Important safety information about TREN-Xtreme, MASS Xtreme, ESTRO Xtreme, AH-89-Xtreme, HMG Xtreme, MMA-3 Xtreme, VNS-9 Xtreme, and TT-44-Xtreme

Important safety information has been released by the FDA that the following products: TREN-Xtreme, MASS Xtreme, ESTRO Xtreme, AH-89-Xtreme, HMG Xtreme, MMA-3 Xtreme, VNS-9 Xtreme, and TT-40-Xtreme contain steroids.


Serious adverse events are associated with the use of these products and other similar products include: liver injury, stroke, kidney failure and pulmonary embolism (blockage of an artery in the lung). It is recommended that you immediately stop using all body building products that claim to contain steroids or steroid-like substances. Consult a health care professional if you are experiencing symptoms possibly associated with these products, particularly nausea, weakness or fatigue, fever, abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) or brown/discolored urine.


This type of misbranding (including ingredients in a product that are not listed on the label) is common among dietary supplements. One hypothesis for some professional athletes (e.g. major league baseball players) testing positive for steroids is the use of dietary supplements such as these that contain steroids not listed on the label.
