At least that's what the manufacturers of these dietary supplements would like you to believe. Just look at Mark McGwire, who took both substances last year and cranked out a record 70 home runs.

And just last month the biggest of them all, Mass MoCA, opened in North Adams, Mass. Its name is doubly apt: housed in an abandoned factory that covers 13 acres (or about a third...
