Vitamin Shoppe Removes Dietary Supplements Found To Contain BMPEA.

some leading vitamin stores,” including Vitamin Shoppe, “have announced that they were pulling from their shelves a group of supplements that may contain” an amphetamine-like stimulant called BMPEA. The announcement follows a study published Tuesday in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis that reported that BMPEA “has never been fully studied in humans and that under federal law is not an authorized dietary supplement ingredient.” The study also said that the FDA has been aware of BMPEA mislabeling since 2012. On Tuesday the FDA “said... that its review of the available” data on BMPEA “does not identify a specific safety concern at this time,” and an agency spokeswoman “reiterated that statement on Thursday.” http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/09/retailers-to-stop-sales-of-controversial-supplements/?ref=health&_r=0
