Federal agents for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confiscated in excess of $1.3 million in illegal dietary supplements from a Brighton, Michigan business that markets products to bodybuilders, authorities announced Friday. US Marshals seized the supplements Wednesday at an LG Sciences, LLC warehouse on Whitmore Lake Road; the products contain unapproved food additives or dietary ingredients that violate the law, according to a statement from the FDA. Although the products are labeled as dietary supplements, they are marketed to bodybuilders. The supplements were marketed and distributed online and in retail stores under the names Methyl 1-D, Methyl 1-D XL, and Formadrol Extreme XL.

Methyl 1-D XL is pictured on the LG Sciences Website as a bottle of capsules that increases strength and muscle mass with related comments praising LG Sciences. The FDA said the seized supplements were previously tested and found to contain one or more unapproved food additives and/or dietary ingredients that had not been studied to ensure they wouldn’t cause illness or injury. According to the FDA, anyone who has used the supplements should consult their doctor, the FDA said.
