Hey everyone, it's been a while since I have made a post in this sub. However, I saw a new research study today that I wanted to bring up. It highlights why my main mission over the past 10 years has been to not only advance the lab testing and quality control standards of the industry, but also to educate consumers on what to look out for, and how things work in the background. We are all ingesting these products! We are putting them into our bodies, so it's crucial that companies selling them do everything necessary to ensure they are what they claim to be, and are pure and free from contaminants. That is unfortunately the vast exception to the rule. Many of you may remember my post about turkesterone results from last year.

Son of a bitch! I reread it multiple times, and even had my team read it to find discrepancies before posting. We all missed the typo!!!

That's also why I have been hesitant to go that route. The issue is, it's not getting better. It's getting worse. There's so much straight up fraud right now, I just can't keep sitting back and watching it!
