Can You Trust Greg Doucette? The Turkesterone Scandal Just Got Deeper.
At Nootropics Depot, we're committed to raising the standards of the supplement industry through rigorous lab testing and transparency. This month, we spoke with Greg Doucette, IFBB Pro bodybuilder and founder of HTLT supplements, about the Turkesterone controversy that raised significant concerns within the bodybuilding community in 2022.
Greg is known for his impressive YouTube following and bold personality - not to mention his physique. When Nootropics Depot tested Greg’s product, Turk Builder, and found it didn’t meet its claimed Turkesterone content, Greg chose to address the issue and take corrective action.
In this podcast, we share lab results from Turkesterone products across the market, including those from HTLT's Turk Builder Max. Join us as we discuss the importance of integrity and quality in the supplement industry and explore the science behind these findings.
This is an important step towards greater transparency—tune in to learn more!
