FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Northborough, MA – January 15, 2010 – MuscleMaster.com, Inc. ("MuscleMaster.com") announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of all lots and expiration dates of the seventeen below listed dietary supplements sold between June 1, 2009 and November 17, 2009 (hereinafter "Recalled Products").

FDA informed MuscleMaster.com that it believes that the Recalled Products contain ingredients that are steroids. Specifically, FDA advised MuscleMaster.com of its concern that the Recalled Products may contain the following ingredients that are currently classified, or the FDA believes should be classified, as steroids: "Superdrol," "Madol," "Tren," "Androstenedione," and/or "Turinabol." While MuscleMaster.com cannot independently confirm the FDA's concerns, that any one or more of the Recalled Products in fact contain these ingredients, MuscleMaster.com is undertaking this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution and in deference to FDA’s stated concerns.

Acute liver injury is known to be a possible harmful effect of using steroid-containing products. In addition, steroids may cause other serious long-term adverse health consequences in men, women, and children. These include shrinkage of the testes and male infertility, masculinization of women, breast enlargement in males, short stature in children, a higher predilection to misuse other drugs and alcohol, adverse effects on blood lipid levels, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.

Shorter workouts for better results

Doing intervals of intense training for as little as six minutes can do more for your fitness levels than cardio workouts that last as long as 45-60 minutes, according to research from McMaster University in Canada. Those who did four to seven 30 second bursts of "all-out" exercise, followed by four minutes of recovery time, three times a week for two weeks, significantly increased their endurace capacity over those who did traditional cardio training.

"Overall, 1.5 hours a week (including rest periods) of intense interval bursts equaled the results of 4.5 hours of regular training."

Nuts for weight loss

Nuts are one of the best snacks for people trying to lose weight and to keep the blood sugar levels under check. Nuts are loaded with heart healthy fats and rich in several nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, fiber and protein. Many clinical studies proved that adding nuts to a person's diet did not increase his weight to the extent expected. The clinical trials concluded that nuts might suppress the appetite so that people eat less food later in the day, or that people offset the calories from nuts through increasing energy expenditure. So give a break to the zero calorie sweeteners that you are consuming with your snacks and add a serving of nuts or nutrition bars loaded with nuts to your diet.
