I agree high-tech needs to win this case. there's plenty of evidence that dmaa is a naturally occurring compound. The FDA even approved it about five years ago so high-tech has a strong argument
As far as its safety, as long as it's used in Blends were people can't abused it otherwise they would get sick from all the other ingredients it's very safe. Problems arise when supplement companies or research chemical companies sell DMAA on its own so somebody could abuse the hell out of it
Don't quote me on this but I think about a year-and-a-half ago somebody did in fact die or go to the ER from doing just that. I know a few of the cases involving dmaa related ER visits showed co-administration of other stimululants- not sure if that meant caffeine, Rx stims, or street drugs.
I'm sure a few of you remember about 10 years ago a supplement company estrified fish oil which sold incredibly for about six months before the FDA sent them a cease-and-desist letter. Two years later a pharmaceutical company came out with Lovaza, which was the exact same estrefied fish oil, and prescribed to lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. Then a few years after that the FDA either pulled it from the market or put a black box warning on it I'm not sure if it's even prescribed anymore
Of all the supplements the FDA banned over the last 17 years I'd say maybe 30% of them were truly dangerous, and few of those were actually dietary supplements but synthetic compounds that happened to occur in trace amounts in extremely obscure plants or animals. The original 1997 version of Lipokinetix, Phera Plex, & GBL/GHB come to mind. GBL & GHB are perfectly safe if used correctly but it was better to ban it then risk even one person being date raped. 3 years after GHB was made a schedule 1 drug, it was marketed to treat cataplexy under the trade name Xyrem and downgraded to CII.
Let's all hope that high tech disproves the old adage that you can't fight City Hall. This industry is long overdue for a win
