Hello friends,
As you may already know, the supplement market is flooded with products contaminated with prohibited substances (see references below). This is no different when it comes to gray market products such as synthol. Often sold under the guise of tanning oil, synthol completely flies under the radar of the already ineffective regulators. This injectable oil-based product is often manufactured on the same equipment as PEDs, resulting in heavy contamination. Manufacturers may also intentionally spike their synthol to give them a market edge. To the natural bodybuilder this can be both career destroying and health damaging.
Allow me to present two case studies.
Fear not, friends, for I am pleased to announce the launch of my analytical lab and related services, based right here in the USA. I will start small, offering only the WADA Prohibited Assay for synthol, but I intend to expand into oral health supplements, peptides, etc.
For now, my lab is equipped only with an HPLC. This presents some limitations. For example, from my understanding, the compound drostanolone (and all its esters) requires mass spectrometry for detection. Additionally, there are some more exotic contaminants, such as testosterone acetate, which are poorly described in the literature, ergo I have not yet been able to incorporate them into my methods. I hope to overcome these limitations in due time.
There is no better time than now to have your synthol tested! I will offer an introductory price of $100 for the first month, followed by $140 thereafter.
Please visit my website at chromate.org for more info.

Note: owing to the sensitive nature of synthol use, I have configured my email address with ProtonMail. All emails between Proton accounts will be E2E encrypted.
