The FDA issued a "guidance" against Concentrated Caffeine supplements in April of 2018 after sending warning letters in 2015.

BUT.... They never define what the word "concentrated" means in this context!!

So in this video, I break down some of this guideline, talk about how it's NOT a law (that is, if you're willing to fight it), and discuss both sides to the story.

On one hand, it's reasonable for a governing body to disapprove of something like 100% pure caffeine anhydrous that's not been 'cut' - it's VERY easy to injure yourself with such a powder

But on the other hand, it's more "nanny state" and the bigger issue is that there is no clearly-defined line in the sand, which makes for an extremely slippery slope. At what point is it NOT concentrated?
