Answer 1

Answer:

A and for the next question

C

Explanation:

Dietary supplements are manufactured pills/liquid that contains various nutrients which are taken by individuals to "augment" the deficiency of that particular nutrient.

The government does not test the efficacy of dietary supplements, what the government tests for are the presence of the constituents in the supplement and there potential toxicity. If harmful substances are in them, the government usually detects this before endorsing them for sales and there are no report to suggest that nutritional/dietary supplements directly cause mental problems because that will either suggest they are toxic to the brain or they do not contain what they claim to contain which in any case would have been detected while testing them before approval for sales.

Steroids are synthesized artificially to reduce inflammation. They are chemicals similar to hormones but when abused/taken in excess/unprescribed manners, they can lead to abnormal behaviours; typically messing with the patient's head causing illusions. Hence the choice for option C
