The risks of supplements As parents or guardians, you know that the pressure to train hard, compete and achieve at a high level can lead athletes to entertain dangerous options. Saids is the Institute for Drug-Free Sport in S.A. AWSUM asked them why we should be concerned about the risks of supplements and they share the facts.

The general assumption in school learners is that supplements will improve their performance on the sport field and that it is a ‘quick fix’ to reach your goals. This might be due to the confusing, sometimes dubious, claims on supplement labels. A scary fact is that one of the boys who tested positive for anabolic steroids during the Craven Week Rugby Tournament in 2018, revealed taking 18 different supplements, ranging from protein shakes and ‘mass builders’, to pre-workouts, energy boosters, etc.

Why should we be alarmed if the following claims “scientifically tested”, “proven”, “healthy”, “specifically designed for youth”, “superior”, “drug-free” appear on the supplement packaging?

It is unethical marketing and outright false claims of efficacy and safety and provides hidden risks that consumers are not always aware of. In fact, researchers from the University of KZN did an analysis of 15 Whey Protein Shakes from the top-selling brands in SA and found that 9 out of the 15 were non-compliant with labelling regulations, and deliberately manipulated and overstated the protein and amino-acid content of the products.

Are supplements being tested sufficiently?

No. In reality, the majority of supplements on the market have not been sufficiently tested or scrutinised by an independent health authority, such as the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). This problem is not unique to South Africa, but is a global concern.

What are the dangerous ingredients that were found in supplements?

Prescription drugs, banned substances, heavy metals, pesticides, and other dangerous chemicals. In one study, researchers analised the contents of 134 top-selling protein supplements available via the internet - many were found to contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, BPA (found in plastic) and other chemicals linked to cancer, liver damage and other ill-health effects3. In a study conducted by the University of Cape Town (UCT), 138 popular Protein Shakes from leading brands available on the SA market were tested for melamine content (found in plastic). The use of melamine in food production is not approved by WHO as it is related to kidney stones and kidney failure.

Melamine is sometimes illegally added to food products to increase their ‘apparent’ protein content. The UCT researchers found that 57% of imported and 82% of locally produced protein shakes tested positive for melamine. Though the concentration was below toxic levels per se, there is a risk related to the amount of product the consumer will be taking (dosage), frequency, duration, and/or number of supplements the individual will be taking.

Can these ingredients, that exceed safety limits, cause medical problems or hospitalization?

A study report from Harvard Medical School looked at the number of ill-health events reported on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System between 2004 to 2015. They found 977 adverse event reports in the 0 – 25 year age group2. Around 40% had severe medical outcomes, including hospitalization and death.

Supplements sold for muscle-building, weight loss and energy were associated with almost 3 x the risk for severe medical outcomes compared to vitamins.

Can supplements be taken as a supplement to nutritional needs?

Advertising such as: “supplements specially designed for youth”, or that “young athletes need supplements to perform / bulk-up”, or “a normal diet is not enough” is concerning.

These claims have no scientific grounds and contradicts evidence-based consensus on the value of “food first” for youth as best support for optimal health, growth and development and sporting performance (over the short- and long-term).

Particularly in youth, a dietary supplement should only be considered (for as short duration as possible) to correct a clinically diagnosed dietary deficiency and taken under appropriate health professional guidance e.g. Registered Dietitian, who can address and optimise dietary intake as the main focus. A Dietitian can also help do a risk vs. benefit analysis and help identify low-risk products, if needed.

Parents should note that SAIDS supports the views of leading health and sport authorities from around the world (including the IOC) that deems it inappropriate and unethical for active and competitive adolescent athletes to be encouraged to consume dietary supplements for performance-enhancement.

FRESH EGGS NOURISH THE MIND

HAMPTONS PRIMARY Up-and-coming literacy guru, Shiloh Pillay With a heart of gold and a strong desire to improve literacy amongst the youth are two characteristics that this ten year old young lady possesses. We are so proud of how she at such a young age has not only written a book but illustrated the book herself. Her primary focus is to bring literacy awareness and help develop children’s love for reading.

She donated her personal belongings to a school and 20 children received a signed copy of her book titled Henry and His New Friend.

Not only did the Grade five learner just launch her first self-published book, she also opened a reading room for underprivileged learners. Mrs Claassens gave a wonderful speech at the event to the little children who attended the book launch and they all learnt about the importance of reading. Leaving feeling motivated and inspired!

I enjoyed putting together the illustrations the most, as they send out the message of the book to children. The message of the book is that we can be friends even though we are different,” said Shiloh.

“Henry’s character is based on Jock, who was my dog and best friend. We shared many years together, and we had a very special relationship,” said Shiloh. “

The 10-year-old said she feels as if she has completed one of her main life goals, now that she has started the reading

room. She has always been keen on promoting literacy among the youth.

“It’s very fulfilling for me, knowing that I started a reading room that will improve children’s reading,” she said.

That’s not all. The aspiring author has plans for her second book which she said her sister will collaborate on based on dealing with anxiety.

“This book will be based on anxiety as many children face this on a daily basis. It will help children face anxiety and teach them how to deal with it,” she said.

Her work in creating a more literate youth doesn’t end there. Shiloh is now looking for sponsors to purchase her book which she will donate to school children.

Sevens Rugby Day

Grandparents’ Day

The iThemba Campus was buzzing on Saturday, 28 May when Waterfall College hosted its annual Rugby 7s Tournament (the first since 2019). It was a beautiful reminder of what a privilege it is to play and host live sport, not only for the game itself, but for the way it builds community. Thank you to Curro Salt Rock, Grace College and Carter High for joining us. The support of students and parents was incredible, with cheers reverberating around the school. “Our rugby boys played with all their heart and soul, putting their bodies on the line. Well done to every one of you! We are inspired by your passion and determination.

On Friday, 20 May we had the joy of welcoming our Foundation Phase grandparents to the school for the first time in three years. Our Grade R to 3s presented songs and poems that had the audience laughing and crying, by turns. Our visitors then enjoyed tea and spent time with their grandchildren in their classrooms.

What a very special day!
