Look, I am not going to get in a big discussion/debate with you on this, but trust me, you don't know what you are talking about. Just because a product is "natural", or a an "herb" or "plant" doesn't in any way shape or form mean it is safe. There are tons of poisonous plants that will kill you. What do you think Ephedra is (which is now banned)? A natural chinese herb used for centuries (Ma Huang). Take enough of it and exercise, and you could very well die. But no, according to you, the body will handle it fine because it is a natural herb and the body, with its "checks and balances" will make sure every thing is kosher, right? Wrong. (and Ma Huang is a very mild example). An opium poppy is a completely natural plant. Go eat a whole bunch of its "fruit" and tell me how your body handles it with its checks and balances.
I never said anything about megadosing. Also, you are talking about unwanted side effects from the supplement itself. The "checks and balances" I was speaking of in regard to the indirect effects of the supplement.
You are right Ma Huang can be dangerous just like anything when taken incorrectly. I hope you are not one of those people that hear the words "Vitamins" or "Supplement" and immediately think “Megadose… oh no those things are bad never take supplements because you will take too much and they are bad… oh no!!!” Those people are very annoying. I also hope you are someone who can read instructions. They come in handy.

So are you saying that if Alberto or Terrance have any of their women taking this product, they are too stupid to read the directions? Or are you saying that they are using Testo Boost for something other than the intention of the supplement? Afterall, as you say, "those instructions come in handy".
OK
So how many of you guys have bought this stuff since you saw this thread?
Heres the problem I see. It must suck that the Mahone camp needs to depend on taking pills to run there fastest, I don't care if they are legal if you look at dobson's interview on flotrack before the trials (maybe it was after?) he gives credit to terrance for knowing what supplements to take. So my point is, I wouldn't want to take testo boost and the 15 other things because I would have to take them the rest of my career knowing in the back of my mind I need them to run fast. And for the people taking the thyroid medicine, have fun taking them forever!
It's no secret that O-T-C supplements have contained steroids. The FDA has cracked down on a number of manufacturers. Anabolic Xtreme Superdrol and Methyl 1-P come to mind. Basically, you might not know what you're getting even if you carefully examine the label.
Triiodothyronine (T3), which can nearly double the rate of lactate transport and which is extremely effective for fat loss, can easily be added to drinking water. Prescription thyroid medications are also frequently popped by bodybuilders, etc. Team Thyroid is probably technically doing things legally with prescriptions for "pre-exisiting conditions," but this constitutes a slippery slope toward the abyss of drug abuse. In my experience, there are athletes with medical conditions which legitimately warrant these prescriptions, but the practice as a whole is as dark a shade of grey as you can find.
There are also probably a huge number of athletes being doped without their knowing about it. Many of them get a massage every day (who knows what's in the massage oils?) and endurance athletes (like professional cyclists riding a Grand Tour) are rumored to receive daily IVs to "rehydrate." How widespread the latter practice is (or if it's used at all some sports) isn't known, but at least one governing body has issued a ban on post-race IV infusions. The athletes could very well be telling a truth of sorts when they say, "I have never taken a performance-enhancing drug." By "taken," of course, they mean they have never administered drugs to themselves.
