Detection and quantification of Sildenafil and Tadalafil in dietary supplements marketed as natural sexual enhancers in Bosnia and Herzegovina

These findings indicate a significant health risk posed by the adulteration of these products. The widespread presence of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in products falsely labelled as natural underscores the urgent need for stringent regulatory oversight and enhanced quality control measures to protect consumer safety. This study adds to the growing body of evidence concerning the adulteration of dietary supplements and emphasizes the critical importance of regulatory compliance and monitoring in safeguarding public health.

Abstract

These findings indicate a significant health risk posed by the adulteration of these products. The widespread presence of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in products falsely labelled as natural underscores the urgent need for stringent regulatory oversight and enhanced quality control measures to protect consumer safety. This study adds to the growing body of evidence concerning the adulteration of dietary supplements and emphasizes the critical importance of regulatory compliance and monitoring in safeguarding public health.
