USAF approved suppliments?

[jstock]

Does anyone know of a list of USAF approved or unapproved suppliments?
I have been looking for some time now and can't find any info.

Thanks

You have to disclose all suppliments you use to the flight surgeon and he makes the call.

No Andro

The only one I have heard mentioned is Andro. It's now in the same piss-test category of illegal narcotics (heroin and/or coke). It's even posted in signs in the Luke gym. Like mentioned above, I've told various flight docs, Guard and active duty, about every store-bought supplement I've ever taken (protein powders, EFA's, multi-vitamins, ginko biloba, creatine, glutamine, chondritin/glucosamine), and none of them really cared. Hope it helps.

Peace,
DP

I am aware of the "Andro-Ban" recently signed into law. My issue is that I am still a cadet for another year and everything that we do seems to be amplified. Therefore IF I take anything I need to be extreemly carefull. Also, many of the cadets in my det are asking me the same question that I have posted here so I am not the only one wondering. I brought this to my cadre and they were able to get the info on the Andro-Ban but nothing else. There must be some do not use list out there.

Mainly I am specifically researching Nitric Oxide along with creatine. I figure most meal replacements (bars, shakes, etc.) should be fair game.

Thanks for the previous replies,

Call your UPT base and get in touch with a flight surgeon. He'll help you out. They have easy access to a list, and it seems like some bases have slightly different policies than others....so it'll help to talk to YOUR future flight surgeon.
