High nicotinic acid in supplement
Ireland: Grenade .50 Calibre Pre-Workout has been recalled due to high nicotinic acid content.
All batch codes, expiry dates, flavours and pack sizes are affected.
One full serving provides 40mg nicotinic acid, which exceeds the safe tolerable upper intake level for nicotinic acid of 10mg per day. It also provides 550mg caffeine.
Nicotinic acid at levels greater than 10mg per day may cause vasodilation and flushing, leading to hypotensive episodes (low blood pressure).
