If RAPTURE Preworkout is in your gym bag, check the bottom of the container before your next workout. FDA testing found it contains a stimulant that’s not allowed in supplements — and it’s not on the label.
What Was Recalled
Leader Formulas, LLC has issued a nationwide recall of RAPTURE Preworkout, a powder dietary supplement sold to boost energy and performance during workouts.
The recall covers one lot, number 260327-4, across three flavors:
- Rainbow Twist (UPC 710154236506)
- Electric Lemonade (UPC 710143236513)
- Berry Mojito (UPC 710154236544)
The product comes in 450g round plastic containers with red and black lettering and a rhinoceros seal on top. It was sold nationwide through retail stores and leaderformulas.com from January 2025 through May 2026.
Why It’s Being Recalled
FDA testing found RAPTURE Preworkout contains 1,3-dimethylamylamine, known as DMAA — an unapproved stimulant that is not allowed in dietary supplements and was never listed on the label.
DMAA can raise blood pressure and has been linked to serious cardiovascular problems, including heart attack, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It’s the same category of hidden stimulant that has triggered supplement recalls and warnings for over a decade because of how it affects the heart, especially when combined with exercise, caffeine, or existing blood pressure issues.
Leader Formulas reports no adverse events connected to this specific recall as of the announcement.
What to Do If You Have This Product
Stop using RAPTURE Preworkout immediately, regardless of which flavor you have.
Check your container for lot number 260327-4. Even if your lot number is different, DMAA contamination issues like this often widen, so it’s worth watching for updates.
Return the product to where you bought it for a full refund.
If you’ve used this product and experienced chest pain, a racing or irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, or unusually high blood pressure readings, see a doctor as soon as possible and mention the product by name.
Adverse events can also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch program.

FAQ
How do I know if I have the recalled lot?
Check the bottom or side of your 450g container for lot number 260327-4. This applies across all three recalled flavors.
What exactly is DMAA and why is it banned from supplements?
DMAA is a synthetic stimulant once marketed as a natural "geranium extract." The FDA does not consider it a legal dietary supplement ingredient because of its link to elevated blood pressure and serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes in otherwise healthy, active people.
Is it dangerous if I only used it a few times?
Any use carries some risk, especially during exercise when your heart rate and blood pressure are already elevated. If you’ve felt chest tightness, a pounding heartbeat, or shortness of breath after taking it, don’t wait it out — get checked.
Where can I get a refund?
Return the product to the retailer where you bought it, or contact Leader Formulas through leaderformulas.com for a refund on products purchased directly.
Should I be wary of other pre-workout supplements?
This recall is specific to this one lot of RAPTURE Preworkout. It’s still a good reason to buy supplements from brands that third-party test their products, and to be cautious of "proprietary blends" that don’t fully disclose every ingredient.
