FDA: Pre-workout recalled over ingredient linked to heart and blood pressure problems
FDA testing found DMAA, a stimulant linked to heart and blood pressure problems, in one recalled lot of the supplement.
FDA officials announced Wednesday that Leader Formulas, LLC recalled its RAPTURE pre-workout supplement nationwide after testing detected DMAA, a synthetic stimulant linked to cardiovascular risks.
Known as 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, DMAA can raise blood pressure and trigger cardiovascular problems including shortness of breath, chest tightness, and heart attacks, according to federal officials.
The recalled 450-gram powder was sold nationwide in three flavors—Rainbow Twist, Electric Lemonade, and Berry Mojito—between January 29, 2025, and May 25, 2026.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and return it to Leader Formulas for a full refund, despite the company reporting no adverse events.
Health officials advise anyone experiencing health issues potentially related to the recalled product to contact their physician or healthcare provider for immediate medical attention.
