Supplement Ban?

Animal is right about the possible future. There is a strong push to "harmonize" supplement laws globally. The primary vehicle is the international Codex Alimentarius, which the FDA is supporting. Harmonization will mean bringing U.S. laws in line with the more restrictive laws already in place in Europe. Beware.

ishhh next on the list then creatine for sure.....
 
Funny you should say that, Manny. Today’s popular prohormone products are in grave jeopardy. And those who are committed to eradicating sports nutrition supplements may not stop there. They’re already planting seeds on Capitol Hill. In recent meetings with industry representatives, Congressional staffers expressed concern for still other products associated with building muscle. One staffer asked if creatine monohydrate was a steroid, and if not, then on what alternative basis it too could be banned. Thankfully, she hadn’t heard about glutamine or whey protein. Clearly, the negative perception of these products seems to have much less to do with any possible adverse health risks than with the apparently terrible possibility that they might help build muscle. As one Congressional aide pointedly put it, “If they work, we’ll ban them.” With a bizarrely skewed system of values like this, effective sports supplements could soon become extinct. The only ones left on the market would be the ones that do nothing at all.
 
I wouldn't doubt that for a minute.

Creatine is already banned by high schools, so it is entirely conceivable that they will get it banned as a 'steroid' with the current anti-PH act in order to save the children.

Clen is considered a steroid for all practicle purposes, so doing it to creatine is in the cards.

This was told to me by a GNC employee, and after further research I have found that only GNC is taking them off their shelves and heard a variety of reasons why.
 
Re: California, the current "situation" with prohormones is a different issue from the federal bills. There was state legislation and also a proclamation by a Cali Deputy AG on the diols. I wrote a column on the latter topic in last month's Muscular Development magazine.

Re: GNC, a lot of factors go into a corporate decision to voluntarily discontinue a product line.
 
Rick, is there a way of setting up a televised debate between you and some notible scientists and physicians vs. these policy-happy govt officials??? This might help in changing perception of supplements and AAS with the general public. And also expose that these govt meatheads really have no hard evidence against banning these supplements, and it's really their own twisted agenda. If anyone would be able to stick it to them it would be you!
