An Idaho federal court sentenced a Vista, California nutritional supplement maker, Tribravus Enterprises, for the unlawful manufacture and distribution of unapproved synthetic steroids in over-the-counter pills marketed as “dietary supplements.”
Tribravus, dba IForce Nutrition, was sentenced to three years probation, a $125,000 fine, and a $400 special assessment. As condition so probation, the court ordered future financial disclosures and a monitoring and testing protocol including testing all products distributed by Tribravus for banned steroids, announced Pamela Bearg of the Idaho District Attorney’s Office.
Tribravus / IForce distributed the products “17aPheraFLEX,” “Dymethazine” and “Methadrol” as dietary supplements. The FDA found that these products contained synthetic steroids, known as “DMT” or “Madol” and “Superdrol.” These are not dietary supplements but are, in contrast, unapproved drugs under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
