Bodybuilding Formulas That Promise Gains

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today posted warning letters to Flex Fitness/Big Dan’s Fitness, AndroPharm, and Hardcore Formulations for illegally marketed products labeled to contain steroid and steroid-like substances and promoted to increase muscle mass and strength.

Although the products that are the subject of these warning letters are marketed as dietary supplements, they are not dietary supplements. Instead, these products are unapproved drugs that FDA has not reviewed for safety and effectiveness.

FDA recommends consumers immediately stop using over-the-counter body-building products labeled or promoted to contain steroid and steroid-like substances due to the risk of serious liver injury and other adverse health consequences including kidney injury, increased risk of heart attack and stroke, and shrinkage of the testes and male infertility.

I have always avoided anything that says it will increase your body muscle mass. I think a lot of the drugs companies try to sale harmful drugs on unsuspecting people.

KN,

I stay away from these things too. I've never trusted them. The only thing I take is a whey protein supplement that is approved. And I only take that when I'm on a hard workout schedule. I've found that hard work is better than supplements every time.
