Supplements May Contain Dangerous Amounts Of Banned Stimulant Higenamine.

reports a new study in the journal Clinical Toxicology found weight-loss and energy supplements sold in the US “may contain potentially harmful and inaccurately labeled levels of the banned stimulant higenamine.” The stimulant is “on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of substances prohibited in sports, though it is legal for use in supplements in the United States, Canada and Europe.” In the study, researchers analyzed 24 products labeled as containing a version of the stimulant and “found unpredictable and potentially harmful amounts...that varied from trace levels to 62 milligrams a serving.” https://mail.google.com/_/scs/mail-static/_/js/k=gmail.main.en.CjTH3K6uFRk.O/am=FngdMA4Qrw8gfAGMzQhgOCCANANh838EWRTgbQDCGP___wMYDgB6AADfgP8f0OMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADgQgFf/rt=h/d=1/im=1/rs=AHGWq9ASiatPDyE4Oba93jC_usWVVCWdiQ/m=pds,pdl,pdit,m_i,pdt,t,it
