Wow. Not everyday you hear of bodybuilding supplements on the mainstream news! Our loved 1.3D is being scrutinized. Why is it when something WORKS, the govt wants to outlaw it? I love my n2tks!!!
How many deaths has alcohol caused? Why doesn't govt ban that instead?
Deadly workout supplement? Jack3d outside FDA's reach - Rock Center with Brian Williams
Deadly workout supplement? Jack3d outside FDA's reach
Over the past few years, a popular dietary supplement has amassed a cult-like following of fitness enthusiasts across the country. From coast to coast, you can find small white canisters filled with a pink powder tucked into gym bags, stashed in lockers and sitting in kitchen cupboards.
Devotees claim it gives them that extra edge they need to run that elusive last mile, or to lift that extra 10 pounds.
But detractors call it potentially dangerous, perhaps even deadly.
The supplement is called Jack3d (pronounced Jacked), but the ingredient that users say sets it apart from other pre-workout supplements is 1,3 dimethylamylamine - or DMAA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says DMAA is illegal.
The FDA has received 86 adverse event reports believed to be linked to DMAA. Serious side effects reported to the FDA include depression, anxiety, vomiting, loss of consciousness, chest pain, and even death.
NBC News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman sat down with Dr. Daniel Fabricant, director of the division of dietary supplements programs at the FDA.
