Usnic Acid pulled from Species Nutrition line
by Anthony Roberts on July 31, 2010
In a rare instance of the entire nutritional supplement community coming together, the day is finally here when all voices are united in making a singular statement:
WE TOLD YOU SO!
Usnic Acid has officially been removed from the Species Nutrition product line. I guess technically this means the entire nutritional industry wasn???t united, because Species was the odd man out???but you get the picture. Everyone who, two years ago, shook their heads in disgust when they heard about Usnic Acid being used in Dave Palumbo???s product line, can now say that they were right all along.
I???m talking to you, Mr. Pierce.
I???m talking to you, Mr. Kneller.
I???m talking to you, Mr. Goodrum
I???m even talking to you, Mr. Blechman.
The amazing thing here is that Dave Palumbo is being sued for putting a dangerous product on the market???and he???s inevitably going to lose (or settle) the lawsuit. Retailers have pulled his products off their shelves. Nobody wants to work with his company. And now he???s even removed the dangerous ingredient from the products???.yet he???ll never publicly admit that he f*cked up. He???ll let his cronies keep talking about how it was a ???business decision??? and how Dave was right all along, and that Usnic Acid is safe, blah blah blah???
But perhaps this is a victory of sorts, because while his company will still produce mediocre products, at least they won???t be dangerous.
Then again, maybe not.
- [*Unfortunately, while I knew about the reformulation for about a month, I sat on the info to protect a source, and the company officially announced it two days prior to my last blog post (which is now amended, because I look like a douche for predicting something that had happened two days prior - also, H/T to AnabolicSociety.net for informing me about the already-posted reformulation of these products. ]
