Ephedra is actually used as a herbal remedy in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of asthma and hay fever, as well as for the common cold. Known in Chinese as ma huang, Ephedra is a stimulant that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure and heart rate.
Ephedra is both a stimulant and a thermogenic; its biological effects are due to its ephedrine and pseudoephedrine content. These compounds stimulate the brain, increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels, and expand bronchial tubes. Their thermogenic properties cause an increase in metabolism, evidenced by an increase in body heat.
Ephedra has also been used for weight loss, sometimes in combination with aspirin and caffeine (known as an ECA stack). Some studies have shown that Ephedra, when taken in a regulated and supervised environment, is effective for marginal short-term weight loss.
While I was searching for some sites which features Ephedra on a diet pill, I stumbled upon Diet Pills With Ephedra’s website. The article I read was quite intriguing. So if you want to know more on what I just found out, click here.
