Why Do Muscle Building and Fat Loss Supplement Companies Lie About Their Products?

So, how can these supplement giants legally deceive the public? Easy. Although the supplement industry is regulated, government agencies perform no formal testing to determine whether even the most outlandish muscle building and fat loss claims are legitimate. This means that supplement companies can make numerous stimulating promises, yet are not legally obligated to produce even one iota of their potency claims. Scary, huh? Think about it -- each month you see a new "testosterone booster", "growth hormone replacement", "fat burning" or "anti-catabolic" supplement hit the market, just adding to the already overpopulated "health food store" shelf. The moment they create a clever advertising campaign aimed at ME, the bodybuilder, telling ME how I can gain 30 pounds or cut bodyfat levels by 20% simply by mixing some smelly, awful tasting powder with grape juice or pop 3 pills a day, I go out and spend $50, or more, and buy it! They say "fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me". I'd consider myself lucky to have only been fooled twice by supplement companies, yet I instead placed faith for many years in supplement advertising despite my prior failures in using such products. As a result, I purchased a wide variety of muscle building and fat burning supplements, which puts shame squarely on MY shoulders. Investigating the various supplement offerings cost me a mint, and helped me to waste plenty of precious time at health food stores.
