As i have been saying these supplements are full of steroids.
They sell because steroids work.
Also no penalties for steroids in the supplements? What is that about? Shut these drug dealers down.

This is the real reason these "supplements" work as they are full of steroids. How many times does the FDA have to find steroids in products that are guaranteed steroid free before they shut down the industry?
Every time the FDA takes the time to investigate these products they find steroids that are not listed in the ingredients. This whole industry prays on the uninformed.

Seminole if you end up with kidney and liver damage you will know who to sue as all of the supplement manufactures need steroids in their products to build muscle the other ingredients are BS.

FDA informed MuscleMaster(dot)com that it believes that the recalled products contain ingredients that are steroids

MuscleMaster(dot)com Products Sold on Internet as Dietary Supplements: Recall

Audience: Consumers

MuscleMaster(dot)com, Inc. and FDA notified consumers and healthcare professionals of the voluntary nationwide recall of all lots and expiration dates of the seventeen dietary supplements listed in the firm press release, sold between June 1, 2009 and November 17, 2009. FDA informed MuscleMaster(dot)com that it believes that the recalled products contain ingredients that are steroids. FDA is concerned the products may present a safety risk to consumers who ingest them. Acute liver injury is known to be a possible harmful effect of using steroid-containing products. In addition, steroids may cause other serious long-term adverse health consequences in men, women, and children. These include shrinkage of the testes and male infertility, masculinization of women, breast enlargement in males, short stature in children, a higher predilection to misuse other drugs and alcohol, adverse effects on blood lipid levels, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.

Customers who have these products in their possession should stop using them immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to using one or more of the products. Any adverse events that may be related to use should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program online [at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm], by phone 1-800-332-1088, or by returning the postage-paid FDA form 3500 [which may be downloaded from the MedWatch "Download Forms" page] by mail [to address on the pre-addressed form] or fax [1-800-FDA-0178].
