AGE
In humans your Endocrine system is not fully functional until an average age of 25yrs, although the main development is up to around 21yrs it still fluctuates a little bit up to its fully functional age. There is a risk of permanently damaging your HPTA if you take AAS to young and you could end up with symptoms of andropause and HRT for life. Symptoms could be Limp dick, low libido, depression, low energy, low endurance, erection problems and many more but.......are these the types of symptoms you want to have in your 20's?. Believe me its hard to cope with these in your 40's yet alone in your prime of your life.

Around this age your Testosterone levels are the highest they going to be in your life naturally, so use what you have and don't take the risk of damage, I am passionate about this because ive seen it many times with young kids wanting to looking like their heroes and they think the answer is in an injection/tablet.

Taking AAS to young can also cause problems with development, one other main problem is premature sealing of your epiphyeal bone and the consequences mean that you wont grow as big as your genetics could allow you to, there is a test which can be done to see if your growth plates have sealed yet but the average age is around 21yrs old.



TRAINING
You need a few years of hard training under your belt before even considering taking any kind of anabolic support, people who jump on a cycle to soon without having some quality years under their belt usually results in injuries, it takes time to develop your connective tissue, tendons and nervous system to heavy overload training. Slowly getting your own system use to these kinds of extreme's will only help in muscle growth later on when you do decide to start taking AAS.

Build a solid foundation for muscle tissue to grow and maintaining and development will be far greater than without it. Many younger guys will start cycling before they have reached their genetic potential which is crazy when a good solid diet and training program will be far beneficial and productive to muscle building.

Workouts should be mainly focused on basic movements with a priority of over loading the muscle each and ever time you train, increasing your strength and ability to lift in proper form will help with building the foundation for future development


DIET
A lot of younger bodybuilders don't know how to eat. Researching and understanding how your own body responds will help you get to your natural limit, the right food at the right time and a full understanding of proteins,carbs, and fats will only help you succeed in achieving your natural goals. Keeping a diet diary will also help you understand the importance of macro, nutrients, calories and should help you see in which areas you could be going wrong in adding lean muscle tissue.

No matter how much anabolic support you have it will be worthless without proper nutrition, food will help build and maintain your valued muscle weather its natural, cycling or in PCT. Adjusting your food intake and consuming muscle building foods coupled with a solid training program will help you achieve your natural limit and foundation before you start AAS use.

This area is a huge problem with the younger guys and I can't express enough how important diet/food is when first starting out, post and pre training nutrition are very important and understanding how to load and feed the body will help push growth and create a very natural anabolic environment.]]>

Steroids and bodybuilding go hand in hand as far as most people are concerned, and unfortunately in this day and age, anybody and everybody can post whatever they like onto the internet, with no real facts or evidence to back up their claims. For this reason, a lot of lies get told, and a lot of metaphorical wires get crossed as people read something on a forum or webpage and take it as gospel, without any real hard facts or evidence to back up these claims. Steroids are a prime example of what we’re talking about as people are quick to label steroids as dangerous, despite not knowing any real true facts. For instance, they refer to steroids as if all steroids are the same, when in actual fact there are dozens upon dozens of different varieties, with each one serving its own unique purpose. In a bid to help better get a better understanding of what steroids are actually all about, here’s a look at four common misconceptions about steroids.

All steroids have severe side effects – This is simply not true as not all forms of anabolic steroids have severe side effects, and in fact, some varieties have little to no side effects in the slightest. As far as common side effects associated with steroids go, most people will be quick to talk about problems such as acne, or gynecomastia. These are side effects that are associated with overuse of certain steroids, in moderation and used as they are intended to be used, any side effects experienced will be minimal at best.

