    Default USP Labs OxyElite Pro Found with prozac

    USP Labs OxyElite Pro Found with prozac

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/virginiahugh...bd#.trxxewgAWG

    OxyElite Pro Super Thermogenic, a dietary supplement marketed for weight loss, contains the prescription drug fluoxetine, better known as Prozac.
    In a public notification letter released Saturday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned consumers “not to purchase or use” the product.
    The FDA found Prozac, or fluoxetine, in OxyElite Pro Super Thermogenic during an “examination of international mail shipments,” the letter said.
    Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI, a class of prescription drug that is commonly used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder.

    “Uses of SSRIs have been associated with serious side effects including suicidal thinking, abnormal bleeding, and seizures,” the FDA letter said.

    This is not the first time that the supplement’s manufacturer, Texas-based USPlabs, has been sanctioned by the FDA. It’s not even the first time an Oxy product has.

    Usp labs ... Lol .. They are solely responsible for all this mess with supps right now.. They hit the market so hard and fast.. All I used to sell at the nutrition store was their products .. Didn't even have to "sell" them.. Everyone just loved them.. But now we know why .. Usp labs def changed the pre work out game..

    It was first taken off the shelves by the Swedish about 2 years ago I think. A friend of mine who competes told me to try it over a year ago ,couldnt find it anywhere as the UK was also investigating it.The company at the time claimed it was counterfeit products that were causing all the health issues in users.

    I remember watching the news a couple of years back and a average joe used their line and ended up with hepatitis, he was blaming the product but who knows what else he was doing

    Now this today:


    http://news.yahoo.com/oep-product-counterfeit-071600872.html



    The genuine OEP has not been manufactured since October 2013. OEP has always been labeled with a three year expiration date. The last lot manufactured had an expiration date of 10/16. The counterfeit product expiration date of 04/17 is therefore obviously fraudulent.

    The genuine OEP, made in capsules, uniformly had lot numbers beginning with the numeral "4". The counterfeit product lot number of 216732 is therefore obviously fraudulent. The Company has verified that no OEP product (or other Company product) has ever had the lot number of 216732.

    Mannnn I was such a USP Labs junkie when they were relatively new on bodybuilding.com. I bought into all their supps: anabolic pump, recreate, prime, jack3d, modern bcaa. Back then, it contained the good stuff though which helped because I was natty

    Using a SSRI in a supplement, really. I hope they are severely punished for that and go Bankrupt.
    What is the next step ? Using Heroine or Benzodiazepine in their product ? What a bunch of morons

    It's one thing to claim 23 g of protein on the label and having 20G. Or saying it does contains some good stuff in high quantity, and it's only there in low quantity.
    It's already a fraud but nobody will be physically hurt.

    Now they put that Shit (Prozac) into a supplement, and harm the whole central nervous system of their consumer, maybe turning them into junkie; harming their health (seizure, insomnia for bodybuilding, respiratory problems etc etc ).

    Bob thank you for sharing this info !

    To the question, why would this company put prozac or an other SSRI or a benzo in their product. Well it's pretty simple. It makes the consumer hooked. They will feel well when they use it, and when they're off, they will experience headache, cold, vision disturbance, restless legs, insomnia, tons of other symptoms and overall feel bad. They could already be hooked if they took the supplement more than 4 weeks. But a lil hooked the Gaba receptors will only down regulate a little in 4 weeks, their own downing neurotransmitters such as Gaba and serotonine will be produce in less quantity so that the body could achieve "homeostasis" and it's only dose related => (So seizure won't really be a problems), but uncomfortable other symptoms would.


    I sincerely hope they face as much years of jail as hard drug dealers (heroine, meth etc)

    Well good luck getting hold of them. I thin it's one of those cases that will just fizzle out.

    I sincerely hope they will hammer them badly.

    It's one thing to lie on the % of the ingredients within a supplement (for instance the protein within a Bar/ quest bar), it's an other thing to put such dangerous drugs in a supplement without mentioning it. The next step : Heroine/Valium in a Sleep product ?

    It's disgusting. If they punish them hard and do a precedent, maybe other supplement company won't risk doing the same shit.

    Well they have to find those who did it first and by the look of things they are not even in the States. Countries like Brazil were mentioned as being the source of those counterfeit products which is why I said "good luck finding them".
