Dietary Supplement = Steroid??

Posted by Sean on July 25, 2009

It seems in the race to be the best, even the best intentions come with risks.

Federal authorities submitted a claim that the above dietary supplements contain steroids. Steroids, which if you didn’t know are quite illegal.

I guess these products are popular amongst the high school football athlete.

Tren Extreme and Mass Extreme, manufactured by American Cellular Labs promotes these products as a safe ‘legal’ alternative to steroids.

OOPS

The horrible effects that steroids can wreak on the human body are too numerous to discuss, let alone their effects on a growing young athlete.  Let’s just say, hospitals would be come your best friend.

Not sure where this will lead, but the manufacturer and the businesses who are selling the product aren’t sayin’ much right now.

Let’s hope it was a simple case of ‘we didn’t know’.

    THERE WAS always a reason why mother encouraged you to eat your greens. Popeye took his daily dose of his favourite food, spinach, so he could boast of his muscular strength. We should be as smart as Popeye and eat more spinach in our diets.

    @ medicine I'm thinking the 'illegal' part might be important.

    These type of medicines are really helpful for athletics, but they might make our body week.
