Supplements
« on: October 09, 2013, 09:16:26 AM »
Most of us with time know almost all bodybuilding supplements are a waste of money and it can also be bad for your health. They are completely unregulated. No one is testing what's in any of this stuff. How many whey proteins claim to be better than the other when the dirty secret is most of them source their materials from the same supplier. So many materials are cheaper from China but they don't have to tell you that. They only put distributed by on the label. Remember when creatine from China was so contaminated that the German company Creapure's main selling point was that it was pure compared to all the american brands using Chinese creatine?

Any of you guys using this GNC sold supplement?   http://on.aol.com/video/diet-supplement-oxyelite-pro-pulled-from-shelves-after-liver-failure-cases-517964162?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing8%7Cdaily-buzz7%7Csec8_lnk1%7C388782

Brought to you by the same awesome country that put melamine in baby formula and pet food in order to mimic a higher protein content.  Gee, I wonder what unregulated consumables it got into.

I want nothing to do with anything that comes out of China.  Neither does anyone else, for the most part.  That's why everyone goes to incredible lengths to hide the fact that what they are selling you was made there.

China has just gotten the okay to sell chicken here. Frightening.
