Title: Rumor? Novadex by Gaspari Pulled?
Post by: darksol on October 23, 2010, 04:19:43 PM
A buddy of mine told me this the other night.  Granted I tried Novadex a few times and the stuff definitely worked.  Was it really pulled from the market?

I don't know if it's official, but I remember reading a short while back that OTC aromatase-inhibitors ala Gaspari's would likely be pulled from the market.
I know that Musclemeds' version (Arimadex?) saw a substantial change to its formula as well as its name & label.

The same can be said for more and more things.

How far are we from black market multi-vitamins?

as far as i am concerned to stuff on the black market is waaayy safer than the legal stuff on the shelves.....

most over the counter muscle builders are poison with a side effect of muscle growth...

the product actually converts through the body into equipoise which is why it was pulled. Whats funny is after I took it my natural test levels never bounced back and my LH was chronically supressed. I could never figure out why until I found out about this.

I've never been a fan of these type supplements along with prohormones.  I guess there is just too much we don't know about them short and long term.  At least with steroids you know what the side effects are going to be and how to combat them.  With stuff like this ya really just don't know.  

I remember a guy I used to work with was taking prohormones (I know its not the same as NovedexXT) and he said he could "feel his liver grinding to break this stuff down".  Would complain about fatigue and lethargy.  Risk vs. reward, this suff just isnt worth it imo.

According to MuscleMag, L-carnitine requires a prescription. You can get it here in the USA for $5 to $6, depending on where you shop.

That's Bob Kennedy's mag.
I presume, then, they mean that Canadians need a Rx for it?

Is that, yet, another "benefit" of socialized medicine?

complete bullshit.....this stuff comes around every year.....a guy gets popped on a steroid test, and immediately provides a empty bottle of a over the counter product to save his ass....example=every professional football, and baseball player ever!!!

and even if it did turn to eq you wouldn't have any noticeable effects, or "suppression" for the amount of time you were on "novadex"..
