The Dangers of Stimulant Supplements in Weight Loss!
Ephedra is one of the most dangerous of all dietary supplements. Well over 800 injuries have been reported, including more than 50 deaths. Most of these cases involve the heart attack, high blood pressure leading to cerebral bleeding or stroke. Since 1994, the FDA has received and investigated more than 800 reports of adverse events associated with the use of these products. Reported adverse events range from episodes of high blood pressure, irregularities in heart rate, insomnia, nervousness, tremors and headaches, to seizures, heart attacks, strokes and death. Most events occurred in young to middle aged, otherwise healthy adults using the products for weight control and increased energy.
Ephedra is inexpensive and readily available. Ephedrine alkaloids are amphetamine-like compounds with potentially powerful stimulant effects on the nervous system and heart. Hundreds of consumer illnesses and injuries associated with the use of ephedrine have been reported. Ephedra has been included in a very wide variety of products marketed to increase strength and lead to weight loss. These products may list ephedra as Ma Huang, Chinese ephedra, ma huang extract, ephedra, Ephedra sinica, ephedra extract, ephedra herb powder, or epitonin. Consumers should be aware that just because a product is labeled 'natural' or from an herbal source it is not necessarily safe.
