And...the snake-oil salesmen who peddle this stuff have nobody but themselve to blame. The LEF folks are reputable, but the rest of 'em advertise for this stuff like it was better than steroids, so its no wonder the control freaks are jumping in with legislation.
I don't think these products should be illegal per se, but as it stands there is next to no burden on the manufacturers to show they are safe, let alone effective as advertised.
Andro is a bad product. From my personal experience you get almost none of the desired effect and most of the side effects of anabolic steroids. I'm 41 years old. I used these products extensively for about 3 years. My blood profile is eerily similar to a hardcore steroid user. My HDL and testosterone production are low, my estradiol levels are high. While on Andro I developed gynocomastia. I was growing TITS! I noticed no appreciabe increase in strength or lean body mass, even though the ads tout HUGE gains in both. I now find myself on testosterone replacement therapy and low doses of Arimidex to block the estrogen.
If manufacturers of these products were held to tighter standards and the sale limited to folks above age 21, you'd probably see them fall out of the market.
They probably would not be on the market at all if we had a sane policy towards steroids. My doctor and I should be able to work together if I want to do a cycle or two a year to build a little muscle. Why is it that my neighbor could get the brains sucked out of her fetus' head right up until birth and have that be considered a constitutionally protected freedom, but I'm a criminal if I want to score some Dianabol to build a little muscle.
