Important Supplement recall notice.

The trust we put into food and drug companies is outstanding.  Do we really know what goes on in the factories of where our supplements are made? For that fact do you even know, we are so busy checking what is in our supplements, have we ever checked to see in which country they are produced?

In a store filled with shinny glittery labels and promises of big muscles with this product or that product who do we know who we can trust? To the unsuspecting customer one would say all of them. I mean they have to go through the Federal Drug Administration right? Wrong, go home look at your protein or creatine, what does it say….these statements have not been tested by the FDA. Maybe they should have been…With the introduction of hormones into supplements back in 1999 it presented a danger of cross contamination with products such as protein powders and creatine. This was due lack of quality control in the manufacturing process of supplements. Hormones based products would often be manufactured in the same vats as other common supplements. For someone like me who competes in a drug free federation, what does this do for us? Imagine walking into nationals, taking a piss test and oh sir I see you are on steroids, please kindly remove yourself. WHAT!?!? Where it is tragic for any lifter who believes in competing drug free to fail a drug test in such a way it is YOUR RESPONSIBILTY as athletes to be aware of what you put in your bodies. Always research what you take extensively to avoid issues with your drug free status.

BODYBUILDING.COM Is Conducting a Voluntary Nationwide and International Recall of 65 Dietary Supplements That May Contain Steroids

Company Contact:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Boise, ID – November 3, 2009 – As part of its ongoing cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), Bodybuilding.com, LLC (the “Company”) announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide and international recall of all lots and expiration dates of 65 dietary supplement products (the “Recalled Products”) described on the attached list, that were sold through the Company’s website, www.bodybuilding.com.

The FDA has informed the Company that it believes that the Recalled Products contain ingredients that are steroids. Specifically, the FDA has advised the Company of its concern that the Recalled Products may contain the following ingredients that are currently classified, or the FDA believes should be classified, as steroids: “Superdrol,” “Madol,” “Tren,” “Androstenedione,” and/or “Turinabol.” While the Company has not had an opportunity to independently confirm the FDA’s concerns that the Recalled Products in fact contain these ingredients, the Company is undertaking this voluntary recall in an abundance of caution.

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.

The Company has not received to date any reports of adverse events in connection with the Recalled Products. Because of the possible harmful effects of using products containing steroids, the Company is cooperating with the FDA to conduct a recall of the products the FDA has identified as containing steroids. Prior to agreeing to carry the Recalled Products, the Company received assurances from all of the manufacturers of the Recalled Products that these products were properly classified as dietary supplements in compliance with federal law, meaning that these products did not contain any unlawful ingredient. Customers who have any of the Recalled Products in their possession should stop using them immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking one or more of the ingredients listed above.

Any adverse events that may be related to the use of the Recalled Products should be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm], by phone [1-800-FDA-1088], or by returning the postagepaid FDA form 3500 [which may be downloaded from www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm] by mail [to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787] or fax [1-800-FDA- 0178].

The Company is committed to providing accurate information about its products. The Company is working voluntarily with the FDA in this recall process.

Consumers should return any unused products purchased on the Company’s site to the Company. For instructions on how to return Recalled Products please call (1-866-236-8417) or e-mail (service@bodybuilding.com) the Company.
