Has the ban on ephedra been lifted in the U.S,?

i dont think so...products that contained ephedra were lifted off the market until it was ephedra free...now they contain a product similar to ephedra only without the side effects and possiable fatalities.

It's prohibited in the United States; not elsewhere.

Ephedra is DANGEROUS. Do not take it. There are no quick fixes. Diet and exercise is the only way. See your doctor first.

Not to sound mean, but you're not going to keep anything off that you might lose without being physically active. Ephedra did the trick, but there's a reason they took it off the market - increases your metabolism; increases heart rate and blood pressure to a potentially unsafe level for not being active. The same can be said about large amounts of caffiene, but I don't recommend that either. Amphetamines do the same thing, but I strongly advise against that for a lot of reasons including health risks and legality issues. If you really want so lose weight, reducing your caloric intake and exercising regularly is the only safe, effective way to go. It's a matter of whether you're really willing to sacrifice and work for the results.

ephedra is back on the market, it's been back for a while now. but places like gnc don't carry it. Look to smaller health and nutrition joints

Are you exercising? Try walking everyday for an hour.  If not, order EPH200 it is all natural and even the FDA has approved it.  This stuff is ephedra free and phenomenal.

No-doze (caffeine pills), anything that says decongestant (which includes sudafed), methylxanthines in chocolate, nicotine gum. Be cautious and avoid energy pills - there any many variations of the now-illegal ephedra which is seriously dangerous.\n\nGood luck!

It's a natural stimulant. in the same family as Caffeine. Lots of diet pills use it as a substitute for caffeine or ephedra.

I don't think you should buy it. Ephedrine is known to be bad for the heart as well as the liver and if you want to try a diet pill you might want to talk to your doctor or nutritionist and find something without Ephedra in it.\n\nEither that or do it the old fashion healthy way, just a well balanced diet and exercise.

Here's a list of the seven herbs- straight from the website. IF these are the correct ones, it doesn't contain ephedra. one of them (citrus aurantium) does contain synephrine, which has similar effect to ephedra although supposedly not the damaging nervous system effects for which ephedra was banned. And it does also contain African Hoodia. The others are all minerals or plant extracts currently sold over the counter for weight loss. None of it sounds too dangerous... as long as you don't over do it. I'm not sure it will work better than anything else already out though. And yes, I totally think they stuffed that girl on their website. \nVitamin D \nCalcium \nChromium \nCitrus Aurantium \nGreen Tea \nSouth African Hoodia Gordonii \nGarcinia Cambogia \nGymnema Sylvestre \nGuarana \nYerba Mate \nWhite Willow Bark \nGelatin \nMagnesium Stearate \nSilicon Dioxide \nEPH200 does not contain ephedra.

Yes its still around... just not as much as its not as desirable anymore and for the 2 arrests made in 2000.\n\nbut to the people who say make your own... thats not really possible unless your an university trained oganic chemist with atleast 10 grand in lab equipment. Thats one of the reasons why LSD is harder to find, becuase its harder to get somone to make it. its not your standard meth lab set up that 2 black guys can do in a bath tub.\n\nanyways lately ive only seen it in liquid form, the main supplyer for United states is probly putting it in liquid and not blotter.

If it's what I'm thinking of it's a drug to increase your metabolism used in weight loss. Usually any drug labeled with EP or EPH stands for ephedrinee which is actually illegal in the US but companies can get away with it if the ephedrin is still in the herbal form and not actually excreted!

That's strange.  Did you ask about it at the pharmacy counter?  Maybe there is a reason they don't carry it anymore?\n\nWalgreens DOES carry it.  Try there.  http://www.walgreens.com

Ephedrine is used to lose weight, by speeding up your metabolism and it can cause heart problems. It has been banned from sale, but you can find it in other items like some cough syrups. It is also known as Ephedra.
