A dietary supplement sold nationwide has been recalled after testing revealed undeclared ingredients that could cause life-threatening health risks, federal regulators announced Thursday.
The Food and Drug Administration reported that Modern Warrior Ready supplements contain tianeptine, 1,4-DMAA, and aniracetam — substances not listed on the product label.
Modern Warrior sold the supplements online, marketing them as boosting metabolism, improving brain function, and reducing cravings.
The recall affects potentially thousands of consumers who purchased the supplements between April 2022 and December 2025.
The products pose serious cardiovascular and mental health dangers, particularly for younger users.
Tianeptine can cause “life-threatening events” including “suicidal ideation” in people 25 and younger, according to FDA officials. Overdoses may trigger confusion, seizures, drowsiness, dry mouth, and shortness of breath.
The substance 1,4-DMAA raises blood pressure and could lead to heart attacks, shortness of breath, and chest tightening.
Modern Warrior voluntarily recalled its “Body Repair Plan” supplement on January 9. The product comes in a black plastic bottle with gold-and-black shrink wrap, displaying “READY” and “Mental Clarity” on the label.
The supplements contain 60 capsules per bottle. They were sold online and distributed across the United States.
Consumers who have purchased Modern Warrior Ready supplements should immediately stop using them, the FDA advised. The agency did not specify how to dispose of or return the products.
For more information, consumers may contact the company directly by phone at 314-713-1984 or by email at [email protected].
The recall highlights ongoing concerns about dietary supplement safety and regulation. Unlike prescription drugs, supplements don’t require FDA approval before hitting the market.
