Abstract

In the last decade, several immunoassays have been published as the alternative/complementary rapid methods for steroid analysis in food supplements. The present review shows a significant amount of food supplements containing banned anabolic androgenic steroids that are not declared as ingredients thus presenting risk for consumers and may lead to positive results in anti-doping controls. Traditional methods for analysis of steroids such as LC/MS and GC/MS were used for monitoring suspect food supplements.
