Hi,

I want to post a question to get other members opinions. It is a drug found in sports supplements. I am wondering if it caused birth defects in my unborn child that is showing many problems/abnormalities. Where do you think I should post this question?

Thank you.

Right here.

If it's in the wrong place, it will get moved (so, don't worry, we have nice moderators)... But I think here should be fine.

Okay, thank you. Here is my scenerio:

I was taking a preworkout supplement before I went to the gym, on and off for about a year. (Stupid, I know) The supplement name was called Jack3d, but the ingredient that I am worried about is called: 1,3 dimethylamylamine. Also called, DMAA, Methylhexanamine, forthan, forthane, floradrene, geranamine. This supplement also had a little caffeine in it. It was a bad choice, and I will never take it again.

My wife is now 19 weeks pregnant and the fetus is showing many birth defects/abnormalities. Do you think that I could have caused these birth defects since I took this supplement all the way up to conceiving our child?

Any useful thoughts/feedback would be great. Thank you.

I googled it, all i could come up with is some people experience their penis getting smaller or have erectile dysfunction, no evidence of it causing birth defects. If your wife had taken it then it might have been more likely but try google, the top hits didn't mention anything like you said but such things are often complex and difficult to really pin down the cause.... Did you take any other supplements?
