                                First introduced in 1982 by bodybuilding figure Dan Duchaine, the pre-workout supplement Ultimate Orange revolutionized the industry with its powerful stimulant effects. For a time, it was one of the most popular supplements in gyms across America, but what did Ultimate Orange have in it that made it so effective and ultimately controversial? The formula was built around a now-banned ingredient that led to its eventual removal from the market.
