Below we take an in-depth look into Osta Shred, to see why this now-banned product was taken off of store shelves.
Osta Shred is a muscle-building supplement that promised to build muscle faster, shorten recovery times, burn fat, and focus the mind. This relatively straightforward mix of 4 ingredients has currently been banned by the FDA, as it contains an ingredient called Ostarine. In the past, Ostarine has been used as a medical treatment for muscle wastage, and it is now considered to be unsuitable for sale in the unregulated diet supplement industry (although some unscrupulous companies have found ways around this by selling Ostarine anyway and claiming that their product is ‘not intended for consumption by humans’).
Osta Shred is manufactured by a company called Hard Rock Supplements, a US-based producer who once sold their products through specialist outlets like the Strong Supplement Store. Since the banning of Osta Shred, Hard Rock Supplements remain a rather evasive company, with no website or online presence to speak of.
Some of the ingredients contained within the mix could cause some minor side effects. Mucuna Pruriens can cause stomach pains and bloating on occasion, and has sometimes been associated with vomiting and sleeplessness. On rare occasions, users of Mucuna Pruriens have experienced headaches, a pounding heartbeat and even symptoms of psychosis. Grape seed extract can sometimes also cause headaches, nausea, dizziness and an itchy scalp.
Osta Shred is no longer available to buy, and it is actually not legal to sell it. When it was legal, Osta Shred used to retail for around $65-$85 for 120 capsules.
First things first: Osta Shred is actually illegal to sell as of April 2017, so we absolutely do not recommend you buy it on this basis alone! Any retailer willing to sell you Osta Shred or any other Ostarine-based product at this point is either shockingly ignorant or outright unscrupulous in the extreme. Avoid them at all costs!
In any case, this product was not too impressive even when legal; it used to be surprisingly expensive and actually received a rather mixed reception from the bodybuilding community. Despite the fact that ingredients like Ostarine and Arimistane should work in theory, many customers reported disappointment at the effectiveness of this product in particular, with some wondering whether it was an outright scam.
Although Osta Shred does not come with many of the side effects associated with steroids, it is still regarded as a performance-enhancing drug by every amateur and professional sports governing bodies. The list of excellent athletes (from professional boxers to tennis players and more) who have been caught using Ostarine-based products is sobering, resulting in many shattered careers. If you happen to still have Osta Shred in your cupboard, do yourself and your athletic aspirations a favour and throw it in the trash.
We do not recommend Osta Shred to our readers.
Osta Shred is a muscle-building supplement that has been permanently discontinued as of April 2017. This potent mix contains Ostarine, a now-banned substance which is thought to work as a treatment for muscle wastage. It is also regarded as a banned steroid, and has caused serious issues for a number of high-profile athletes that have been caught using it.
Osta Shred was produced and sold by Hard Rock Supplements, a manufacturer of potent bodybuilding supplements. There isn’t too much information available on this relatively new company, although its products appear to be particularly promoted on outlets like the Strong Supplement Shop. The company’s contact details seem to be impossible to find on the Internet.
Take 2 servings daily. Take one capsules in the morning with food, take one capsule 6-8 hours later with food. DO NOT EXCEED 2 capsules in a 24-hour period. For women, take 1 capsule a day for 60 days.
Osta Shred was marketed as a legal steroid, meaning that it helped users to bulk on muscle faster and undergo workouts with reduced recovery times. This product was also said to work without the issues associated with steroid use, meaning that it delivers the same results without impacting penis size, libido, and testosterone levels. This outcome was said to be achieved through its ability to interact with the receptors needed to build muscle and recover faster, without affecting those related to sexual issues. In addition to the muscle benefits, Osta Shred is also said to reduce water weight and body fat. To quote the advertising copy, Osta Shred:
Osta Shred appears to be a surprisingly poor mix and is one that fails at some of the basics. Its absorption complex of grape seeds and celery seed almost certainly won’t do its presumed job of improving bioavailability, and the use of mucuna pruriens will likely not provide the significant dopamine boost it intends to. The two steroid-like components should work in theory to build muscle and improve performance, but the evidence of customer reviews argues against this; a significant number of customer comments claim that this product is weak or ineffective.
The ingredients contained within Osta Shred are listed below. Readers should note that the ingredient quantities listed below are true for one capsule of Osta Shred.
Though potent, Ostarine and Arimistane have not been associated with any specific side effects at the moment (when used properly), though that doesn’t mean that side effects are impossible.
The other two ingredients have been tested more rigorously, and have exhibited side effects in the past. Mucuna Pruriens has been associated with nausea and bloating, and sometimes leads to vomiting and insomnia. Rarer side effects include headaches, pounding heartbeat, and symptoms of psychosis (including confusion, agitation, hallucinations, and delusions). Grape seed extract can sometimes cause headaches, dizziness, itchy scalp and nausea.
Caution:
Do not exceed suggested daily serving. Not for use by individuals under the age of 18 years. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Use only as directed. Keep out of reach of children.
As Osta Shred has been discontinued, there are no customer reviews available to check on sales outlets. However, we were able to find some old chatter about Osta Shred on certain bodybuilding forums, with customers being apparently rather split on whether the product worked at all.
I usually don’t write reviews on products I take unless the product is terrible or amazing. In this case, it was AMAZING! I took a cycle of Osta Shred and after the first week I noticed a gain in energy. I was tired less often. By week 2 I was lifting heavier and my stamina was up as well. By week 3 I started to notice a change in my body. At the end of the cycle I dropped 3% body fat. I love the fact that this product had no side effects. This product puts no stress on your liver as well. Osta Shred honestly helped me get lean and lose body fat quickly. So if anyone out there is looking to get lean while losing body fat and gaining stamina this is your product!
Ran it twice with amazing strength gains and a little fat loss.
The first week was fantastic but since then I feel like I’m just losing some fat and making only mediocre or normal gains.
Personally wasn’t that great for me I still have half the bottle and I don’t know what to do with it.
Osta Shred is no longer available to buy, as Ostarine can no longer be sold as a dietary supplement. Anyone looking to return their product now could be out of luck, as Hard Rock Supplements never indicated that they had a money back guarantee in their advertising copy. The company also does not run an active website, and may not be operating as a manufacturer any longer.
Osta Shred has been discontinued due to the banning of Ostarine as a dietary supplement ingredient. It was once available to buy only from specialist websites dedicated to selling legal steroids, such as the Strong Supplement Shop and Legendary Supplements. When legal, Osta Shred used to retail for around $65-$85 for 120 capsules.
