Caution, 1,3-dimethylamylamine!
A popular dietary supplement for sports nutrition is banned in the UKWeekly Pharmacy www.apteka.ua based on MHRA materials
On August 28, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) banned the distribution and use of sports nutrition, as well as dietary supplements containing 1,3-dimethylamylamine (may also be designated as DMAA, Methylhexanamine, Geranamine, Jack3D).
This substance in the 40s of the twentieth century was used as a vasoconstrictor in the composition of medicines.
In recent years, 1,3-dimethylamylamine has become widely used as a pre-workout supplement in the diet of athletes due to its vasoconstrictive properties and the ability to increase heart rate. Also, this substance helps to increase the rate of basal metabolism, because some manufacturers include 1,3-dimethylamylamine in the composition of dietary supplements to reduce body weight. However, with uncontrolled use of 1,3-dimethylamylamine, adverse adverse reactions from the respiratory and cardiovascular systems (from weakening of respiratory and cardiac activity to myocardial infarction) were reported, which in at least 1 case led to death.
On August 3, 2012, according to the decision of the Association of Therapeutic Agents of Australia (Australia's Therapeutic Goods Association), the distribution and use of 1,3-dimethylamylamine in this country is prohibited. The reason for this was the death of the patient, following the use of a sports nutrition supplement purchased via the Internet containing this substance.
Now 1,3-dimethylamylamine is included in the list of banned substances of the World Anti-Doping Agency (World Anti-Doping Agency) and has caused 137 doping violations.
The MHRA also expressed concern about sports nutrition supplements presented on the UK market containing active substances of plant origin, which should be classified as medical products due to the high exposure potential. According to Arthur Graham, legal director of the Anti-Doping Center of Great Britain (Legal at UK Anti-Doping), the ban on the distribution and use of 1,3-dimethylamylamine is an important step in the fight against unexplored, potentially dangerous dietary supplements that are sold uncontrollably over the Internet. In his opinion, athletes should choose products of well-known companies with a good reputation that can confirm the quality and safety of their products with the results of scientific research and do not include substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency in its composition.
