96. I hope it passes
There are five kinds of "supplements" being sold out there.

The first kind has the ingredients shown on the label in about the amount shown on the label. This is the least common form.

You then have the single-ingredient pills that do NOT contain the ingredients, or the amount, shown on the label.

Third are the "nutriceutical cocktails" like Seasilver. I had a job designing the brochure for this product. One of the ingredients was "Phyto-Silver" which was supposed to contain colloidal silver. I guess if you want to look like the blue guy in the X-Men this is the product for you as colloidal silver's most famous attribute is its ability to turn your skin permanently blue. It also contains five radioactive minerals including uranium and strontium for glowingly good health.

Fourth is the supplements that are just designer steroids.

And the last group is the "supplements" and "cleanses" that are really designed to help you cheat on a piss test.

'Course, if you took the Invisible Roids and Piss Test Cheat shit off the market GNC would collapse because it's hard to run a national mall-based chain on selling vitamins.
