Banned substances in training boosters: what you need to know
These training boosters are hugely popular. They're taken to improve the Pump (blood flow to the muscles) as well as alertness during training.
The Jack 3D booster in particular made training boosters well known. Jack 3D used the chemical substance
1,3-dimethylamylamine. This substance is also known by many other names, such as DMAA,
methylhexanamine, geranium, 2-amino-4-methylhexane, 4-methyl-2-hexanamine, etc.
DMAA is an amphetamine-like substance, and it has a stimulant effect similar to ephedrine!
Because there have been deaths after taking methylhexanamine, this substance was
banned on the European market. This also applies to Switzerland, since 2010.
A new substance with a similar effect is now used in boosters, especially in the USA.
1,3-dimethylbutylamine (also known as DMBA or AMP citrate) is a synthetic substance said to have a stimulant
effect, similar to the structurally related 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA). DMBA has also been
officially banned since 2015, but it's still often sold, especially in Germany.
Of course, boosters also contain the next substance, DMHA (dimethylhexylamine), which in terms of effect is
similar to DMAA. At present, DMHA is still legal. The new substance is also currently being
reviewed by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), so it will probably not be available for much longer.

Our Pump Booster contains caffeine (160mg per serving = 2 energy drinks), which contributes to improved concentration, performance and attention. The formula contains Vinitrox™ (apple and grape extract) and is enhanced with L-arginine and L-citrulline. Vinitrox™, L-arginine and L-citrulline increase nitric oxide production and thereby widen the blood vessels. This, in turn, leads to what's known as the Pump.
