Drugs watchdog bans sports supplement
The UK drugs watchdog has banned a popular sports supplement and all other products containing DMAA amid concerns that it is linked with adverse reactions ranging from shortness of breath to heart attacks and at least one fatality.
Federal watchdogs say many dietary supplements marketed to help consumers lose weight or boost their immune systems are illegally labeled and rely on shoddy evidence to support their health claims, according to a new report on government oversight of the $20 billion supplement industry.
