List Of 27 Supplements Containing Banned Substances: Here Are Their Brand Names

The chemicals called “oxilofrine” and “methylsynephrine” might not mean much to people — except when the news breaks that they may have been slipped into certain supplements, with health fiends not realizing they might have taken them.

In the above photo from Saturday, May 19, 2013, the stimulant oxilofrine came into play when Asafa Powell of Jamaica — in the center — tested positive for the oxilofrine banned substance at the Jamaican championships, as reported by Yahoo. Back then, the 100-meter world-record holder who was Asafa learned he had test positive for banned substances, along with Sherone Simpson, his Jamaican teammate, who also tested positive for oxilofrine.

According to the Wiley Online Library, out of a list of 27 supplements that were tested, 52 percent contained oxilofrine. Because certain athletes and bodybuilders want to avoid any chance of ingesting banned substances, a list of the brand names that could contain banned substances is very helpful. The report goes into the details of the dietary supplements “as compared to that of an oxilofrine standard at 0.5 µg/mL.”

They also listed supplements containing oxilofrine, and their label claims. Of those supplements that were tested, 43 percent contained oxilofrine.

“One supplement contained more than twice the usual adult dose and three times the usual adolescent dose.”
