Methylsynephrine & Isopropyloctopamine - What are we ACTUALLY ingesting????
Apparently, isopropyloctopamine is being marketed as a fat loss supplement however, isopropyloctopamine [betaphrine] is an uncontrolled drug and is a non-DSHEA compliant ingredient, as evidenced by the FDA's ruling against Syntech Enterprises in 2004 when they tried to introduce betaphrine to the market as an NDI.
[i]"Isopropyloctopamine" (aka "Betaphrine"), a "synthetically produced substance that has not been approved by the FDA and is prohibited from being sold without authorization under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetc Act."
(Deary, et al. v. Vital Pharm., Inc., No. 2:12-cv-04314 (C.D. Cal. complaint filed on May 18, 2012)).[/i]
Since we're on the subject of non-DSHEA compliance, methylsynephrine [which neuron has discussd ad nauseum] is also not found in nature and I am curious as to wether the "methylsynephrine" content from various manufacturers is actually the pharmacodynamically inferior beta-O-methylsynephrine.... or is it the uncontrolled drug oxilofrine. ---> *crickets jpg.*
Any company representatives care to elaborate on this issue?
