Metague v. Woodbolt Distribution, Case No. 6:20-cv-6374 (W.D.N.Y.). Filed a class action lawsuit against Nutrabolt for selling defective dietary supplement products, Xtend BCAA, which was advertised to “support muscle recovery and growth.” The complaint alleges that, based on independent, peer-reviewed research, BCAA supplements in actuality decrease muscle protein synthesis and are wholly incapable of building muscle on their own.
