The lawsuit (Case No: ‘15CV2848 W-JMA) was filed on December 17, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California and alleges that these amino nitrates do not confer the purported benefits ov. er the standard forms of amino acids over their standard counterpart aminos. Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges the nitrate variants are nost safe dietary ingredients per 413(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), codified at 21 U.S.C. 350b(d).
MusclePharm could have avoided the lawsuit entirely if it had abided by a warning letter sent to the company on July 27, 2015. However, the supplement manufacturer declined and the lawsuit was filed one week after a new study from the New England Journal of Medicine, issued a study detailing the case of a long term creatine nitrate user who was diagnosed with cancer and internal organ damage.
Supplements distributed by MusclePharm and listed in the lawsuit that contain creatine or other amino acid bonded nitrates include:
MusclePharm Arnold Schwarzenegger Series Iron Pump
MusclePharm Arnold Schwarzenegger Series Iron Cre3
MusclePharm Iron Dream
MusclePharm Creatine
MusclePharm Assault
The takeaway from the lawsuit is that it claims the nitrate-containing products have not been proven safe to the established standard, and that they do not work as effectively as claimed. According to the law, products of this nature entitle consumers to a full refund, which could lead to massive costs incurred by MusclePharm if they are found guilty as they would have to pay full retail costs to the individuals who have purchased the products.
The lawsuit (Case No: 16CV0032 BEN DHB) was filed on January 6, 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California and is nearly identical to the same class action lawsuit that was filed against MusclePharm in December 2015. The lawsuit contests the safety and efficacy of amino nitrates over the non-nitrate amino acid counterparts. The lawsuit further states that Woodbolt (Cellucor) demonstrate these ingredients, "do not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury before these ingredients can be lawfully sold in any dietary supplement" per 413(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), codified at 21 U.S.C. 350b(d).
