The hydrochloride and citrate salts of DMBA has been identified as unapproved ingredients in some over-the-counter dietary supplements,[3][4][5] in which it is used in an apparent attempt to circumvent bans on methylhexanamine.[6] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers any dietary supplement containing DMBA to be "adulterated".[7] Despite the FDA's opposition, DMBA continues to be sold in the US.[8]

There are no known human safety studies on DMBA and its health effects are entirely unknown.[3][4][9]
