Three unauthorized workout supplements—“Animal PM,” “Blade,” and “Rich Piana 5% Nutrition – 5150”— may pose serious health risks

Health Canada is advising Canadians that it has seized three unauthorized workout supplements from Reflex Supplements at #105–10712, 78 Ave., Grande Prairie, AB. “Animal PM” is labelled to contain L-dopa while “Blade” is labelled to contain yohimbine. L-dopa and yohimbine are prescription drugs and can pose serious health risks. "Rich Piana 5% Nutrition – 5150" is labelled to contain a combination of synephrine and caffeine, a combination that can also pose serious health risks. This product was previously recalled by another company for the same reason. These products may also be sold at other retail locations in Canada.
