Army Bans DMAA Supplement
Read the recent memo:
The Department of Defense has put a ban on all products containing DMAA. These products, formerly sold on-base at GNC stores, were pulled off shelves at the beginning of this year. Service members are prohibited from using the supplements pending further testing on their health effects. DMAA is found in many of the popular energy and weight loss supplements such as Jack3d or OxyElite Pro. These pre-workout and thermogenic supplements increase metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure and the body's heat production. Sudden death cases have been reported involving DMAA users.
Recall we experienced a recent Cadet fatality in the Apache Brigade due to organ failure complicated by OTC supplement use and over exertion. Deep down Cadets desire is to impress and improve their performance. Unfortunately not all Cadets are in shape after a long summer; some will turn to a store bought product for a boost rather than sweat & hard work.
