TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senate President Richard J. Codey and Senator John A. Girgenti banning the sale or distribution of creatine and other similar performance enhancing substances to minors was unanimously approved today by the full Senate.
“Right now, a teenager can buy these supplements at a store, believing they are safe,” said Sen. Codey (D-Essex). “In reality they could actually be using a de facto steroid substance, which could lead to a number of irrevocable side effects. At the very least, their misuse of these products could lead to permanent organ damage.”
