Spiritual Minded Military West Virginia Air Force Reserve: Why Is Your Sports Supplement a Career Risk? — The OPSS Protocol

 

The Supplement That Could End Your Career

You walk into the gym at the 130th Airlift Wing. You see the jar on the shelf. The label promises muscle gain. The label promises recovery. The label does not tell you that it could end your career.

The Air Force Reserve Command has a warning. Supplements can lead to a positive drug test. The positive test can lead to discharge. The discharge can end your career. The career you worked for is at risk.

Operation Supplement Safety exists for a reason. Some supplements have resulted in adverse events that compromise performance. Some supplements have resulted in positive drug tests. The risk is real. The risk is not worth it.

Your Spiritual Minded Military Shirt declares that you are a warfighter. The warfighter fuels wisely. The warfighter protects the career. The OPSS Protocol is the countermeasure.

The OPSS Warning Every Reservist Must Know

Operation Supplement Safety is the military's program for dietary supplement education. The program provides evidence-based information about supplements. The program exists to protect you.

The problem is that not all supplements are safe. Some supplements contain banned substances. Some supplements contain ingredients not listed on the label. Some supplements are manufactured in unregulated facilities.

The AFRC Medical Services Directorate warns Reservists: "Some dietary supplements may lead to a positive urinalysis result." The positive result can trigger an investigation. The investigation can lead to disciplinary action. The disciplinary action can end your career.

Your Soldier for Christ Field Armor protects you from the enemy. The enemy is not on the flight line. The enemy is in the supplement bottle. The armor protects you while you make the safe choice.

The Protein Powder Problem

Protein powder is the most common supplement. Protein powder is also one of the most risky.

The problem is not protein. The problem is what is in the protein. Many protein powders contain spiking agents. Amino spiking is the practice of adding cheap ingredients to artificially inflate protein levels. The label says 25 grams. The actual protein is less.

Some protein powders contain banned stimulants. DMAA. DMHA. Ephedra. The ingredients are not listed. The ingredients are illegal. The ingredients can show up on a drug test.

Some protein powders contain heavy metals. Arsenic. Lead. Mercury. The metals accumulate. The metals damage the body. The damage is not visible. The damage is permanent.

The Protein Powder Problem


Your Be Sober Minded Shirt carries the Scripture "Be sober, be vigilant." The vigilance extends to your supplement choice. The vigilance protects your career.

The AFI That Protects You

Air Force Instruction 44-170 governs dietary supplement use. The instruction requires you to know what you are taking. The instruction requires you to consult your medical provider.

The AFI states: "Dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness." The FDA does not approve supplements before they hit the market. The manufacturer is responsible for safety. The manufacturer is not always responsible.

The AFI requires you to report supplement use. The medical provider must know what you are taking. The medical provider can identify risks. The medical provider can protect your career.

Your Spiritual Minded Military Cap marks your commitment to the AFI. The cap says you will follow the instructions. The cap says you will protect your career.
