OxyElite Pro and Liver Damage?

Hopefully this isn't a double post... wondering what people think about the current news about OEP and liver failure? I noticed DMAA is mentioned, however, I thought DMAA is linked to heart and blood pressure issues? Also wondering why Synedrex hasn't been banned.

I took OxyElite Pro for well over a year, and lost all my baby weight because of its appetite suppressant properties. I'm now taking Synedrex intermittently. I'm interested in what the better versed supplement users think about the recent news.

Everybody is just looking for people to be like "Wow thanks brah here's mad rep points"

Thanks. Can someone elaborate on what's going on with DMAA, and why you can still find it in Synedrex? I've never had (knock on wood) an adverse reaction to either product. I stayed on OEP much, much longer than recommended, FWIW.

People used DMAA and supps containing DMAA irresponsibly therefore leading to some incidences in which individuals suffered side effects that would be associated with the irresponsible use of any strong stimulant. Some supps stil have it but it generally excluded now due to companies not wanting to be held accountable for such future problems.

What's this I hear about OEP and liver damage???????

Thanks for the info.

This liver damage speculation is about the new femur though correct, not the original DMAA version? Just wondering because I just purchased the one with dmaa

Id more venture to guess competing companies making bogus accounts to slander USP.

LOL sooo much hype and not enough reading into the entire issue. Everyone is so jumpy with all the recent QC issues...

Sadly the liver thing is true it happened to my mom she got some type of hepatitis from it and was in the hospital so if any one is taking it please stop!!

Are these cases linked to the DMAA version?

I'm very curious about what would be causing the liver failure. If it is indeed the Oxyelite pro linked to the liver failure I'd be willing to be it is something else in there causing it.

Also very interested as to how all of these cases are isolated to Hawaii with no reports elsewhere. Makes you wonder.

When I was in high school the doctor thought I had hepatitis because blood tests from when I donated blood showed that. I went to the gastroenterologist and he said the symptoms of hepatitis were from my fat piercing my liver. This cause my stomach enzyme count to be high which was why i was thought to have hepatitis. I lost weight, stomach enzyme count went down and all was clear.

Stomach enzyme count?

Yah I don't know how to explain it cause I'm not a doctor but I had to take monthly blood tests. Was told to lose weight or get surgery so I lost weight. Every month my stomach enzyme count went down as I lost weight and my last check showed I was clear of anything.

Nah, this time it appears to be actual contamination or possible counterfeit products. USPLabs has temporarily stopped distribution of OEP. Lobliner completely pulled it out of his warehouse.

DMAA isn't going to cause liver damage. It's probably one of those random herbs thrown into the formula for novelty.

Probably referencing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced elevated LFTs.
