Initially in america
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued warning letters to ten manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements containing dimethylamylamine, more popularly known as DMAA, for marketing products for which evidence of the safety of the product had not been submitted to FDA.
Also referred to as 1,3-dimethylamylamine, methylhexanamine, or geranium extract, the ingredient is in dietary supplements and is often touted as a "natural" stimulant.


The FDA letters noted that DMAA is known to narrow the blood vessels and arteries, which can elevate blood pressure and may lead to cardiovascular events ranging from shortness of breath and tightening in the chest to heart attack. The agency has received 42 adverse event reports on products containing DMAA. While the complaints do not establish that DMAA was the cause of the incidents, some of the reports have included cardiac disorders, nervous system disorders, psychiatric disorders, and death.

Now:

    I've started using Mesomorph and that'll be on the out too..

    People say these pre-workout supplements are nothing but caffeine/taurine + amino acids (beta alaline ftw) and in some cases a bit of protein which does little to nothing for you. For me personally, I can get off work and feel like sitting on the couch. Have some Mesomorph and before the tingles hit I'm counting down the clock to when I can start working out.

    Definitely considered the placebo effect, but as you said chrisdavey, if it works, I don't care xD

    I've got enough to last me an 8 week run and possibly will stock up to do a second 8 week run after a break period. We shall see!

    My friend gave me hemo rage today, I think it's similar. The guy in the supplements shop said that they're having to take it off the shelf. We stocked up. Great stuff, I had so much energy at today's workout.

    It's being banned because one of its components is basically speed.
    Make up your own mind as to whether that makes it good or not.

    I really like ASN's extreme energy and extreme cuts. I hope they don't ban those too its hard to find things that actually help with energy and hunger. Most don't work.
