If I was trying to get my fingers in the pie that is the global market of

supplementation worth ~25 billion globally, I too would say something like

the statement below (don't forget they are selling the product):

" *17-HD (17- Halo-Methyl--drone) is a revolutionary* all natural

anabolic formula designed to help pack on lean muscle pounds. It elevates

serum levels of free testosterone resulting in an increase in strength,

size, and work-out intensity. The patent pending hydroxalation process

rearranges the hydrogen and oxygen molecules on the natural steroid ring of

a highly anabolic South American plant source. However, there are no

additional synthetic " side chain " attached (This would be classified as a

designer steroid because the synthetic side chain is added). This potent

substrate is in your system in a matter of minutes giving a rush of pure

power which reaches every muscle cell in your body. It is not only highly

androgenic and anabolic but it also causes rapid cell regeneration, and is

anti-estrogenic as well. If your looking for a leaner more muscular

physique, and hair raising intensity during your workouts, Then 17-HD is the

answer. After only one pill you can't deny the amazing power of this cutting

edge phenomenon. 17-HD is the new King of natural muscle enhancement. " (

My view from some work I am currently doing:

It is known many countries around the world allow foodstuff that does not

claim to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure disease to bypass checking of

claims. Athletic performance enhancement falls way out of this loosely

controlled standards bracket of claim disclosure.

This supplement is in a group called Ecdysterones, it is derived from insect

hormones (phytoecdysteroids). It may come under a number of names:

Ectysterone, 20 â-Hydroxyecdysterone, turkesterone, Ponasterone, Ecdysone,

or Ecdystene. The substance the potential to promote changes in body

composition if results from insect and animal (quail) studies transfer to

humans. If you were an insect or quail or considering personal training for

this group then I would say could be a good choice of supplement. As of yet

it would be hard to predict what effect it will have in humans, and how safe

it is. Something that builds insects does not necessarily build humans. I'm

sitting on the fence with this one because it is too early to tell with the

lack of quality information.

Think carefully about putting the new 'king of natural muscle enhancement'

into your body without really knowing what is going to happen (short- or

long-term).
