I have been interested in trying some SD, PP etc. and have been reading (and educating my self) a lot of excellent information. I work in the pharmaceutical industry as a chemist, and I can tell you, there is nothing better then the data generated by human use. I have gotten quite an education reading this forum the last 3 months and I am planning on a cycle late spring. (Knee surgery in a month). I am curious about the supplement industry - do they perform safety and/or toxicological studies (on animals) or do the perform small human trials and put product on the market? Anyone care to respond?
Anyway, I have read some other forums but I have found this one to be the best and very comprehensive.
Thanks to Admins for this site for opportunity to join.

Welcome to the forum...

As to your question, testing protocol depends on the company in question.

I believe the larger companies do small human trials... whereas the smaller companies glean info from humal/animal studies when pushing their products.

As noted, the ultimate source of info is the info generated by human use... anecdotal info.

Thanks for your input Narkissos. I know that supplement companies are not regulated by the FDA as pharma and not held to the same stringent standards. I guess it does not matter the FDA has no oversight, because congress bans ph's anyway.
