DoD Publishes List Of “High Risk” Supplements.

The inventory, which contains more than 130 bodybuilding supplements, dietary aids and fat-burners, is nearly identical to the U.S. Anti-doping Agency’s high-risk supplement list and actually was developed in conjunction with that organization, said HPRC senior nutrition scientist Andrea Lindsey. “We basically used the World Anti-Doping Agency list as a guide. We also have our own specific inclusion document” for adding supplements of concern to military personnel,” Lindsey said. The list contains several supplements that have made headlines, including: 12 that contain DMBA, or 1,3-dimethylbutylamine, which some researchers say is a synthetic stimulant never tested on humans. Jack3d Micro, a reformulated product introduced after predecessor Jack3d was banned for containing DMAA, or 1,3-dimethylamylamine. Mayhem, a supplement found to contain undeclared drugs such as dexamethasone, a prescription anti-inflammatory, and cyproheptadine, a prescription antihistamine. http://pt365.militarytimes.com/2015/02/10/defense-department-posts-high-risk-supplement-list/
