Answer 2

While I think any plan to loose weight should be accompanied by diet and exercise, I think Ephedra can be used safely. It should not be taken if you have high/low blood pressure, like many diet pills.

As to the effects of Ephedra, it depends on the person taking it and their dosage. The FDA has stated that the allowable dose is 10mg in an extended release formula.

What people also may not know is that Ephedrine, the synthetic version of Ma Huang Ephedra, is widely used in asthma medicines and other medications. Ephedrine is what they use to make meth - you can't make meth with the herbal, Ma Huang Ephedra.

As to the effects, I love it. I take a supplement called Herbalean, and it's from the original makers of MetaboLife. They have a formula with 10mg of Ephedra as well as Hoodia Gordoni for appetite suppression, along with 77 trace minerals and 14 herbs.

The Hoodia works very well for keeping the snack cravings down, and I get energy through the whole day from the ephedra. The first couple weeks I took it, I had to actually set the alarm on my cell phone to remind me when to eat. I usually have a couple strong coffees each day, but with Herbalean, I definitely don't need the coffee anymore.

Answer 4

ephedra works when used properly. the fda was moronic in banning its sale as a weight loss product.

Answer 5

The are only bad when abused. Although I would advocate a proper diet and exercise as the best way to loose weight.

Answer 6

If you consider taking them you should. The more stupid people die early the less of them to reproduce.
