In an interview conducted by CBS news, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter said, nutritional supplements are not subjected to pre-clearance. Hence, it is important that you do a research for a particular product before buying or using it.
Dr. Zeid Kayali, a liver transplant from Loma Linda University Medical Center in California, witnessed the severity of liver damage among a group of patients who has taken the nutritional supplement Tren. He was so alarmed that he reported it to US FDA.
Tyrone LaRose, a 42-year-old bodybuilder and an MBA student was one of those cases affected by Tren. In fact, LaRose is a part of the series of cases who filed a lawsuit against American Cellular Laboratories, the makers of Tren.
LaRose bought the supplement last fall and started using the product for three straight months. According to him, he took the supplement way below the recommend dosage. However, he was surprised to develop jaundice. His father had to take him to the hospital since his eyes were almost cat green and his skin just looks so terrible.
Upon biopsy, it was determined that LaRose had a severe liver damage.
La Rose swore that had he known the product was anabolic steroids, he would not have taken it. He was just not the type to resort to steroids in order to achieve the muscle gain he wanted.
From CBS News:
(CBS) Since the first CBS News story aired last March, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has begun to crack down on designer steroids like Tren, but as CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reported on "The Early Show," they are still very available -- and very dangerous.
