In a recent product review ConsumerLab.com, White Plains, NY, found that three of the 17 DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) supplement products it tested contained less than their claimed amounts of this hormone—one having less than one-fifth of what it claimed. ConsumerLab.com observed that one product boasted it was “Pharmaceutical Quality” and that it was “produced and packaged in [an] OTC approved facility” despite having only 19% of the DHEA claimed. Another product with only 79% of its claimed DHEA stated that its raw material met USP standards. A third product contained only 84% of the DHEA claimed.