Steroids make you gain muscle whilst doing nothing – Another common misconception associated with anabolic steroids is when people seem to think that if a person simply takes steroids, they will suddenly bulk up like the incredible hulk, and build huge amounts of muscle mass without lifting a finger. This is complete nonsense. Steroids can and will enhance a person’s physique, providing of course that they train seriously and intelligently, and have their diet and nutrition down to a tee. Without a solid diet and training program, a person could indeed take steroids, but they would not grow as they would have hoped. Steroids are not a quick fix, and the hard work must still be put in if you wish to reap the benefits.

Steroids give you “roid rage” – Roid rage is another term that is often used when talking about steroid use. Truth be told there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that steroids cause mood swings and cause people to fly into fits of rage and anger in the slightest. There is however, evidence that suggests that steroid usage could help to enhance character traits that already exist in a person. For example, if a person is already naturally angry and quick to lose their temper, steroid usage could enhance these character traits slightly. If a clam and placid person was to use steroids however, they would remain calm and placid and would certainly not be transformed into a raging mass monster.

Steroids shrink your penis – Again, this is simply not true. Steroids do not alter the size of your penis in the slightest. They can however, cause the testicles to temporarily become smaller but despite what people say, there is no evidence that suggests this can lead to infertility. The penis will remain the size it always has been, both on and off cycle, but the testicles could lose some size so just bear that in mind. If you are thinking of using any form of steroid, always seek medical and expert advice first, and always, always use them responsibly.]]>

Bodybuilding has struggled through the years to be taken as a legitimate and clean sport. The controversies around bodybuilding and drug never seem to die down. It would seem to a lot of bodybuilders that there was a bigger conspiracy aimed at their sport as now they have to deal with the issues that the FDA has with supplements that body builders use.

In 2005 the Anabolic Steroid Control act of 2004 had a few provisions added. In 2005 it became illegal to possess anabolic steroids without a prescription from a doctor. Anabolic steroids were removed from the controlled substance and it became a federal offense to possess steroids in their raw form or to have them used in supplements in any way.

There have been doubt and misconceptions about the sale of drugs like steroids on the internet but the DEA is emphatic on the legality of possessing steroids: there should be a bona-fide relationship between a doctor and patient. Steroid-Use is really not as bad as cocaine or some prescription medications but they have been vilified in the media so much that the good that they can do has been covered up by the bad. Even though there is a case for medical use of Steroids for certain patients. Doctors are being loathed just because of prescribing steroids to patients who could be helped.

The FDA and the DEA has since clamped down on the sale of prescription drugs online and in particular anabolic steroids. But some would say they have gone a little bit too far by targeting supplement companies and internet product providers and sites dedicated to body building supplements. What the FDA has done in its “war against steroid use in supplements” is to recall over 60 supplements sold over the internet and the hardest hit were supplements sold by a particular site that is probably the biggest purveyor of all things that have to do with body building including dietary supplements.

Why?

The US FDA had a problem with products marketed on this site and made by a company called BrainQuicken LLC Research and Technologies which is a subsidiary of Adaptagenix Applied Biosciences of Boise, Idaho. The FDA has a problem with this company mostly because of its investment in the development and distribution of neural pharmaceutics acceleration products. That alone raised flags about the products they were flogging as dietary supplements for body building. Many people were outraged but it turned that the FDA was right and steroid products were mislabeled as dietary supplements.

The question of who should have been liable, the distributor or manufacturer ranged for a while. Most people still didn't know if the government had a legitimate case - were there steroids in these products or was the government grasping at straws? Most body builders might have felt abused, violated, cheated by the idea of that someone was selling them something that could harm their careers, cheapen all the work they put into building their muscles, and harm the reputation of the sport. The case against the online distributor turned out to be more than just a vendetta against a very successful and reputable company. There really were steroids being sold as dietary supplements but no one but the manufacturer could have known. The CEO of the online distribution company was charged with misdemeanor felonies and the company ordered to pay a fine of twice the gross gains (about $7 million) from sales of the products that were found to have been misbranded as dietary supplements.

