Ye-HaMore Dietary Supplement Doodoo
Dietary Supplements Worth $1.3 Million Condemned and Forfeited to the United States Under Consent Decree
On Monday, May 11, the FDA announced that at the request of the FDA, U.S. Marshals seized more than 23,300 bottles of three dietary supplement products distributed by LG Sciences LLC, of Brighton, Mich. The seized products were marketed for use by body builders and distributed on the Internet and in retail stores under the names “Methyl 1-D,” “Methyl 1-D XL,” and “Formadrol Extreme XL.”
Based on laboratory tests, the FDA determined that the products contain one or more unapproved food additives and/or new dietary ingredients for which there is inadequate information to assure that the ingredients do not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Specifically, the condemned Methyl 1-D and Methyl 1-D XL contained 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dio ne, also known as “ATD” or 1,4,6-etioallocholan-dione. The condemned Formadrol Extreme XL contained ATD and 3,6,17-androstenetrione (also known as “6-OXO”). Both of these substances are steroids that inhibit the activity of the enzyme aromatase and may be found in dietary supplements promoted to boost testosterone levels. [1]
I find no coincidence that this product is produced by a little known LLC (Limited Liability Company) and Hydrxycut was produced by a company in Canada where they couldn't even sell it.
Any truly effective dietary aids would be produced by reputable companies and supported by studies. This market is so lucrative that if there were supplement (read natural or synthesized drugs) the big corporations would be all over it.
Once again, if there were a safe and effective dietary supplement for weight loss and or body building, rest-assured WE WOULD ALL KNOW ABOUT IT!!!!
