Question Do protein shakes contain dmaa (1,3-dimethylamylamine)
Answer The short answer to this question is read the label. However, we have never seen a protein powder from a reputable company that contains dmaa. Dmaa (1,3-dimethylamylamine) is now an illegal stimulant that was previously found in several very popular dietary supplements, pre workout powders and fat burners. According to FDA.gov:
In 2012, FDA issued warning letters to companies notifying them products with DMAA need to be taken off the market or reformulated to remove this substance. Most companies warned are no longer distributing products with DMAA. While FDA is working to get these products off the market, consumers should not buy or use any dietary supplement product containing DMAA.- read full post
If you are purchasing a whey protein powder or any sort of protein powder from a reputable brick and mortar store or online supplement shop, you should be pretty confident that it does not contain DMAA. If you are not sure, simply read the labels before you purchase the product. All of the protein powders we have reviewed on sixpacksmackdown.com are DMAA free, so you can safely purchase any of those and be sure you will not be ingesting DMAA.
DMAA could also be listed on your supplement label as one of the following ingredients:
The most common ones are 1,3-dimethylamylamine; methylhexaneamine or MHA; dimethylpentylamine or DMP; 4-methylhexan-2-amine; Geranamine; and geranium oil, extract, or stems and leaves.
However, other names are also used, so we have compiled a list of various terms that could appear on an ingredient label:
