i was very sad when companies started to ban it. It worked wonders for me. Is there any where that still manufactures it? are there any products that offer similar results.

There is a product now being manufactured that contains 10 mg of Ma Huang, the herbal form of ephedra. It is called Herbalean and also contains hoodia that acts as an appetite suppressant. I have been taking it for awhile and love the energy that it gives me! It has also been really easy for me to lose the weight that I have - even with really changing my diet. I believe this product was formulated by the original makers of Metabolife.
It's a little different now, but I like it even better than the old Metabolife. It has herb and minerals to give you energy and aid in weight loss and gives you a little bit more nutritional value than the typical weight loss supplement. It is an extended release formula, so I don't get jittery either. It is much more natural feeling than any other ephedra supplement that I have ever tried.

Ephedra is SOOOOOO bad for you. There are sooo many health complications that go with taking it. It may help you lose weight but it will also help you lose you life.
I wouldn't take it if I were you and you'll be hard pressed to find it anywhere.

* you want to start out by taking 12.5 mg doses of ephedrine 30 mins before breakfast and lunch for 3 days to see how your body reacts. then take a full 25 mg before breakfast for several days, then increase the doses before lunch to 25 mg for several days. if you can handle that then try taking another 12.5 mg dose about 3 pm for several days to see if the ephedrine effects your sleep,etc.
* basically you don't want to start off taking the full doses of 25 mg. everyone has a different tolerance to CNS stimulants llike ephedrine so you need to slowly introduce it into your system to find your tolerance level.

I wouldn't even worry about it if I were you. There's been cases where young women have heart damage due to it.
