EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Cushing’s Syndrome is a well-characterized clinical manifestation of hypercortisolism and results from a variety of etiologies, most commonly from exogenous glucocorticoids. Iatrogenic Cushing’s Syndrome related to dietary supplements remain underreported; the quality, safety, labeling, and marketing of dietary supplements differs from that of drugs, and ineffective regulation poses potential risks to consumers. We describe one case of Iatrogenic Cushing’s Syndrome and secondary adrenal insufficiency due to use of the dietary supplement “Artri King” for joint pain.
