Jack3d contains DMAA. According to Dr. Pieter Cohen, Harvard Medical School Assistant Professor of Medicine and expert on dietary supplements, DMAA is an amphetamine-like stimulant. It can increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks by increasing the heart rate, raising blood pressure, and narrowing blood vessels. Dr. Cohen stated the product is pharmaceutical grade and is being marketed with no oversight. Marketing of the substance began in 2005 when manufacturers often combined it with caffeine to enhance its effects. The products were proclaimed to cause weight loss and enhance the effectiveness of workouts.
After two soldiers died, the U.S. military removed all products containing DMAA from more than 100 GNC stores on military bases. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent warning letters to ten companies who market the product. Seven countries have already banned products containing DMAA.
