Following a toxicological study on 17 dietary supplements marketed for sports nutrition or weight loss, which listed the illegal stimulant deterenol as an active ingredient, researchers from NSF, Harvard University, the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), and Belgium’s Sciensano are urging consumers to avoid using weight loss products that list deterenol as an ingredient.
These products, currently available in the U.S., also contained the prohibited stimulants Vonedrine (last marketed as a WWII-era nasal inhaler designed to compete with amphetamines), oxilofrine, octodrine, BMPEA, 1,3-DMAA, 1,4-DMAA, 1,3-DMBA, and higenamine in various combinations. None of these stimulants have been tested, let alone clinically substantiated, for safety in the U.S. Each of these products are prohibited under section S6 of the WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) prohibited list, noted John Travis, senior researcher at NSF International.
