No. But you just tested positive for taking a shite pre-workout.

For a job, you will be fine taking that

Some supplements now have labels that say if you are an athlete please consult your testing agency prior to taking since it may cause you to test positive.

This is what you have to realize about pre workouts fat burners etc, they want that shite to work to sell more product. Many times, and I've seen it first hand, they will put "questionable" ingredients that work but may or may not be legal or healthy, and may or may not be on the label, because those ingredients do what the label says. Many times the product will get independently tested and at that point the company will clean it up only after they have a good following and buying base. You see it ALL THE TIME. That's why athletes should only take NSF certified products.

It's possible. There are generally warnings that say they do. Many products from vitamin stores will. If you're curious Google banned supplements for military. I'm sure you'll get a few hits.

This stuff says "banned substance tested" on the label.

Yeah it's tested prior to being shipped.

I see nothing in the ingredients to warrant a positive.

Thanks. If i do test positive for something that's the only possible culprit.

I was using c4 and some kind of post workout protein and tested positive for painkillers that I had taken the day before. So yeah, be careful.

Percocet.

Don't remember what the post workout was called though.

But why is that a red flag? Is percocet illegal?

Not sure, I'm no lawyer, just telling you what happened. Are you taking c4?

They said I failed... I asked what for, they said Oxy.... I said impossible.... they asked if I drank a lot of wntergy drinks or took work out supplements.... I said daily.... they said that was the problem....Lab cleared me.... That's all I got! I'm not a doctor, I just fill up the cup!

I think that means a product with the "Pharm" in the name likely uses either Percocet or Vicodin as a filler and pain reliever to reduce recovery time. You'll likely pop positive as Lucas has already explained.

I'm not an idiot, but it's a solid effort.
