According to a news release from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, TruVision recalled the supplements because they contained the unapproved dietary ingredients hordenine and/or octodrine/DMHA (1,5-dimethylhexylamine).

The supplements were sold online at Truvy.com to retail customers and received though the U.S. Postal Service or a parcel carriersuch as UPS, the FDA said. The products were distributed throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Ireland and England.

In the release, TruVision wrote that some consumers using the products “have reported experiencing chest pain, chills, diarrhea, dizziness/lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, high blood pressure, high heart rate, jitters, nausea, nervousness, rash, stomach pain or upset, sweating and vomiting.”

TruVision added that hordenine could be unsafe to take orally and is especially dangerous to pregnant women and people with heart disease. The company said that the use of octodrine during exercise is “potentially dangerous.”

According to the recall notice, “DMHA is considered to be a substance that does not meet the statutory definition of a dietary ingredient and is an unsafe food additive.”
