IS ALR owned by Dave Palumbo?
No, Palumbo owns Spieces Nutiriton. Author Rea owns ALRI.
ALRI has been nailed for having incorrect labeling. I use to take Hyperdrive 3.0, and recommend it to my clients. It was a "non-stimulant" that had stimulant effects. So I thought, GREAT! One of my friends, a natural competitor, had a heart issue and could not take anything with ephedra or ephedrine - or anything that would increase blood pressure or cause a stimulant effect on the heart - so I thought this would be a good alternative for her. That being said, some of the ingredients in Hyperdrive 3.0:
undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients - sibutramine (a controlled substance), rimonabant (a drug not approved for marketing in the United States), phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication), and phenolphthalein (a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer causing agent)
The health risks posed by these products can be serious; for example, sibutramine, which was found in many of the products, can cause high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia, palpitations, heart attack or stroke. This drug can also interact with other medications that patients may be taking and increase their risk of adverse drug events.
Needless to say - I no longer trust this company.
