The government and agencies such as the FDA regulate the foods you consume everyday. However, they are restricted from regulating the supplement industry’s products like pre-workout recipes, though. Because of this, companies are able to place chemicals not allowed in foods in supplements. These dangerous ingredients include beta-methylphenethylamine and dimethylamylamine. Companies are also allowed to make outrageous claims such as guaranteeing muscle growth or performance enhancement. The government is less concerned with the dangers of supplements than the dangers with the rest of food production, while really it should be the other way around.
It is important to remember when purchasing a fitness supplement, the company is selling you a product, it is no coincidence that the container is flashy and boasts a man of unrivaled physique. They sell you the product and desire your continued business, putting it in their best interest to include addictive chemicals not allowed in other foods in their "proprietary blends." In reality the contents should concern you more than the attractive labels, as the contents may cause your body harm, and repeated harm which can wear down your health after you have become addicted to the supplements which you believe are increasing your performance and build.
