...don't know about the states, illegal in Canada, the shakes can be bad as mentioned, personally always worked better for em than anythign else I ever tried...cytomel never really did much for me, even at 50-100mcgs/day, but has done wonders for others I know...never tried DNP and doesn't interest me. Clen tabs I found don't do as well as Venti (liquid for animals), 100mcgs/4ml pump. love it, love it!!!
