Novedex Recall


By now folks have read about the Novedex Recall. 

Possible Side Effects
Potential adverse events associated with the use of anti-aromatases could include:

  • Decreased rate of bone maturation and growth
  • Decreased sperm production
  • Infertility
  • Aggressive behavior
  • Adrenal insufficiency
  • Kidney failure
  • Liver dysfunction
  • Consumers with liver, kidney, adrenal, or prostate abnormalities are at higher risk for developing adverse events
From the FDA site:

Gaspari Nutrition Incorproated, 575 Prospect Street - Suite 230, Lakewood, NJ, announced  that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of all Lot Codes of the company's dietary supplement product sold under the name Novedex XT, which was marketed "for increasing natural testosterone production" and contains 3,17-keto-etiocholetriene, also known as ATD, an anti-aromatase. Gaspari Nutrition is conducting this consumer level recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that 3,17-keto-etiocholetriene does not meet the definition of a dietary ingredient and therefore the product is in violation of provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
