Magnitude Life Sciences
Updated
I tried Dark Energy several times. During one full-scoop test on an empty stomach, I felt energy arrive in waves after roughly 20 minutes. Around 30–40 minutes, the energy felt like 7–8 out of 10 and the mood effect felt close to its peak. Two to three hours after training, my mood was returning toward baseline.
This is a description of past personal use, not dosing advice or safety evidence. I have not seen product-specific safety data that would let me call Dark Energy safe.
Dark Energy is discontinued, and this is a historical review based on my past use and the information available at the time. It is not a current-use recommendation. The FDA says DMAA is not a dietary ingredient and that DMAA-containing products marketed as dietary supplements are illegal. The FDA also considers DMHA an unsafe food additive and dietary supplements containing it adulterated. FitFrek does not recommend buying DMAA.
Dark Energy stopped being produced around 2021. I have not found an official statement confirming why, so this review does not claim that a specific enforcement action caused its discontinuation.
When I first reviewed it, Magnitude Life Sciences was a young company and Dark Energy had built a strong following. That historical popularity is not evidence that the product was safe.
The amounts below reflect the formula information available when I reviewed the product. I could not verify an official current label, and the product is no longer sold.
Many stimulant users described DMHA as a close-enough alternative to DMAA and sometimes described it as smoother. That is user experience, not safety evidence. Magnitude Life Sciences labeled its own product “not for human consumption,” and I would take that warning at face value.
DMAA is also called 1,3 dimethylamylamine or methylhexanamine. The FDA is not aware of reliable science showing that DMAA occurs naturally in plants. The FDA says DMAA can raise blood pressure and lead to cardiovascular problems.
The historical formula also listed citrulline, beta-alanine, taurine, DMAE, caffeine, and GABA. I do not have evidence that the 50 mg of GABA explained the smoother feeling I experienced, and a smooth subjective feel does not mean low risk.
Then: In my historical tests, Dark Energy felt smooth for such a stimulant-heavy formula and produced strong energy and mood effects.
Now: The product is discontinued, the official reason was not confirmed, and there is no verified current seller.
Safety: Subjective smoothness is not evidence of safety. FDA warnings about DMAA and DMHA are the controlling context.
Recommendation: This page is retained as historical documentation. FitFrek does not recommend buying DMAA.
