My 14 year old son is on the football team going into high school but he is smaller than many of the players. His coach recommended going to a health food store for natural steroids. Do you carry such products? ~ Dean/IA

Just because something is "natural" does not necessarily mean it is good for people to use and particularly not for your son, who has not finished growing, not only externally but also internally. Using steroids of any kind, natural or otherwise (often called "stackers"), causes the testicles to shrink and may render your son sterile. Presumably, you would like to see him marry and become a father one day.

We have much too much experience hearing from twenty or thirty-something year old males who are unable to impregnate their wives because they took andro-stackers and other testosterone stimulants when they were younger, just because they wanted to be bigger than the other guys. Lifetime sterility is a horrifying realization for these young men and VitaGanza is proud to have steered many a young male away from a decision they would regret for the rest of their lives.

This same principle applies to females, as well, by the way. At age 14, in our opinion, your son needs to be permitted to grow naturally and without stimulants or growth enhancers. Lifting weights and working with a personal trainer who understands the limitations of a young teen male would be a smart consideration. The following athletic supplements are considered safe for anyone.

VITAL PROTEOZYMES OR WOBENZYM: Athletes of all ages benefit from using PSOE (proteolytic systemic oral enzyme) formulations, such as Wobenzym or Vital Proteozymes. In fact, PSOE's have been used widely for athletes since the early 1980's, initially by the German olympic team in the mid-1970's, and now by athletes throughout the world for every sport, to perform and work-out longer and harder. They are also used by those with injuries to heal faster and for faster muscle recovery.

MRM L-CARNITINE LIQUID is important for athletes because it transports fatty acids to the innermost section of the mitochondria for cellular energy, helping to prevent fatigue and promoting endurance and rapid recovery following strenuous physical activity.

FORMULA 50 or MAXAMINO 1200: Amino Acids promotes lean muscle and muscle strength as well as fat burning.

VITAGANZA COMPLETE EFA'S: Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6 and 9) from flax, borage, black currant and fish oils promote healthy weight, muscle mass, fat burning and neurological health, providing protection from damage through rigorous workouts.
