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 exciting promises, like you will gain 20 pounds in one month, or burn 10 pounds of fat in two weeks, yet they are not legally obligated to produce even one iota of evidence to support these outlandish 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, and why? Because they know we will buy the EASY ANSWER, hoping for the bottled abdominal sculptor or powdered weight gain miracle -- IT DOES NOT EXIST, and to continue searching for muscle building or fat loss in a supplement will simply prolong your frustration, and keep you from achieving REAL RESULTS.

I'd consider myself lucky if I had only been fooled once or twice by supplement companies, but 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, instead of investing my day in eating and training properly to achieve the results I so desperately wanted.
