I know! My spell checker filled it in!

Exactly. I as well think that a lot of supplements get more from placebo effect than from the fancy ingredients with hard to pronounce names that supposedly turn you into Hulk.

Thanks, Owen! 🙂

Derek, I honestly wonder why there is no bigger interest in getting this mess cleaned up. What other interests come into play there?

It’s similar here in Europe: So far the EFSA only has a say in vitamin supplements. The rest basically can still be as the manufacturers like them.

It’s a real word, I swear! 🙂

Exactly. In truth, you you don’t need anything else.

I’m glad I am in Canada where they are at least attempting to regulate… Well that and the fact that I hardly ever use protein powder (plain wey isolate) except when camping. I won’t touch other supplements. Good whole foods are all I need!

So my understanding is it’s regulated but not for prevention, it’s regulated in cleaning up the mess like recalling a Frankenstein creation. Then the again the same lab would probably do it again under another product. Part of solving the problem is prevention unless they don’t see this as a problem ‘well hey has these ever seriously killed someone or injured someone?’ That’s there logic, so it must be safe.

The ingredients list is sort of defeated when you skip some ingredients, big ones like steroid precursors
