Questions about DMBA testing

Is DMBA the same as DMAA or DMHA?

No. DMBA, DMAA and DMHA are different alkylamines with different masses, and the chromatographic assay separates and identifies them.

Can you test it in a finished product?

Yes. Capsules, powders, gummies and liquids are measured with sample preparation matched to the product, and reported in mg per serving or % w/w against the label.
