Honey Stinger Waffles: Good Stuff!

We just picked up a new line here, Honey Stinger, who specializes in endurance type products. The Honey Stinger Waffle is one of those products. Inspired by Lance Armstrong, they make a great snack and are eaten by professional cyclists. Honey Stinger Waffles are the only products of its kind that are certified organic. I tried a few of these before, and they are quite tasty. I often find myself eating these just because they taste so good. They are great for adults as well as kids. Currently, Honey Stinger Waffles are available in a 16 pack box in Strawberry, Honey, and Vanilla flavors.

Product Spotlight: Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite

With all the different kinds of Hydroxycut Muscletech has come out with, it's hard to figure out the differences. Their latest release is Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite. Touted as a 4-in-1 super thermogenic, this product is designed to provide extreme energy, enhanced focus, powerful weight loss, and super thermogenesis. The biggest difference between Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite and other fat burners? No proprietary blends! Every ingredient and the amount is broken down in the supplement facts. In two separate clinical studies, the primary weight loss ingredient used in Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite, green coffee extract, was shown to exhibit two times the weight loss compared to the placebo group.

Take one capsule to assess tolerance. Eventually you can move to 2 capsules once daily, and then to 2 capsules twice daily.

1,3-dimethylamylamine, DMAA, Geranium Extract Soon to be Banned

We all expected this to happen. Unfortunately, it looks like it will be coming sooner rather than later. Last Friday, the FDA sent warning letters to 10 companies challenging products containing DMAA, otherwise known as 1,3-dimethylamylamine or geranium extract, for lack of safety evidence. Among the companies listed were USP Labs, makers of Oxyelite Pro and Jack3d, and Nutrex Research, which manufactures Lipo-6 Black and Hemo Rage. There are many other companies not listed that also use this particular ingredient in their products.

USP Labs actually has published studies that show the safety of DMAA. However, the FDA will argue these studies were not done 75 days before their products were marketed, which is required under current law.

The companies listed have 15 days to respond to the FDA with the specific steps they will take to address the issues in the warning letters. As far as what will happen after that, it’s hard to predict. Will all DMAA products have to be taken off store shelves? Will we be able to still sell what we have left in stock? One thing’s for sure – DMAA will eventually be banned. Several companies have already announced they will stop making products with 1,3-dimethylamylamine in them including Labrada Nutrition and AllMax Nutrition. I suggest stocking up on DMAA products because soon they will all be gone.