Maybe we should define what dietary supplements are supposed to be. The legal definition of dietary supplements according to the FDA is a product that contains ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, or other Botanical substances used to supplement a person's diet by increasing total dietary intake. It can be an extract, a concentrate, a metabolite or a combination of these.

Unfortunately retailers, especially internet based distributors can be lured into selling products that aren't FDA approved and to merely say they were distributors who merely allowed people to use their sites to sell products is not only dangerous but it is irresponsible, not when they make a profit from every sale. For being the biggest body building online retailer they should have taken on the added responsibility of keeping the reputation of the sport clean. This case should be a lesson to all supplement manufacturers and distributors and to athletes. Steroids are powerful drugs and everyone knows that they work and a company looking to make a major score on unsuspecting people will slip something in a product and push more sales of a misbranded product because it works better than everything else that actually contains nothing more than supplements.]]>

Roid rage is a widely heard term whenever the topic of steroids comes up. But is it even a thing? And if it is, what is behind this so called “roid rage”? In this article, you’ll get the key information and background about this phenomenon.

What Does “Roid Rage” Refer to
The phrase “roid rage” refers to the aggressive behavior that is sometimes seen in people who are using steroids. The stereotypical image is one of a bulky bodybuilder injecting a steroid and then suddenly bursting out into a fit of rage.

Roid rage because of steroid use

However, as with all stereotypes, that image is not totally accurate. There is a risk of increased aggression among steroid users but it is not nearly as instantaneous or out of control as it is made to seem.

And some users are prone to extreme aggression than others. There are a lot of factors that go into it so it’s not as straightforward as it is made to appear.

What Causes Aggression in Steroid Users
So if aggressive behavior can occur in steroid users, why does it happen? Well, the answer lies in the testosterone hormone. Testosterone is naturally found in all humans. Its job is to trigger muscle growth, maintain energy levels, and increase sex drive among others.

Testosterone enanthate can cause aggression as a side effect

It also increases strength and encourages competitive behavior—for the sake of sexual reproduction. Even in the natural amounts found in men who do not use steroids at all, testosterone’s effects can already be strong enough to cause aggressive behavior.

You’ve probably met people in your life who seem to have anger problems or who are quick to aggression when they feel threatened or offended. This is (partly) being caused by testosterone.

So in steroid users, testosterone levels are being boosted higher than they normally are. This can have the effect of increasing aggressive behavior because that’s one of the things that testosterone does.

However, it’s important to understand that steroids will not turn every person into an uncontrollable rage machine. If someone has issues with aggression already before starting steroids, the chances of violent outbursts is very high but in the average user who is more even tempered, the aggressive effects will most likely be milder and may only turn out to be increased motivation to workout.

Channeling roid rage during workout

Basically, if you’re angry before you start using steroids, you’ll be even angrier after. And if you’re calm and even tempered before steroids, you’ll most likely just feel an intense urge to work out or otherwise use up the energy building up in you.

With that said, there have been cases where otherwise even tempered people start using steroids and find they are having aggressive outbursts that could be called “roid rage” even though they aren’t normally angry or aggressive otherwise.

How Can I Manage Aggression While Using Steroids
If you are worried that excess aggression from steroid use could be a problem in your case, there are some things you can do to minimize and manage the effects. Try out these tips to keep you calm, cool, and collected during steroid cycles:

Managing side effects of anger and rage

Nip it in the bud. If you feel the anger rising rapidly and are about to lose control, stop everything, close your eyes, and breathe. If necessary, just leave the situation that’s triggering the situation. Go outside and take a walk. If you can stop an outburst before it happens, the urge will pass and you’ll return to normal.
Take it out in your work out. If you find yourself getting angry, letting that energy out in the form of exercise can help calm you down. When an outburst is on the way, it can feel like you have all this energy in you that needs to explode out. Channel that into a workout that not only prevents you from a rage outburst but helps you achieve your gain goals!
If your immediate urge is to yell and punch something (or someone), take a step back and try to express what is bothering you in full sentences. Try to keep perspective as much as possible by realizing that, considering the circumstances, you MIGHT be overreacting. So express yourself in full sentences, using your indoor voice. And then quietly listen when the other person expresses their side. And really listen. Instead of picking apart why you disagree with it, try to figure out why the person might have a different view of the situation than you.
If these sound like strategies for controlling everyday anger problems (steroid caused or not), that’s because they are. The trick with dealing with aggression, no matter what might be causing it, is to try and keep perspective and stay calm even when you feel it boiling up.

