You could work out with Centrum Silver.

As I said, it is silly to say McCain wants to ban (or treat as drugs) *all* supplements, or even most. He has never authored a bill with that purpose. McCain has supported banning prohormones, - which as you have said is just a euphemism for steroids - and some stimulants. Banning otc sale of steroids is not such a radical idea, however much some of us do not like it. Okay, I suppose Ron Paul, would support legalizing steroids, but he is otherwise a loon, and unelectable, in my humble opinion.
Yes, if I were selling supplements and one of them were on a list that McCain wants to ban, as a matter of self-interest, I obviously would not be happy with McCain in that respect. But I don't sell supplements. Just my perspective.
