In this report, the survey results were presented on the chemical drugs analyzed in 772 samples of dietary supplements, which were collected and analyzed during the fiscal year 2008. The results indicated that 40.0% (197/492) of the samples from the consumer service centers of the local health bureaus and other governmental institutions were adulterated. Other samples, which were randomly collected from local markets by the health bureau officers, had an adulteration rate of 41.8% (117/280).The sample sources were classified into two categories. For the first one, the supply sources included manufacturers of Chinese medical preparations and medical units, such as drug stores and clinics, where the drug stores had a higher adulteration rate. The second category came from business and mail-order which also had a high adulteration rate.In terms of usage, most adulterants were used in treatment of anorexic or male erectile dysfunction. As the frequency of occurance was concerned, sibutramine, sildenafil and desmethylsibutramine ranked the top. In addition to sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil, nine analogues of above drugs were examined.
