As Indians become increasingly health-conscious and place greater emphasis on their appearance, the country’s gym culture continues to grow. According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), the number of gym memberships in India reached 3.5 million in 2019.

The gym industry is projected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2028 and alongside, the demand for supplements is also rising. According to the India Fitness Market Overview 2029 report published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to surpass USD 1.65 billion between 2024 and 2029,  reflecting the growing health consciousness among people.

The surging demand has led to a rise in counterfeit protein supplements, making it increasingly difficult for consumers to distinguish between genuine and fake products, posing serious health risks. The incident regarding Singhal is just the tip of the iceberg.

The peer-reviewed medicine journal reveals, that around 70 pc of popular supplements sold in India contain incorrect protein information, with some also tainted by harmful contaminants such as pesticide residue and fungal aflatoxins.

According to Bharat Jain, owner of the online fitness platform Veggains, many brands fail to properly highlight their ingredients, leaving customers unable to identify potential allergens. This oversight can drastically affect their health.

“Many brands fail to clearly list their ingredients, making it hard for consumers to spot allergens. For instance, someone with lactose intolerance could unknowingly consume a protein supplement containing dairy, leading to gut issues, nausea, or other adverse reactions,” Jain tells Media India Group.

Meanwhile, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has warned against the usage of protein supplements for building body mass, citing added sugars, non-caloric sweeteners, and artificial flavorings that can negate health benefits. Additionally, as per ICMR, high levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in proteins can also increase the risk of non-communicable diseases among consumers.
