, which are currently sold in Iran markets, to verify their presence in supplements, without mentioning on the labels.
Materials and Methods: Eight common herbal weight loss samples were obtained from the Iran pharmaceutical market after advertising in the Persian language on satellite channels and internet.
Five pharmacological classes of drugs used for weight loss, namely sibutramine, phenolphthalein, phenytoin, bumetanide and rimonabant, were investigated and quantified by GC-MS for the first three and LC-MS for the last two medications.
Results: The most undeclared ingredients, which were illegally added include sibutramine, phenolphthalein, bumetanide, and phenytoin in the original super slim, herbaceous essence, super slim green lean, and fat loss, supplements, respectively.
Rimonabant was not found.
Caffeine, pseudoephedrine, theobromine and amfepramone were also found in the supplements using GC-MS assay.
Conclusions: Adulterated synthetic substances were detected in the herbal weight loss products.
Health care professionals should make people aware of the risks of taking herbal weight-loss supplements.
