Jack3d FDA recall??
So I was about to order some jack3d from bodybuilding.com along with my other supps, but noticed it was no longer on the site even though it was a few weeks ago. So I went ahead and emailed them to see why...this was the response I got.
Thank you for your e-mail. I would be happy to help you with that! I do
apologize, but the Jack3d has been discontinued from our website for the time
being. The FDA has recalled an ingredient in this product that is not proven to
be safe, so we have voluntarily removed Jacked from our website. We may sell it
again in the future. In the mean time, check out these other pre workouts.
Maybe this has to do with those army/marine deaths that were linked to Jack3d abuse? I always liked it and really liked the fact that it was barley the size of a shot of water, rather than downing a whole glass with assualt and then drinking a big ass shake before workout. I did notice if I took too much jack that id get almost a fucking panic attack in the gym, one time so bad that I had to leave cause I thought I was going to have a heart attack. So just a heads up to anyone using Jack3d. What other pre workout supps do you guys recommend?

UFODamn...I had no idea. Thanks for all the info guys...thinking I might give the pre work outs a rest for now. Now that you say its basically an amphetamine that explains a lot...got jittery as shit and had panic attacks when I took too much jack.
Sweet jesus, bro!!!...panic attax?!?!...damn. There's nothing wrong with other pre-workouts....check out Assault or Cellucor NO extreme and/or C4. They are decent, without the jitters and panic attax!!! HAHA...wow, you'll be okay now. That DMAA is serious shit.
UFOWell, ONE time I had what I can only explain as a panic attack at the gym, thought I ws gunna have a fucking heart attack. Using assault now which I do like.
a couple cups of coffee works good for me. strong and black... no homo.
Over here in Oz it is known to be the leading cause of renal failure. I have been saying this for quite a while now. I would love it if people would listen
AnonCNS stimulants have been known to burn out adrenal glands not to mention a laundry list of other detrimental long term sides, especially from one as strong as jack3d.... I don't know why people think they can take amphetamines pre workout and it actually be safe. You know what works great pre-workout? CARBS. I don't know why anyone would want their BPM to be 120 when they walk into the gym before a weight is even touched....
This is why I don't like not being able to thumbs up in off topic!!!! Thank you sir! You shouldn't need pre work outs if your diet is right! It's called carbs people! +1 (imaginary)
AnonCall me crazy but if I don't pack down 80g or so pre W/O my strength plummits personally.... When I cut I go first thing in the AM for this reason even though I hate doing it. Thanks grl
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.PermalinkScrew Jack3d...that shit is so bad for you man. The 1,3 Dimethyl...is a neuro-stimulant anyway. I never could understand why people liked feeling like that when they workout...lifting on amphetamines, it is so closely related that it'll make you pop positive on urine tests. It's like a dirty speed high anyway and then you crash, ALSO...from long term use it begins to tear your joints up anyway. Anyone who wants to prolong their lifting 'career' and use of AAS in tandem probably doesn't need torn up joints either. That same shit is in ALOT of pre-workouts and fat-burners. I like the old caffeine jolt on the low end of things with some BCAAS and other aminos for mental clarity and I'm G2G!!
Yeah I agree, it does feel like a speed high. "Oxy elite pro" does the same thing to me.
Same chemical bro...look at the ingredients.
I like how they didnt mention what ingrediant it was..lol, I'm taking driven sports craze atm, very good stuff! I still have the empty cases of Jack3d and compared them. Jack3d has ALOT of warnings on it..
good call man, im a fan of driven sports also. they are very underrated. i can't believe all the nonsense that actually sells....
the magic ingridient recall is DMAA (1,3 dimethylamylamine)aka methylhexaneamine (MHA); aka geranium oil/stem/extract—is the infamous, supposedly natural, active ingredient in Jack3d, and has been linked to possible risk of liver damage and heart failure. fucking supps......
Damn...I wasnt expecting it for DMAA to be the ingrediant.. but there doesnt seem to be any DMAA in my craze unless its under a different word so thats good! funny how you can buy these supplements in shops and they could kill you hahaha.
Yeah, you gotta pay attention to the supplement facts...'Italian' pretty much hit all the variety of names there related to DMAA. Geranium, methylhexamine, etc. He knows what's up!!
Two soldiers died while training after drinking that shit.
It's now banned on all Military bases.
Proof once again that a LOT of supplements are far more dangerous than steroids.

Amen to that goth!! I've got three letters for all these folk that want a pre workout formula "TNE"!!! TNE gentleman !! Best shit I've ever used for a pre workout hands down!!
I agree with this. I refuse to use any preworkout. My fried could be a fucking salesman for that shit and I tell him he is a fool for drinking it. I think energy drink are right up there with preworkout as well. PS everything I am saying I am doing so at a whisper. Thanks
testaholicDude, muscle pharm's assualt is way better than jack3d. BUT its more expensive and doesn't mix worth shit. One full scoop and I'm ready for a kill spree!
UFOYea thats what Im using now, feel like the jack got me more fired up with better pumps. Still like the assault but dont like slamming a huge thing of water with it since I always drink a big ass shake pwo too.
i was actually about to purchase some myself...you know you might want to try straight black coffee, i have a feeling alot of the shit they put in these drinks is going to come back and bite us years later. i am currently drinking a cup of black coffee before i lift due to cutting. thanks for the post.
UFOShit man im one of those that likes a little coffee with my sugar n cream...def hear you on these pwo drinks being bad for you, some of the warning labels are ridic.
Any one use black powder? I get insane pumps from it. I feel lik i swell up a little right after taking it before i go to the gym. I know it works because I always have to take a shit 15 minutes after drinking it.
Dude hemo rage black (ultra concentration).. Badasd shit
i was on that for a long time. loved it, made strong as fuck in the gym. now i'm on friction pretty stuff if you like caffeine
UFOThat shit looks intense. The way they market is like Im smoking a huge crack rock before workout. But this shit is also discontinued?
AnonGnc has available on their website
UFOThanks bros, think Im gunna try the 1MR since its like jack3d and only 1 little scoop.
be ready for some bitter ass taste with 1MR. Its good tho and does what its suppose to.
shit tastes like cough medicine literally.
1.M.R from bpi, iv always loved jack3d but it always gave me bad heart burn and i got to where 3 scoops just wasent as effective anymore but i stayed on 1.M.R for months and never had to use more than one scoop yet it still gave me the tingly feeling and a great boost with no heart burn.
i like super pump. 5g leucine per serving makes me feel better about taking down something that i, and everyone else knows, is absolutely awful for you. the obvious better choice is coffee or green tea
56tooYeah dude, I've cut way down on that shit. I had been taking it for several days str8 and one day I get to the gym and I my big ass head started gyrating like if I had fucking Parkinsons disease and I mean I could'nt control it. I'm like WTF is this? I cut down on it and its neve happened again.Im using 1MR now and very sporadically. I like the taste of tat better. IMO though the best pre, during, or post w/o is having some good ole test running through you. Nothing like it