Aggression Outbursts during steroid cycle

If you feel like it’s becoming a very serious problem and interfering with your daily life, consider taking a break from steroids for a while and practicing these aggression management techniques while you’re off them. Then, once you’ve gotten better at them, you can try steroids again and see if you’ve gotten better at managing the problem then.

Final Word
In the end, whether or not you experience something like “roid rage” while using steroids will depend on you. If you struggle with anger problems as it is, the chances that steroids will make that problem worse is pretty high. But if you are pretty even tempered as it is, you’ll have an easier time dealing with this side effect.]]>

You’ve probably met people in your life who seem to have anger problems or who are quick to aggression when they feel threatened or offended. This is (partly) being caused by testosterone.

So in steroid users, testosterone levels are being boosted higher than they normally are. This can have the effect of increasing aggressive behavior because that’s one of the things that testosterone does.

However, it’s important to understand that steroids will not turn every person into an uncontrollable rage machine. If someone has issues with aggression already before starting steroids, the chances of violent outbursts is very high but in the average user who is more even tempered, the aggressive effects will most likely be milder and may only turn out to be increased motivation to workout.

Channeling roid rage during workout

Basically, if you’re angry before you start using steroids, you’ll be even angrier after. And if you’re calm and even tempered before steroids, you’ll most likely just feel an intense urge to work out or otherwise use up the energy building up in you.

With that said, there have been cases where otherwise even tempered people start using steroids and find they are having aggressive outbursts that could be called “roid rage” even though they aren’t normally angry or aggressive otherwise.

How Can I Manage Aggression While Using Steroids
If you are worried that excess aggression from steroid use could be a problem in your case, there are some things you can do to minimize and manage the effects. Try out these tips to keep you calm, cool, and collected during steroid cycles:

Managing side effects of anger and rage

Nip it in the bud. If you feel the anger rising rapidly and are about to lose control, stop everything, close your eyes, and breathe. If necessary, just leave the situation that’s triggering the situation. Go outside and take a walk. If you can stop an outburst before it happens, the urge will pass and you’ll return to normal.
Take it out in your work out. If you find yourself getting angry, letting that energy out in the form of exercise can help calm you down. When an outburst is on the way, it can feel like you have all this energy in you that needs to explode out. Channel that into a workout that not only prevents you from a rage outburst but helps you achieve your gain goals!
If your immediate urge is to yell and punch something (or someone), take a step back and try to express what is bothering you in full sentences. Try to keep perspective as much as possible by realizing that, considering the circumstances, you MIGHT be overreacting. So express yourself in full sentences, using your indoor voice. And then quietly listen when the other person expresses their side. And really listen. Instead of picking apart why you disagree with it, try to figure out why the person might have a different view of the situation than you.
If these sound like strategies for controlling everyday anger problems (steroid caused or not), that’s because they are. The trick with dealing with aggression, no matter what might be causing it, is to try and keep perspective and stay calm even when you feel it boiling up.

Aggression Outbursts during steroid cycle

If you feel like it’s becoming a very serious problem and interfering with your daily life, consider taking a break from steroids for a while and practicing these aggression management techniques while you’re off them. Then, once you’ve gotten better at them, you can try steroids again and see if you’ve gotten better at managing the problem then.

