Overview

BMPEA is a chemical called beta-methylphenethylamine that is made in the lab. It is found in some dietary supplements, usually listed on the label as Acacia rigidula. However, many of these products do not actually contain Acacia rigidula. And if they do, BMPEA is added as well.

BMPEA is commonly used for weight loss and to improve memory and exercise performance. But there is limited scientific research to support these uses.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), BMPEA does not meet the definition of a dietary supplement. Also, it is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for use during competitive sports.
