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.

GRAEME COLLEGE Aphiwe Mnyanda Honours and awards In an Honours citation we usually recite cricket statistics as a player gets to the end of his Grade 12 year. We also hardly ever award Honours to a learner who isnt in Grade 12 largely because Honours reflects a ‘finished product’. Today however, we are breaking both of those rules. I wouldn’t say Aphiwe is the finished product yet - which is an incredibly exciting statement to make. He will be a ten percent better cricketer, at the end of 2023; saying that however, he is a pretty remarkable cricketer right now. The second rule broken is about his statistics. He is an incredible bowler obviously, and also becoming quite an outstanding batsman too. Its the small things that separate him from most. His work ethic, his drive, his compassion and caring for others, his demand for excellence from his teammates, his intensity, his passion and maybe most importantly, his discipline.
One last anecdote about Aphiwe. While he was in the West Indies playing for his country, our 1st XI was in Uitenhage playing in a festival. Viwe Gana had done superbly well that day, and it was interesting to see, that of all the possible options available to Aphiwe, sitting in the West Indies, his Whatsapp status was a photo of Viwe, congratulating him on his performance.That says volumes for the person he is, for the teammate he is. Aphiwe is a phenomenal cricketer, but he is an even better Graemian. He is arguably the most deserving Honours recipient Graeme College has ever had. It is with immense pride that Graeme college bestows their highest award on Aphiwe Mnyanda.
He is constantly coaching, helping and inspiring cricketers in the nets. If he isn’t in the nets on Somerset Field, he is either taking Grant House learners for runs as part of the Albany running club, or he is supporting the Junior School cricketers. Its that, which inspires us all. Aphiwe joined Graeme College in Grade 8 - and when I reflect on these aspects about who he has become, I am reminded about Siya Kolisi’s (now famous) reflection after his first day at Grey High School. He said - ‘this palace is going to make me’. I dont think that’s a statement about a palace, or the people there - I think its about an attitude and just making full use of the opportunities available to you. Aphiwe has done just that at Graeme College. He was selected in the EP u15 cricket side initially, then bypassed the u17 side, and was selected straight in to the u19 flagship side the next year. That same year he received a man of the match award at the CSA T20 finals in a 1st XI match against SACS. He was then selected into the Warriors Cubs team in the next two years, which has obviously led to him being selected into the South African u19 side. Remembering, at that stage he was a 16 year old turning 17. A year later, and he has represented South Africa at the u19 World Cup, and did brilliantly on slow, unresponsive pitches in the West Indies. Not bad for a young man who hasn’t turned 18 yet.