Final Word
In the end, whether or not you experience something like “roid rage” while using steroids will depend on you. If you struggle with anger problems as it is, the chances that steroids will make that problem worse is pretty high. But if you are pretty even tempered as it is, you’ll have an easier time dealing with this side effect.]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=8766 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 14:46:27 +0000 01dragonslayer]]> https://hypermuscles.com/showthread.php?tid=8766
If you’re curious about the history of steroids and how the world of sports changed with the introduction of anabolic steroids, keep reading for a brief overview of that history.

The History of The Discovery of Steroids
Back before people had any idea about testosterone or how muscle was built, Olympic athletes would often eat the raw testicles of various animals in an effort to boost their athletic abilities.


Although that probably doesn’t sound appealing and though they had no idea it was the testosterone content in those raw testicles that was making the difference, those athletes noticed that this unappetizing trick seemed to help.

In the mid 19th century, a German scientist tried to figure out what the role of testicles were (beyond their apparent sexual function). He experimented on birds by castrating them and found that when the testicles were removed, the birds’ masculine traits started to disappear. This scientist still did not know that it was the testosterone hormone that was the key but he had narrowed it down to the right glands.

Gradually, scientists discovered hormones and the different effects that different hormones had but it wasn’t until 1931 when yet another German scientist started to experiment with chemistry to figure out if he could extract or synthesize a hormone for use as medicine.

By 1939, the two German scientists who worked together to develop synthetic anabolic steroids won a Nobel Prize for their achievement. Soon after, steroid use grew more and more wide spread, especially in sports.

A Timeline of Steroid Usage in Sports
At the beginning, anabolic steroid use in sports was perfectly legal and accepted. From the 40s through to the 70s, it was pretty much standard routine for athletes to use steroids as part of their training routine.


At this time, if you weren’t using steroids, you were holding yourself back. This was especially true of weight lifters and Olympic athletes who were under high pressure to be the absolute best of the best in the entire world.

And when the entire world is taking advantage of the performance enhancing effects of steroids, your chances of being a gold medal winner were slim to none if you weren’t using them to enhance your own performance.

However, the tide began to turn in 1967. In that year, the International Olympic Council decided to ban the use of anabolic steroids. Many other sports leagues began to follow suit. Despite the ban, actually testing for steroid use was not yet a thing. They were pretty much working on an honor system.

That, too, changed in 1972 when the International Olympic Council officially began testing all athletes for steroid usage. They did this by using the Testosterone to Epitestosterone ratio test (T:E test) which tested the balance of testosterone to epitestosterone in the athlete’s urine samples.


This test was thought to be completely effective at detecting steroid use until the 90s when it was finally discovered that East German athletes had been escaping detection for decades by using an epitestosterone supplement shortly before the test to artificially boost their levels, causing the T:E ratio to appear to be at an acceptable level.

It was around this time that the Anti-Drug Abuse Act was passed in the United States which officially classified anabolic steroids in the controlled substance category so that you could no longer buy steroids legally without a prescription.

The next major event regarding steroids and sports came at the beginning of the new millennium. By the year 2000, Major League Baseball was the only sport left that still did not test its athletes for steroid use.

Many baseball players were using pro-hormone supplements which are different from anabolic steroids because they simply stimulate hormone production rather than actually adding the hormone. However, the difference was lost on media and authorities.


When the news broke that so many baseball players were using pro-hormones, many assumed they were the same as anabolic steroids and it became a scandal. The government soon added these supplements to the list and enforced steroid testing in baseball.

After this most recent scandal, the game of baseball itself changed. During the “steroid era” the game was all about great offense. Impressive batting and record breaking home runs were the name of the game.

Once the government began to crack down, however, such record breaking performances became fewer and farther between. Today, baseball fans appreciate the game as a sort strategy and defense based sport where pitching, catching, and generally stopping runs are the highlights.


Final Word
While they were first viewed as a major successful breakthrough in athletic performance, steroids soon began to be seen as a form of cheating. There was a push for “natural” athletic performance in professional competitions. It was because of this change in opinion that steroids began to be banned and then made illegal.

