Description

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate supplements for safety and efficacy, so manufacturers don’t have to disclose their ingredients. We can’t always know for certain what’s in supplements we buy over the counter. Host Aaron Lohr talks with Meghana Pattipati, MD, an endocrine specialist at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center in Louisiana. Dr. Pattipati presented a study at ENDO 2025 in San Francisco titled, “Beware of the Hidden Ingredients and Supplement Use in Your Patients With Elevated Testosterone.” The presentation describes a case where a patient unknowingly ingested an ingredient that had a significant endocrine impact.
