The FDA cracks down on "jack3d"...a pre workout stimulant. Why?

It's on the banned list for athletes.

In the UK, just last week, two soldiers died while training on a fiercely hot day, possibly/probably from heart failure.
No drugs involved, just a will to carry on beyond normal endurance levels.
Unless people are monitored, they will sometimes kill themselves in pursuit of some goal.

You can be sure that if there was a trace of any stimulant in their blood, it would be blamed on the stimulant.

No doubt about it. Never mind the conditions surrounding the death.
Thing is...it's a strong supplement so if u take too much (three scoops or more in 24 hours) you're entering a danger zone.

So here's something. I get this email from a friend who works in the health/supplement world and he tells me jack3d is going to be pulled yet again. Just ban it for good already. I find it odd these "recalls" and then it's back on the shelf.

hmmm...there's a story there. lol

 

Complete waste of time banning it.
They'll just tweak the molecule, and put it back on the shelf.
The replacement may be worse than the original.

 

the thing is...these are not bans. bans mean...done...finished.
this is like a recall. lol
*shrug*

 

Maybe they are getting ready to release Jack4d
a stronger and more addictive version.

 

Lol can u imagine?
You sir should be part of the supplement "think tank."
That's a smashing idea...!

Maybe it is a sales trick. If you hear that your favorite product is going to be banned, what do you do? You stock up like crazy....

thanks for helping me sort through it all.
i think it's a GREAT product for improving performance at the gym, with your sport, etc.
BUT, the key is moderation. when you start taking it every few days, it isn't a good thing.

here's to health!

Testosterone injections?
Please!
You should be ashamed of bringing that up here.

No talk about such minor drugs.
This is a thread for Jack addicts, their heartbroken families,
their dealers, and concerned bystanders.

 

Yeah, we're in mourning here. :/

 

From what I have read and herd from others, people were using it incorrectly and not following the recommended dosing. I used jack3d and a lot of other people did too. I think its only harmful to those that don't know how to read or choose ignore dosing instructions. Same with any other type of drug. Anything done in large amounts isn't "good or healthy", and that can go for just about anything.
