Thread: Using 6-oxo as a stand alone product. Whats your input?

Why are you doing this?

Lol

I ask because it is primarily an AI.

true, but 6-OXO can be used as a stand alone, ideally I would combine E-Control Rx (6-OXO) with Ultra Male Rx, which should be in stock this month.

6-OXO can be used as a stand alone

for what?

I guess it has some "prohormone-ish" aspects (noting it is now a banned product), but given that it is primairly an AI, just wanted to make sure the expectation of it is appropriate.

6-OXO is not banned, if it were we would not be making/selling it.

OK not banned, however it sounds like they went after at least one specific situation:

Dietary Supplements Worth $1.3 Million Condemned and Forfeited to the United States Under Consent Decree

Dietary Supplements Worth $1.3 Million Condemned and Forfeited to the United States Under Consent Decree
FDA alleged ‘Body-building’ products contained unapproved food additive, new dietary ingredient and these products will now be destroyed
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division, today entered a consent decree that condemns and forfeits to the United States for destruction about $1.3 million worth of dietary supplements.

"The court order is the result of efforts by the federal government to protect consumers from products for which there is inadequate information to assure that they do not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury," said Michael Chappell, FDA’s acting associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. "It shows that the agency is prepared to use the necessary legal means to keep such products out of the marketplace."

At the request of the FDA, U.S. Marshals seized more than 23,300 bottles of three dietary supplement products distributed by LG Sciences LLC, of Brighton, Mich. The seized products were marketed for use by body builders and distributed on the Internet and in retail stores under the names "Methyl 1-D," "Methyl 1-D XL," and "Formadrol Extreme XL."

Based on laboratory tests, the FDA determined that the products contain one or more unapproved food additives and/or new dietary ingredients for which there is inadequate information to assure that the ingredients do not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Specifically, the condemned Methyl 1-D and Methyl 1-D XL contained 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione, also known as "ATD" or 1,4,6-etioallocholan-dione. The condemned Formadrol Extreme XL contained ATD and 3,6,17-androstenetrione (also known as "6-OXO"). Both of these substances are steroids that inhibit the activity of the enzyme aromatase and may be found in dietary supplements promoted to boost testosterone levels.

The FDA has no scientific information concerning the safety of the condemned products or their ingredients and, thus, cannot determine whether they represent a hazard to consumers. Under the circumstances, consumers who use or have used the products should discuss their use with their health care professionals.
The FDA also recommends that consumers consult their health care professionals if they have experienced any adverse events that they suspect are related to the products’ use.
Health care professionals and consumers may report serious adverse events (side effects) or product quality problems with the use of this product to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail, fax or phone.
