Do Prohormones Cause More Side Effects Than Steroids?

Friday, December 28th, 2007

In the latest Muscular Development, a very interesting comment is made about how prohormones are toxic and many have side effects similar to anabolic steroids. The thing is that prohormones, being ingested by mouth, must pass through the liver before it can hit the blood. This can negatively affect the liver. This is in contrast steroids that are injected, which bypass completely the liver, thus, not having much of an effect on it all.

As the column states, prohormones are actually more toxic and possess more side effects than real injectable anabolic steroids. Amazing, huh!!?

BSN being sued for alledged false advertising of ingredients

Friday, December 28th, 2007

As reported by GetBig, the bodybuilding supplement manufacturer BSN is being sued by Michael Rivera and Dan Abell. They are alleging that BSN claims that some of their supplements contain CEM3 (Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate), when in actuality, according to Rivera and Abell, they don’t. The two gentlemen also are claiming that BSN does not have a patent on this substance, even though the company says they do.

On the flip side of things, BSN has released an official response to these allegations, claiming that the accusations being brought against them are completely false. In the statement, they also go on and mention some awards they have recently won, that you can’t believe what’s said on the message boards, and that they have in fact filed a patent for CEM3 (Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate).

I’m sure we’ll soon see how this all develops, especially being that BSN has quickly become one of the main players in the dietary supplement industry, endorsing such excellent athletes like Ronnie Coleman, Monica Brant, Anthony Presciano, Trey Brewer, Brandon Curry, Anthony Galvan, and Julian Greaux.