The end result is that in the world of professional athletic competitions, truly impressive performances and accomplishments will now forever be held in suspicion. We have seen many cases of strong athletes being tested for steroids after the fact because their exceptional performance was suspected to be too good to be true.]]>

Both men and women can use steroids to take their workout to the next level and pack on the muscle mass they want. However, they can have very different effects on men and women so it’s important to understand exactly what you should be expecting (and watching out for) depending on your sex.

In this article, we’ll take a look at the different effects that steroids can have for both men and women so that you can have a better understanding of what kind of changes your body might undergo.

Steroids And Muscle Building in Men And Women
The primary goal of using steroids whether male or female is to build muscle—unless you are using them because you were prescribed steroids by a doctor for a special medical condition.

muscle building via steroid usage

And muscle building will be an effect of steroids in both men and women. However, where men need a minimum of about 250 mg per week to start seeing gains, women only need 35 mg per week to start seeing gains.

Moreover, women do not need nearly as high doses as men no matter what stage of training they are in. Even the most advanced female bodybuilder should avoid going over 350 mg per week. And the cycles should be much shorter. Men typically do cycles of about 12 weeks whereas women are advised to stick to shorter cycles of 4 weeks (maxing out at 8 weeks).

Side Effects of Steroids in Men
In men, the side effects that you need to be on the lookout for include:

baldness in men as a side effect of steroid usage

Liver damage. This is especially true if you are taking steroids in the form of pills or tablets.
Increased blood pressure. If you already have a problem with high blood pressure, this is something you’ll need to keep close tabs on.
Increased cholesterol. Just as with blood pressure, if you already have a problem with high cholesterol, you’ll need to regularly test your levels to make sure you aren’t putting yourself at risk.
Increased sexual desire.
Increased body hair growth.
Mood changes. Most often, there is an increase in aggression and aggressive behavior (known as “roid rage”). But depression is also fairly common.
Decreased sperm count and infertility. If you are trying to conceive or plan to have children in the future, you may want to hold off on steroids for the time being.
Testicular shrinkage
Balding
Increased risk for prostate cancer
Painful urination
Breast development. If this side effect occurs, it is irreversible except through surgery.
Gynecomastia or breast development as a side effect of steroid usage

Some of these effects will go away when you stop taking steroids. Others, however, are long term and do not go away even after you stop. This includes liver damage, the increased risk of cancer, breast development, and testicular shrinkage among others.

If you are injecting the steroids, you are at a heightened risk of AIDS, hepatitis and other infectious diseases if you are not extremely careful about always using a clean, sterile needle every single time.

Side Effects of Steroids in Women
Just as with men, women will also experience:

Side effect of steroid in woman

Liver damage
Increased blood pressure
Increased cholesterol
Increased sexual desire
Increased body hair growth. While this is usually not a serious issue for men, it can be annoying for women who prefer to shave or keep body hair to a minimum
Mood changes. As with men, this usually expresses as either (or both) aggression and depression.
In addition to these changes, there are some effects that are uniquely experienced only by women:

Mood changes as a side effect of steroid

Irregular or missed periods. Because steroids change your hormone balance, they often interfere with your menstrual cycle. This can be problematic if you are trying to conceive but then, if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, you already shouldn’t be taking steroids.
Deeper voice. Testosterone brings out more masculine features and this can include a deepening of your voice.
Facial hair. Because testosterone is responsible for the more masculine traits, it also is responsible for triggering facial hair growth. You may find you have to start shaving or waxing your face.
Enlarged clitoris
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, you should not use steroids at all. They will interfere with the growth of the fetus. For women (and for men, actually), it’s advisable to wait to use steroids until after you have finished having children.

Steroid risk for pregnancy

On that note, it is also important to wait to start using steroids until you are over the age of 21. Using steroids before then puts you at risk of stunting your growth as it interfere with the natural growth hormones that are already in your body.

