GNC Holdings Inc. Research Report

On August 5, 2013, GNC Holdings Inc. (GNC) issued a supportive note on the findings of a two year military panel investigation, which checked the possible role of products containing DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine, methylhexanamine or geranium extract - an ingredient found illegally in some dietary supplements)  in the deaths of soldiers who had been exercising rigorously while on duty. The military panel report concluded, "The existing evidence does not conclusively establish that DMAA containing substances are causally associated with adverse medical events." Joseph Fortunato, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of GNC, stated, "At GNC, safety is our number one priority. GNC is delighted that the military's review of DMAA products validated what we already knew; namely, that products containing DMAA do not cause adverse medical events. This is a perfect example of how unjustified criticism of dietary supplements is simply not supported by sound science."
