Supplements Are Being Made Illegal!
Stop Congress >From Making Another Supplement Illegal:Ask your Senators and Representative to oppose S. 1137 and any companion House legislation.
Dear Friend,
On May 26, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced a bill that would ban DHEA, a vital dietary supplement that provides many important health benefits. Last year the government banned prohormone and ephedra supplements, and they won’t rest until all nutritional supplements are regulated and sold by big pharmaceutical companies. This is our last chance to prevent Congress from taking DHEA off our shelves and to stop these ill-informed politicians in their tracks.
Your help is needed immediately! Join us along with the Sports & Fitness Supplement Association (SFSA) in sending a message to Washington today. Take 60 seconds to send lawmakers an e-mail as described below, and together we can keep this safe and effective dietary supplement legal and preserve your freedom to choose dietary supplements.
Why Should We Oppose This Bill?
This legislation, S. 1137, would classify DHEA as an anabolic steroid, adding it to the list of controlled substances and removing it from the market. Similar legislation is expected soon in the House of Representatives.
DHEA is not an anabolic steroid. It is a naturally occurring hormone that offers a wide range of benefits, including maintaining muscle tissue and strong bones, boosting immunity, and improving mood and sleep patterns. Further studies suggest DHEA may be helpful for such conditions as obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. DHEA dietary supplements, which have been on the market for more than 20 years, are derived from a plant in the wild yam family.
This legislation claims to prevent abuse of steroids by athletes. However, DHEA, unlike androstenedione and other hormone precursors closer to testosterone, does not have a marked effect in building muscle or enhancing performance. Researchers at Harvard University conducted surveys of weightlifters and other athletes and found that DHEA is rarely — if ever — used by athletes for performance enhancement.
