I think the entire supplements market should be regulated the same way food, drink and drugs are. It's a fucking joke the claims they can make with no one policing what's actually in the product. This isn't the first study to show that supps contain either nothing of what they claim, less than what they claim, more of what they claim or something completely different to what they claim is in them. The whole industry is a fucking joke.

In general, they are. The "problem" isn't regulation, its customers shopping around for either a foreign regulatory regime or an unscrupulous supplier in order to get something not available through local, compliant, channels.
The sporting regulations are different, as they prohibit many things which are permitted ingredients or impurities in food or pharmaceuticals. Any fule kno that if you're subject to anti-doping controls, you should source any supplements from specialist suppliers who work to higher standards than those required by law.

I understand, although one might argue that it should say so on the tin.
