Several postings have talked about how bad the Nutritional Supplement Industry is, that it is just a bunch of unproven claims, that "the difference is being able to back up your marketing claims and nO one can".
What do you think about the raids by the FBI, IRS and FDA at "nutritional companies" like BALCO in San Fran. There are a lot of unscrupulous companies out there. Kelli White an Olympic runner tested positive for banned substances and is in danger of loosing the medals she won in Paris.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency plays an important role in Athletics all over. Consumer Labs (a private, 3rd party comp. that tests nutritional supplements for the U S Angi-Doping Agency) has tested OVER 700 nutritional supplements and only 7 have passed the Anti-Doping Code..."do not contain any banned substances including stimulants, narcotics, any type of steriod, diuretics or masking agents". ONE COMPANY is the manufacturer of ALL 7 PRODUCTS.
THE ABILITY TO MEASURE IS THE BASIS OF SCIENCE.
Science is HOW you back up your marketing claims. That is why there is ONLY ONE company that is endorsed by the U S Olympic Committee. Only ONE company that is ALLOWED to display the Olympic Logo on their products.
All nutritional companies can tell a STORY, but being able to back it up with scientific data on the completed products, thats where the rubber meets the road.
If you are interested in finding out about this company, send me an e-mail.
