                                According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), DMAA is an illegal and unsafe dietary ingredient, with no safe equivalency to caffeine due to its dangerous, high-risk profile. While both act as stimulants, they operate through fundamentally different physiological mechanisms and carry vastly different levels of risk.
