Letter From The Editor

In an election year, politics seem to be at the forefront of every media outlet imaginable.  You can’t turn on the television or radio without hearing some form of political banter.   Believe it or not, politics has a lot to do with what you can or can’t put inside your body. This past year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of nutritional supplements containing the herb ephedra.  In the near future, U.S. legislation is going to ban the use of products containing highly effective prohormones such as Androstenediol, Norandrostenediol, 1-AD, and 1-Test.  What products go next is anyone's guess, but you can bet that the more they are effective at causing physiological or performance improvements, the more likely they are to be targeted next by the government. This has more to do with unfair competitive advantages in sports than it has to do with safety issues, but no one is effectively fighting for the rights of non-competitive athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

So, should we be happy that the government is trying to protect us from supplements that are dangerous? Think about it, the FDA allows adult consumers to use products such as alcohol and tobacco, yet doesn’t let the consumer make a choice about ephedra or prohormones.  To date, there are few documented deaths related to ephedra or prohormones overdose.  Certainly there are some pretty staggering death tolls associated with products such as alcohol, tobacco and even many over-the-counter pain killers. No one is questioning whether some people might abuse any substance and certainly kids should not be taking some supplements, but instead of banning these nutritional supplements for all adults, maybe a better approach would have been to make a minimum age requirement to use the products. 

What does all of this mean to the consumer in America?  First of all, rest assured that there are still many effective and innovative nutritional products still on the market.  Also know that supplement manufacturers will continue to research and develop cutting edge products to help you add lean muscle, burn fat, gain strength and improve health. Believe it or not, there are still some old reliable stand-by supplements that have worked for many years and will continue to be popular for years to come.  One such product, creatine monohydrate, has withstood the test of time.  It still sells very well and that is simply because it still works very effectively.  Guess what, creatine is not legal in some countries so maybe we don’t have it so bad!

Now, what about some of the other newer products that the FDA has not picked on?  One of the most popular products today are the nitric oxide stimulators.  Products such as NOX2 and NOS Matrix are very effective, get very good reviews from users and seem to not yet be on the chopping block by the government. Another very popular product has been the omega 3 fatty acids.  Products like Pure Omega 3 have been selling like hotcakes and new studies are coming out all the time promoting the beneficial health effects of omega-3's.

The bottom line is, you - the consumer - have the final say.  Even though it seems like the government is stepping on your toes, rest assured that the same companies that brought you ephedra and prohormones are busy staying one step ahead in helping you achieve your goals.  Please do all you can to let your legislators know how you feel about the importance of supplement freedom. For the time being, let's all be happy that we still have better access to great nutritional supplements than many other areas of the world - and undoubtedly new science will bring us even better products in the future.

Your Friend,
