Joint pain supplement linked to Cushing’s syndrome in one man

Joint pain supplement linked to Cushing’s syndrome in one man

A man in his 40s developed features of Cushing’s syndrome, including rapid weight gain and stretch marks.

Researchers said a supplement marketed for joint pain and arthritis was the likely cause.

They described his condition as iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome.

The case connects a supplement sold for joint problems with a serious health condition.

The available account gives no further details about the supplement or the man’s treatment.

It also does not say what happened next.
