Scientists at NSF International Discover Emerging and Potentially Harmful Adulterant Called N,alpha-diethylphenylethylamine (N,a-DEPEA) in a Dietary Supplement


The substance was found as part of a collaborative testing project conducted by scientists at NSF International, Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (NIPHE) in the Netherlands.

“Alarmingly we have found a drug in a mainstream sports supplement that has never been studied in humans,” says Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who has conducted extensive research on supplements.

This is news.

Wow. Harvard, NSF, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the Netherlands, WADA, Australia, Sweden, Patrick Arnold and Dr. Elsohemy all come to the same conclusion.

Hopefully this quells once and for all any conspiracy theories.

I found this interesting- About the Craze testing project: Samples of Craze were purchased online and in stores in the U.S. and Europe. Each sample had a different lot number. Samples were analyzed by NSF International (Ann Arbor, Mich.) using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to an LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer. Samples were also analyzed by the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment using a UPLC-quadruple-time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The identity of N,a-DEPEA was confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance with a reference standard by the Korean Forensic Service. The results of this collaborative testing project were submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Identification and quantitation of N,α-diethylphenethylamine in preworkout supplements sold via the Internet



Abstract

Shortly after we reported the seizure of the amphetamine derivative N,α-diethylphenethylamine (NADEP) as bulk powder, we have identified NADEP in preworkout supplements branded as “Craze” and sold via the Internet. A gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method was validated and used to quantitate NADEP in the supplements. The authentic NADEP sample of the previous study was used as the reference standard for quantitative analysis after purity assay using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Using these methods, NADEP concentrations in two Craze supplements (Berry Lemonade Flavor and Candy Grape Flavor) were quantitated as 0.40 and 0.44 %, respectively. With the label suggesting a serving size of 5.3–5.8 g, this was equivalent to about 23 mg of NADEP. NADEP was patented in 1988 by Knoll Pharmaceuticals with claims of psychoactive effects (e.g., cognitive enhancement and pain tolerance). For unknown reasons, the compound was never developed into a medicine, and important data about its effects and risks are lacking. Nevertheless, the patent suggested an intended oral dose range of 10–150 mg with a target of 30 mg. Therefore, it could be assumed that NADEP was added to the supplements intentionally for its pharmacological effects without adequate labeling. Because NADEP is a structural analog of methamphetamine in which the two methyl groups are only replaced by ethyl groups, it is possible that the toxicity of NADEP is similar to that of methamphetamine. Thus, supplements containing NADEP should be removed from the market immediately. In countries where NADEP is not regulated as a controlled substance, it should be enforced under the Medicines Act.

I guess adding the NSF certification to the labels, misled consumers into thinking:


The NSF mark is your assurance that the product has been tested by one of the most respected independent certification organizations in existence today. It is valued by consumers, manufacturers, retailers and regulatory agencies worldwide.

The NSF certification mark on a product means that the product complies with all standard requirements. NSF conducts periodic unannounced inspections and product testing to verify that the product continues to comply with the standard.

The mark also provides:

Knowledge that an impartial review against established criteria or guidelines has been conducted
Evidence that product labeling and claims have been objectively reviewed by a trusted third party
A way to differentiate your product from your competitors’ and gain advantage in the market
Evidence of your organization’s company-wide commitment to quality, compliance and safety
Backing by a team of professionals dedicated to public health and safety operating in more than 150 countries around the world
