It took years before the FDA will seriously look into "herbal" or "alternative" products, since no direct science backs the use of herbs, it takes much longer for them to research about it. MaHwang was such a hit in the early 90s, ngayon lang na ban... Andro was the "legal" steroid before, it took years before it is finally banned.

Like all supplements, study about it, if you prefer to take your personal opinion over stuff you read, then that's fine, it's your body. Same with using drugs or what not, if you believe you're educated enough for any drug to be used on YOURSELF, then by all means, do so.

But personally, as an admin of this site, will not push the use of any product especially if most of the board users are new to supplementation and may not know what possible effects it may have on their bodies.

If you're a seasoned supplement user, like IronHead, for example, maybe then you can make educated purchasing decisions about supplements as to which is acceptable for your personal use, be it a simple vitamin or any testosterone product.

But if a member is new, and we fall into the marketing hype of "sige subukan... ok naman sya eh" type of reviews, then that's not very educational for anybody who is trying to learn more before ingesting certain chemicals.

Again, di ako pessimist o kontrabida mga kapatid, pero keep in mind that ALL product labels are made by marketing experts, NOT SCIENTISTS or DOCTORS... Marketing sells, studies don't.

About trusting FDA, read that same article...

One FDA approved drug – 27,000 dead.

Citing a study by government regulators, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FDA approved prescription drug Vioxx may have led to more than 27,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths in less than 4 years. Vioxx was “voluntarily” pulled from the market last week.

This may be the tip of the prescription iceberg. The new class of COX-2 inhibitors was designed to decrease stomach discomfort. But the very mechanism that makes the drugs easier on the stomach than other painkillers also blocks the substance that helps prevent heart problems.

The scary thing is that studies as far back as 1999 showed that blocking the selective prostaglandin that causes inflammation and pain is also the “good” prostaglandin as far as the heart and arteries are concerned. Blocking the “good” prostaglandin eases pain without stomach discomfort but increases the risk of high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries and clotting to the tune of a conservative 27,000 deaths and counting.

Add this to the increased suicide risk associated with anti-depressants (the most overly prescribed drug in the US) and it makes you wonder just what the FDA’s mission is – to protect the public or ensure mega-profits for the drug companies as the body count mounts.

-- Go figure.
