Competitive Edge Labs, LLC Issues a Recall of M-DROL
by Anthony Roberts
Competitive Edge Labs is another company making a futile attempt to hold on to the prohormone era, instead of joining the rest of the industry, who have moved on. At the moment they’ve only got 2 products on their website, one is called “Cycle Assist” and is another tragic formulation that purports to help with a cycle, but includes Milk Thistle, which will actually make cycles less effective. The second product, PCT Assist, is nothing special, and frankly I’ve seen better formulas written on cocktail napkins.
Looking at their current formulas, it’s no surprise that they’re trying to hang on to the prohormone/DS age, which allowed even sub-standard formulators to create effective products by simply putting 10mgs (of whatever steroid) in a pill for $3/bottle, and sell it for $50.
Now, well after a personal injury lawsuit was filed against them on November-17-2009, it appears that they’re finally issuing a recall on the product (which they had stopped selling already). However, in my estimation they’re going about the recall in a very irresponsible way, as their forum reps have continued to answer questions about M-DROL on various forums, without ever mentioning that the product in question has been recalled:
