Well from what I see in that article. It's probably not going to hinder our ability to obtain protein powder.

But I do see that it would put tighter constraints on sup companies to provide more testing and data to prove the supplement does not harm individuals.

The only thing it talks about banning is DHEA.

I do see some what of a possitive to this. I might make it harder for sup companies to market their BS supplements. It seems now a days these companies can just come up with some crazy mix of stuff and sell it without any proof that it provides any good or bad to the consumer.

On the down side though, it's going to raise the price of everything since the sup companies have to spend more on resources to provide the testing and data.

Jesus Christ!  I'm broke as it is.  I already cut my supplement budget to less than a hundred dollars per month.

welcome to the land of the free if you all havnt noticed yet we have no freedom they just let us think we do   i say if people want to use the roids and all that other crap let them as long as it doesnt hurt anyone else its kinda like the seatbelt laws y should the government decide for me to wear a seat belt if i dont want to its my life  thats the way i feel about it all me i dont use supplements to much dont get me wrong used a few and they worked great but tryin to do the rest myself roids i think are a waste of money anyways ive known people on them and as soon as they get off they srival up to the size they were before anyways

That sucks. 100$ lasts me like 4+ months but I'm still not excited for a raise in prices.

Cut to less than $100 a month!!
Damn man, what where you talking that was costing over $100 a month?
Is it worth it?

Previous:

BSN NO Xplode $40
BSN Cellmass $40
Optimum PM Protein $30
Optimum Whey $20
Multivitamin $10

Here's what I cut it to:

Universal Storm $20
Probolic SR $30
Optimum Whey $20
Multivitamin $10

The supplements from my previous budget worked great, but I can do without spending the extra 60 dollars a month.  The whey protein and the multivitamin are necessities, but I choose to spend the extra 50 dollars on the electives.

you used up all of that every month?

Pretty much.  It doesn't hurt my pockets that bad.  My Dad sends me the money to pay for all of my stuff like supplements, clothes, and whatever else I need.  When the money isn't coming out of your pockets, you don't think about it as much.  I had no idea I was spending that much money on supplements until I sat down and did the math.  Now I can spend that other 60 bucks on stuff like PSP games.

I know all of you guys are going to think this is ridiculous, but here is my point of view.  I believe myself that the "ban" on supplements is due to the lack of control the government has on supplement companies.  I believe that the supplement companies are becoming too wealthy and therefore too powerful. 
 
The government, not being able to tax and control supplements as they please, will just not do for them.  The government, I believe is becoming somewhat intimidated by these growing companies, and wants to dissolve this problem immediately.
 
All of this concern about the consumer is a cover for the real motive behind this ban.
 
Consider this: The government creates laws that require the FDA and other drug companies to require prescriptions for certain supplements.  Do none of you think that these same politicians proposing these "bans" would not get a piece of this new action?  I mean, the FDA is one of the most powerful entities in the entire world.  However, that is just what i think, you all can think what you want.

LOL!!

Sounds like something I would say back in the days when I was smoking the chronic

I couldnt care less if they ban it all, I'll still know where to find and get my protein, its never gonna stop me.
 
I dont take anything other then protein either so I guess I would actually be happy if we were all on the same level, and there was no cheating.

They sell trillions of ciggarettes each year fine, but they dont like us drinking supplements putting stuff into our bodies? because it may harm us?
 
Uh-huh
 
SUUUUUURRRRREEEE
 
RIIIIIIGHT
 
The chances are prices will raise in taxes like cigarettes in these substances too.
even though theyre already ****ing expensive

roids yesterday, supplements today, what tomorrow?
