Recalls and Warnings

This morning again here's proof that you must be very careful from buying products of unknown source. People are buying things that they want to lose weight so badly or get energy at a high level! Instead of looking towards companies like our HERBALIFE and it's a shame, in my recruiting I would have to say that when I mention Herbalife 75% have never heard of us and 10% have heard of it but know nothing about us. Our "Thermojetics" herbal instant tea does marvels!

Herbalife is best kept secret in the world.

Thermo Stimulating" Supplement Recalled -- Contained DMAA (Date Posted: 1/24/2013) On January 23, 2013, Health Canada advised consumers not to use certain batches of Muscletech Hydroxystim capsules which were found to contain DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) and have been recalled by their distributor. DMAA can increase blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular events, and has been linked to at least two deaths. It is not allowed to be sold as a dietary supplement ingredient in Canada or the U.S. (See FDA Says DMAA Can't Be Sold as a Supplement).

The batches of Hydroxystim found to contain DMAA are limited to those recalled by the Australian distribution company Export Corporation Pty Ltd., and can be identified by a registration number of AUST L 187422 and an expiration date of November 9, 2013 on the label.

U.S. and Canadian consumers who purchase Hydroxystim online or through retail sales should check the identifying information on the label to be sure the product does not originate from the affected batches.

Hydroxystim is promoted as a thermo-stimulant for an energy and metabolism boost during exercise. According to the Muscletech website, Hydroxystim has been reformulated, and neither DMAA nor geranium oil (sometimes used as another name for DMAA) is listed on the new label.

2-Recalls and Warnings Performance Enhancing Ingredient, DMAA, Not Really from Geraniums, Putting Its Use in Supplements in Doubt (Date Posted: 8/7/2011) On July 29, 2011, the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) announced a new requirement that products containing the sports performance enhancing compound DMAA (also known as 1,3-dimethlypentlyamine, 1,3 dimethylamylamine, methylhexanamine, or MHA), not be labeled as geranium oil or any part of the geranium plant. AHPA found the evidence of DMAA coming from geranium to be inconclusive.

The AHPA statement is important. It suggests that DMAA in supplements is not derived from geraniums, therefore, puts in doubt whether DMAA should be permissible in dietary supplements. The basis for allowing it was the belief that is naturally found in geranium oil, which is approved for use in foods.

DMAA is a stimulant compound somewhat similar in structure to amphetamines and ephedrine -- and considered a performance enhancing agent. It is prohibited from use by athletes by the World Anti-Doping Agency. It has been used in dietary supplements for weight loss and bodybuilding. Several elite athletes have tested positive for it and received suspensions from competition. In some of these cases, the athletes claimed they had been inadvertently exposed to the compound from products they used. According to an article on Wikipedia, the compound was originally developed as a nasal decongestant. It was introduced as a dietary supplement into the U.S. market in 2006 under the trade name Geranamine. It has been sold combined with caffeine as a thermogenic or general purpose stimulant. It is reported to be used as a party drug in New Zealand. Side-effects including headache, nausea, and stroke have been reported in recreational users of these products.

The Canadian government has classified DMAA as a drug and not acceptable as an ingredient in supplements due to its pharmacological activity.
