Reports are that DMBA, also known as Amp citrate to DMBA hcl, has been given a manufacturing ban.
This is only a manufacturing ban and not a retail ban.
This means the remaining stock can be legally sold and it doesn't need to be pulled from the shelves. Products can just no longer be made containing the product, as the suggestion is it's performance enhancing.
As I detail in this article, first it was DMAA, an ingredient found in pre-workout that was banned.
Now, this is the latest ingredient to get the chop.
IS THIS INGREDIENT IN MY SUPPLEMENTS?
If you're taking a fat burner or a pre-workout supplement, chances are that it may be within it.
It is extremely unlikely to be in any protein powders or BCAA products.
Recently researchers found the unapproved synthetic stimulant in 12 over-the-counter dietary supplements. Their research has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Drug Testing and Analysis.
The stimulant is also known as 1,3-Dimethylbutylamine.
It's chemically similiar to DMAA, the stimulant banned from pre-workouts recently as I detailed in the article linked above.
After current stock containing DMBA is sold, supplement companies will be forbidden to use it in any of their products from here on in.
