Alleged to occur in nature,DMAA has become a widely used ingredient in sports food supplements, despite its status as a doping agent and concerns over its safety. The most popular brands containing DMAA include Jack3d and OxyElite Pro, both marketed by USP Labs and both detained by the FDA in July 2013 (however, some can still be found on Amazon and other online retail stores).
UsesDMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine) is an amphetamine derivative that has been widely used in sports supplements sold in the United States. Also known as methylhexanamine or geranium extract, DMAA is often touted as a "natural" stimulant, with many claimed functional uses including a body-building aid, an athletic performance enhancer, and a weight-loss aid. Although DMAA at one time was approved as a drug for nasal decongestion, no medical use of DMAA is recognized today. FDA is not aware of any reliable science indicating that DMAA exists naturally in plants.
