This is the letter I sent to my representatives on congress.org re: a ban on "andro" type supplements...regardless of what your stance about andro is specifically, this sets a bad precedent for supplements in general.
Feel free to use this or your own version of it.


I have been informed that there is a bill currently before Congress in regards to banning the sale of "andro" type performance enhancers. I strongly encourage you to defeat this bill.

Athletes should be allowed to have the same rights with their bodies as women, especially when there is no evidence that a supplement poses any adverse health effects. I believe the authors of this bill are merely trying to win votes by taking advantage of the general public's ignorance regarding these supplements.

Regulating sales of such supplements to those 18 or older such as the limits on alcohol and tobacco purchases makes far more sense than an outright ban.

Please vote against this bill.
