Rare, never-before-seen sighting!
“DMAA-containing dietary supplements are illegal and their marketing violates the law.”
“When FDA sent out its 12 warning letters on DMAA we continued to sell it and still do. We have a number of products containing DMAA on the market.” —Jared Wheat, CEO, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

# Synthetic Botanicals According to FDA's 2016 draft New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) guidance, synthetic botanicals (synbots) cannot be dietary ingredients because they do not come from a botanical. In fact, on Tuesday, the agency formalized its intention to withdraw “dietary ingredient" status for synthetically produced vinpocetine. Vinpocetine is from the periwinkle plant. Other substances that could be pulled from the marketplace: • Resveratrol • 5-HTP • L-theanine • Astaxanthin
“We believe it [DMAA] is a constituent of geranium, and we don’t believe it makes a difference if we chemically synthesize that constituent.” —Jared Wheat, CEO, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals
“… if you hired a financial advisor to help with your retirement planning and assets, the financial advisor acted in your best interest, avoided conflicts of interest when possible, and was transparent with you about his or her compensation and fees.” —Jamie Hopkins, forbes.com
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
RIP, dietary supplement industry. “We hardly knew thee.”