So if you are under 21 and looking to see extreme gains, just focus on diet and weight training until you are older. After 21, you can give yourself that extra boost if you find you still need it.

Final Word
As you can see, there are some effects that you will see whether you are male or female but there are certain effects that uniquely effect one sex more than the other (and some effects that are a greater concern to one sex more than the other). Knowing what changes you can expect in your body will make you much more prepared and better informed as you consider whether or not steroids are the right choice for you.]]>

Bodybuilding has struggled through the years to be taken as a legitimate and clean sport. The controversies around bodybuilding and drug never seem to die down. It would seem to a lot of bodybuilders that there was a bigger conspiracy aimed at their sport as now they have to deal with the issues that the FDA has with supplements that body builders use.

In 2005 the Anabolic Steroid Control act of 2004 had a few provisions added. In 2005 it became illegal to possess anabolic steroids without a prescription from a doctor. Anabolic steroids were removed from the controlled substance and it became a federal offense to possess steroids in their raw form or to have them used in supplements in any way.

There have been doubt and misconceptions about the sale of drugs like steroids on the internet but the DEA is emphatic on the legality of possessing steroids: there should be a bona-fide relationship between a doctor and patient. Steroid-Use is really not as bad as cocaine or some prescription medications but they have been vilified in the media so much that the good that they can do has been covered up by the bad. Even though there is a case for medical use of Steroids for certain patients. Doctors are being loathed just because of prescribing steroids to patients who could be helped.

The FDA and the DEA has since clamped down on the sale of prescription drugs online and in particular anabolic steroids. But some would say they have gone a little bit too far by targeting supplement companies and internet product providers and sites dedicated to body building supplements. What the FDA has done in its “war against steroid use in supplements” is to recall over 60 supplements sold over the internet and the hardest hit were supplements sold by a particular site that is probably the biggest purveyor of all things that have to do with body building including dietary supplements.

Why?

The US FDA had a problem with products marketed on this site and made by a company called BrainQuicken LLC Research and Technologies which is a subsidiary of Adaptagenix Applied Biosciences of Boise, Idaho. The FDA has a problem with this company mostly because of its investment in the development and distribution of neural pharmaceutics acceleration products. That alone raised flags about the products they were flogging as dietary supplements for body building. Many people were outraged but it turned that the FDA was right and steroid products were mislabeled as dietary supplements.

The question of who should have been liable, the distributor or manufacturer ranged for a while. Most people still didn't know if the government had a legitimate case - were there steroids in these products or was the government grasping at straws? Most body builders might have felt abused, violated, cheated by the idea of that someone was selling them something that could harm their careers, cheapen all the work they put into building their muscles, and harm the reputation of the sport. The case against the online distributor turned out to be more than just a vendetta against a very successful and reputable company. There really were steroids being sold as dietary supplements but no one but the manufacturer could have known. The CEO of the online distribution company was charged with misdemeanor felonies and the company ordered to pay a fine of twice the gross gains (about $7 million) from sales of the products that were found to have been misbranded as dietary supplements.

Maybe we should define what dietary supplements are supposed to be. The legal definition of dietary supplements according to the FDA is a product that contains ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, or other Botanical substances used to supplement a person's diet by increasing total dietary intake. It can be an extract, a concentrate, a metabolite or a combination of these.

Unfortunately retailers, especially internet based distributors can be lured into selling products that aren't FDA approved and to merely say they were distributors who merely allowed people to use their sites to sell products is not only dangerous but it is irresponsible, not when they make a profit from every sale. For being the biggest body building online retailer they should have taken on the added responsibility of keeping the reputation of the sport clean. This case should be a lesson to all supplement manufacturers and distributors and to athletes. Steroids are powerful drugs and everyone knows that they work and a company looking to make a major score on unsuspecting people will slip something in a product and push more sales of a misbranded product because it works better than everything else that actually contains nothing more than supplements.]]>
