Sorry if this has already been posted but

Dangerous stimulant found in 14 supplement products in U.S. | Food Safety News

 

[Rushie]

Shocked to see Hi-tech and some of its daughter companies on the list.

 

[VaughnTrue]

This is Methylsynephrine which has been on the market for years and years, and is clearly listed on each of our labels that contain it.

 

[VaughnTrue]

Here is Lipodrene for example:

Amount Per Serving:
Proprietary blend with Thermo-Rx and Extend-Rx Technologies: 560mg
Ephedra Extract 25mg (leaves), Senegalia Berlandieri Extract (leaves) [Yielding 200mg Phenylethylamine Alkaloids Including: Methylsynephrine, N-Methyl-B-Phenylethlamine, N,N-Dimethylphenylethylamine, Phenylethylamine], Phenylethylamine HCl, 25mg Synephrine HCl, Theobromine, Green Tea Extract (45mg EGCG), Methylhexamine HCl, Hoodia Extract (cactus), Cassia Nomame Extract (plant), Naringen (fruit), 6,7 Dihydroxybergamotin (fruit), 5-Methoxytryptamine HCl, L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, Yohimbine HCl

Caffeine (Anhydrous) 100mg

And a quote from PricePlow about Hi-Techs opinions on the matter

On the other hand, Jared Wheat of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals stated that the Hi-Tech Family is not reformulating away from methylsynephrine. They claim that they have already received the FDA’s blessing on one of their methylsynephrine-containing products (likely Fastin) after ephedrine was banned and they were looking for approval on a legal replacement. Per Wheat, they’ve been legally selling it for 13 years and aren’t stopping now.

 

[Chefdeez]

I mean, just because they've been selling it for 13 years doesn't mean it's safe.

 

[VaughnTrue]

I mean, just because they've been selling it for 13 years doesn't mean it's safe.

And the same can be said for any ingredient, take too much of it, and you're gonna have a bad time.

Think of how many doses we have sold in 13 years since being approved by the FDA to use it. How many adverse side effects as a result?

This "study" is done by the same guy who has claimed every single dietary supplement is dangerous and should be removed from the market.

If the FDA truly found it to be dangerous, why would they approve our use of it 13 years ago?

 

[Rodja]

Isn't it non-DSHEA compliant?

 

[VaughnTrue]

Isn't it non-DSHEA compliant?

That's a current argument, however it is found in nature and in the food supply in the herb listed above in the Lipodrene formula I quoted.

It is not found in citrus aurantium however like many believe.


Again, 13 years ago we were approved for sale of the compound via the FDA. This = DSHEA.

Should they choose to change their minds now, we will fight that decision in court just like we are on DMAA.

I thought this was going to be about caffeine.

[Ape McGrapes]

Caffeine can be lethal.

 

[Smont]

Take 2 asprin and your headache goes away, eat the whole bottle and youl die. Even water can kill uou if you drink too much.

 

[PJLFit]

Pretty sure Dexaprine XR has a few of those. I love it.

 

[john.patterson]

Ridiculous IMO. Another great stimulant being banned, and making companies look bad because of it. I've never had any issues using products containing Methylsynephrine

 

[Geoforce]

Caffeine can be lethal.

I'm lethal if I don't take it!

 

[Woody]

Even masturbating too much can kill you.

[BigGame84]

I remember when Analyzed Supplements sold this as a standalone. I actually think I still have a bottle someplace.

 

[BRUstrong]

Caffeine can be lethal.

Yup, some high school kid here in Ohio died a year or two ago because he bought powdered caffeine and downed something like a tablespoon in one sitting.

Me either. Its dumb in my opinion.

There was a reason it was a one shot deal. Same reason AT2 was reformulated soon after its initial release.

I'd have to look but isn't it still in Shift?

 

[YoungBodyBuil]

Yeah Shift has synephrine that's why it works

 

[Chefdeez]

Synephrine and methylsynethrine are not the same.

 

[Chefdeez]

And for the record, I'm fine with it I was just sharing an article.

 

[YoungBodyBuil]

Synephrine and methylsynethrine are not the same.

I love synephrine in moderate dosage, too high and you get stim dicked like DMAA

 

[cubsfan815]

Synephrine and methylsynethrine are not the same.

I saw that they were using synephrine after I looked up label.

I do have some SS Methylsynephrine at home, time to sell it online to the people who will buy it just because of this article lmao.
