How the Government’s Crackdown on Illegal Steroids Can Make Bodybuilding Safer: The Apextra Labs Commitment to Legal, Safe Supplements

In a recent blow to the supplement industry, two Texas-based companies—Hardcore Formulations and Andropharm—were forced to recall several products containing illegal anabolic steroids. Hardcore Formulations voluntarily recalled Ultra-Sten (methylstenbolone) and D-Zine (dymethazine) on July 6, 2017, while Andropharm recalled Sten Z (methylstenbolone) and M1 Alpha (methyl 1-AD) on July 12, 2017.

Both companies received warning letters from the FDA’s Office of Pharmaceutical Quality Operations, informing them that the products being marketed as dietary supplements contained synthetic steroids, which did not meet the legal definition of dietary ingredients. The ingredients in question, such as methylstenbolone, dymethazine, and others, are synthetic anabolic steroids, not naturally occurring substances.

These recalls are part of an ongoing effort by the government to crack down on the illicit sale of anabolic steroids masquerading as supplements. While this action helps protect consumers from unsafe products, it also sheds light on a much larger problem: supplement companies marketing dangerous and unregulated steroid alternatives in the guise of legal dietary supplements.

Why Are Supplements Like These Dangerous?

The claim of “steroid-like” gains is a common sales pitch used by companies selling illegal anabolic steroids. In the past, companies would advertise supplements that promised the same muscle-building effects as steroids, but often failed to deliver. The problem arose when companies stopped trying to create legal, effective products and began selling actual anabolic steroids instead—products that were both illegal and highly dangerous.

The risks associated with these synthetic steroids are considerable, particularly when it comes to liver toxicity. While traditional oral steroids like Anadrol, Anavar, and Dianabol are well-known and, in some cases, have been studied for medical use, the synthetic steroids sold under the label of "dietary supplements" are often far more toxic and unregulated.

A New Era of Regulation and Safety

The government’s Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act (DASCA) of 2014 was a significant step in addressing the widespread sale of synthetic steroids masquerading as legal supplements. While the Act has helped reduce the number of companies selling these dangerous products, many still defy the law, putting consumers at risk.

However, the crackdown on the sale of synthetic steroids in supplements is ultimately benefiting consumers. These underground steroid alternatives are often far more dangerous than their black-market counterparts due to their high liver toxicity. In many ways, the government’s actions have made the marketplace safer, not by eliminating steroid use, but by eliminating poorly formulated, highly dangerous products that put bodybuilders and athletes at serious health risk.

The Future of Safe Supplementation

As the government continues to clamp down on unsafe and illegal anabolic steroid products, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts should be cautious about where they source their supplements. While the crackdown may drive some consumers toward the black market, it’s essential to understand that not all steroids are created equal. Traditional anabolic steroids, although still illegal, can often be safer and more predictable than the unregulated synthetic steroids that are sold under the guise of dietary supplements.
