I’m putting in my orders for the ingredients I use in my homemade pre workout, and I can’t help but remember how wild the supplements were back in the day.

There was a lot of stuff that worked well, and the regulations were super relaxed.

The ephedra era was the shit. Extreme ripped fuel, ephedra tea, weird prohormone capsules in oil, even first gen stuff like Jack3d.

I’ll never forget around 2003 leaving GNC with garbage bags full of supplements they had to get off their shelves.

In like 2004, I made the website for a local health store that paid me half in basically a pallet of shit the FDA banned.

I think many abused it leading to some to stroke out from dehydration and nuking kidneys, maybe even heart attacks from pushing too hard while amped to the nines... I don't know if these particular supplements were caught up like sinus stuff was where the pseudoephedrine was extracted for meth making, but it makes sense for the ban...

On the other hand, smoking rock and washing it down with red bull is also a method to cut weight!
