Abstract(s)
Os suplementos alimentares são fórmulas concentradas de nutrientes com efeitos nutricionais ou fisiológicos, utilizados por pessoas de todas as idades que procuram complementar uma dieta equilibrada para melhorar a saúde, energia, resistência, velocidade, desempenho, força, recuperação, ganho de massa muscular, diminuir a massa gorda e melhorar a saúde cerebral.
Este artigo consiste numa revisão da literatura que visa estudar suplementos alimentares contaminados com esteroides anabolizantes utilizados no desporto por atletas e foi realizado com a pesquisa de artigos no Pubmed.
Muitos estudos relatam a contaminação de suplementos com substâncias dopantes como esteroides anabolizantes, moduladores seletivos de recetores andrógenos, dehidroepiandrosterona e outras substâncias por contaminação cruzada ou adicionadas intencionalmente.
Após a realização desta revisão de literatura, podemos concluir que alguns suplementos podem ter a presença de AAS ou novos esteroides de desenho, o que pode levar a resultados positivos nos testes anti-doping. Atletas e a população em geral podem não perceber que estão a consumir esteroides orais e podem consumir continuamente sem pausas, o que pode levar a efeitos adversos e toxicidade dos esteroides.
Dietary supplements are a concentrated formula of nutrients that have nutritional or physiological effects, used by people of all ages looking to supplement a balanced diet to improve health, energy, endurance, speed, performance, strength, recovery, muscle mass gain, fat mass loss and brain health improvement. This article consists of a literature review that aims for searching dietary supplements used in sports by athletes that are contaminated with anabolic steroids and related compounds, prohormones, estrogenic disruptors, steroid metabolites, androgenic compounds, selective androgen receptor modulators and dehydroepiandrosterone, and for that was carried out a search for articles on Pubmed as a datalibrary. Many studies report contamination on supplements with doping substances like anabolic steroids, selective androgen receptor modulators, dehydroepiandrosterone and other substances of 5.4% to 95.8% that are either the result of cross-contamination or added intentionally by the manufacturer. After carrying out this literature review, we can conclude that some supplements can have the presence of anabolic androgenic steroids or newer designer steroids, which can result in an athlet’s positive test result on an anti-doping control. Athletes and general population may not realize they are consuming oral steroids and can take those continually without breaks, which can lead to adverse effects and toxicity of steroids.
