"It seems that bodybuilding supplement makers are challenging erectile dysfunction supplement makers to see who can recall the greatest number of products adulterated with undeclared, unapproved drugs.

In this case, an internet retailer of the following supplements has issued a voluntary recall of the following supplements sold between June 1, 2009 and November 17, 2009. The recall follows an FDA warning letter on detection of undeclared, synthetic anabolic steroids in these products:

We've previously spoken more broadly on this issue of unapproved drug adulteration of dietary supplements. Adulteration with pharmacologically active substances may be responsible for anecdotal reports that supplements exhibit quantifiable physiological effects. In fact, my November post on Stiff Nights erectile dysfunction supplement, known to contain Viagra-like phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, continues to rank among our most-read posts and garners testimonials galore - five in the past month alone.

Contrary to my earlier criticism of the DHSEA legislation that I thought allowed these cases to happen, I've since become more aware that DSHEA did nothing permissive for these cases. Following a great on-blog discussion with some legal and regulatory experts, we've learned that FDA has already had the authority to step in on these cases long before the 1994 passage of DSHEA.

1. That's funny.

The Gaspari products listed, as well as the Anabolic XTreme products listed are WELL known in the bodybuilding world to be as close to the real deal as one can buy legitimately. Some of these are direct rip-offs of the old (and very well known) Superdrol.

3. And this isn't Gaspari's first go around.

They had a product a few years ago called M1T (or Methyl-1-T, I believe) that was shown to be more anabolic than some of the hardcore stuff you had to buy illegally. All available at your local vitamin store for around $1/pill.
