Overview

Dimethylhexylamine (DMHA) is a stimulant similar to dimethylamylamine (DMAA), which is banned by many sports and governments due to safety concerns.

DMHA is structurally similar to DMAA. Some products claim that DMHA comes naturally from aconite plants, but there is no clear evidence that DMHA can be found in these plants. DMHA found in dietary supplements is likely made in a lab rather than produced from natural sources.

People use DMHA for athletic performance, obesity, and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

Don't confuse DMHA with aconite, 1,3-DMAA, 1,4-DMAA, or Ostarine. These are not the same.
