• What substances may be banned?

  • Sources:

    Several substances discussed on the Mind Pump Podcast face potential bans or are already banned due to safety and regulatory concerns:

    1. BPC-157 and CJC-1295: These peptides are under scrutiny, and there is a possibility that compounding pharmacies may not be able to produce them in the future 1.
    2. Dihexa: Another compound mentioned in potential banning lists due to safety concerns 1.
    3. Ephedra and Pseudofed: These substances, notably for their stimulant effects, faced bans and regulation changes. Ephedra was once widely used in supplements but was banned due to severe side effects and health risks 2.
    4. NAC (N-acetylcysteine): This supplement, beneficial for liver health and glutathione production, was temporarily pulled from shelves and faced regulatory scrutiny, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic 1.
    5. Certain Pre-Workouts: Specific pre-workout supplements contained meth precursors, leading to bans and legal action due to their dangerous effects 2.

    These regulatory measures often result from safety risks and potential misuse, influencing not only availability through legal channels but also impacting the growth of gray or black markets for these substances.
