Laxogenin Added to Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) Advisory List

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has a tool called "The Advisory List" which the agency uses to warn the general public about seemingly unlawful ingredients. Up until recently the list contained 4 ingredients DMAA, Higenamine, Andarine, and Hordenine. Shortly after Methyltrymaine and Octopamine were added.

This week the FDA added another ingredient to the growing list Laxogenin, also known as 5-alpha-hydroxy-laxogenin. This ingredient is found in many supplements on the market, and in a lot of muscle builders.

The FDA suggests manufacturers, retailers, and consumers may wish to avoid anything on the Advisory List, which currently consists of 7 ingredients.

Many criticize the FDA for banning any ingredients which are effective and useful, and overstepping banning ingredients which are not dangerous, but when abused can be dangerous which is essentially every ingredient and chemical.

Technically speaking anything found in nature is not supposed to be added to the list and there are currently court battles going on over DMAA which is found in Nature in Walnuts and other natural things.
