Is DMAA pre workout legal?

The ingredient 1,3 Dimethylamylamine was found in many supplements and was marketed as an energy booster and performance enhancer. It can also be very dangerous and cause severe side effects. In 2013, the FDA banned all DMAA pre-workouts and other supplements containing them, making them illegal.

What happens when you take DMAA?

The concern is that DMAA may narrow blood vessels, which can increase blood pressure and lead to shortness of breath, tightening in the chest, or even heart attack. So far, the FDA has received 42 adverse event reports about products containing DMAA. Canada has already banned DMAA from all supplements.

Are DMAA steroids?

DMAA is banned by the US Military because two soliders died after taking it during basic training. It’s apparently serious stuff. It also has pregnenolone, a steroid hormone banned by the olympics so I figured that would give me some sort of insight into what taking an illegal steroid would be like.

How fast does DMAA work?

Compared to the commonly available stimulant caffeine, DMAA has a longer t1/2, in this case 8.4 h vs. 5.4 hr for caffeine [17], as well as a shorter lag time of 0.14 h vs. 0.37 h for caffeine [17]. Previous reports have indicated that DMAA is absorbed over 4–12 hours [13].

Why is DMAA banned?

The government contends that DMAA is an unapproved food additive, and because the FDA considers it unsafe, the agency acted legally in banning it and confiscating products containing the ingredient, since those products are considered “adulterated.”

How addictive is DMAA?

The addictive potential of DMAA is not known, but is also probably less than that of amphetamine. Well, if we are to consider it to be exactly the same as amphetamine, then the appropriate schedule would be schedule 8, not 9. However, it is extremely unlikely that DMAA is equivalent to amphetamine.

Is it illegal to own DMAA?

DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) is an amphetamine derivative that has been marketed in sports performance and weight loss products, many of which are sold as dietary supplements. DMAA is not a dietary ingredient, and DMAA-containing products marketed as dietary supplements are illegal and their marketing violates the law.
