    Might serve as a good warning I know a lot of people that assume if its sold at places like gnc it can't be too harmful...

    There is no real evidence that DMAA is not safe to use under the supplement labels doses.

    Just because somebody died who used such and such product, it does not prove a causation. MSNBC is ignoring that and is attempting to defame USP Labs. I hope they sue the shit out of MSNBC along with Janet Klein, Lauren Specter and Adrian Taylor. Those three are terrible reporters and should be called out for their BS.

    How many people die from DMAA verses how many people die from obesity eating Taco Bell? No warning labels on their tacos saying "may cause a fatass and heart problems"

    I love Jack3d and I still use it. And it's counterpart OxyElitePro on a daily basis. As with anything, too much is bad. As Lon as you're a level headed person you know what's safe for your own body

    Exactly, TO MUCH is a bad thing. The press likes to run w shit as soon as possible. But they have no idea how much the people were taking. I've heard people taking double-triple the recommended dosage plus drink coffee and other stimulants. What the **** do u think is going to happen when u add a multiple stimulants far exceeding recommended dosages.

    Death Valley is probably the hottest place on earth, probably followed by somewhere in the Mid East. It gets to be over 100F on a daily basis here. It's already reached 93 in mid April. Don't gimme that bs.

    I actually think Mojave heat is pretty bearable. To me 115 degree dry heat in the desert is easier to take than 90 degree heat with humidity in like the deep south. With dry heat, you can just drink lots of water and be okay within reason. With humidity, it reduces your body's ability of being able to cool itself via sweat/evaporation.

    The warning on Jack3d states to be sure to drink plenty of water after taking USP Jack3d because stimulants can dehydrate you. Also, creatine needs water to transport ATP to your muscles. Internet is full of reports of soldiers that have collapsed during training and they blame jack3d. Everyone knows that cardio depletes the body of water. Everyone knows that when taking creatine you have to increase your water intake. Plus as the warning on jack3d states water intake must be increased while taking it. The soldiers that died suffered from symptoms that would be related to severe dehydration. The product could have caused the deaths but it was the soldiers that did not increase their water intake that should be held responsible.

    The whole thing is there are a lot of possible causes for these soldiers deaths. Anecdotal evidence is really a piss-poor way of determining the safety of a specific product. But at the same time, it leaves more of an impression on the readers/viewers when these things are published.

    If the scientific community were to conduct a double blind study on the effects of DMAA and then publish it on the news or print it on some news site, it'd bore the general public so much, they'd either close their browser or they'd change the channel on their TV. However; you come up with a specific person and say they DIED AFTER TAKING THIS DMAA PRODUCT and all of a sudden, they're not just alarmed, they're outraged that such product is available to consumers. Few if any will even wonder if the DMAA caused the death or if it were a coincidence. They'll assume it is.

    That kind of sensationalism is the stuff the media loves and because of that, they'll continue to give products like these bad press.

    no more dmaa in jack over here, nothing to do with gym users etc, its commonly used to cut and even be large part of a rec drug, there was 3-4mg in jack3d, i took doses several times larger then that and noticed no ill effects, as stimulants go its one of the better ones i.m.o
