Soooooo...what happened to the insider info?
I can add what I can. The dirt I've come across:
1> Back in 99-2000, the suppl company Biotest was starting up and had an awesome fat burner, I think it was called T3, it actually did have the real prescription thyroid drug in it in some %.
2> The company known as Protein Factory which sells direct, custom mixtures and some other basic suppl was exposed as a side business of someone in NJ who runs a wholesale feed/pet food store. The 2 "companies" share the same space dog food goes in one bag, protein powder goes in the next
3> Most of the creatine ethyl ester brands were either just regular creatine or some sort of mix for the first 6 months or so they were on the market. Some still are.
4>Most first run prohormones/prosteroids like M1T, superdrol, etc that have been out in the past couple years are waaaaay off on the content. It usually takes the chem houses that make these overseas several runs to get an accurate compound in the correct quantities. Supplement companies dont usually do their own product testing for QA, and with these pro-hormones that are fresh on the market don't even have a chemical standard to test against in the first place. IOW, no one knows if they got the ingredient right because there's no way to test it.
