What is Ephedra?

Ephedra, also known by the name "Ma huang," is an ingredient that has been frequently used in dietary and performance enhancing supplements that claim to aid in weight loss and provide an increase in energy. Ephedra has also been used in the past as an ingredient in over the counter decongestants and in some forms of asthma treatments. Ephedra is a naturally occurring substance, with ephedrine as its main active ingredient. Dietary supplements utilize ephedra, as it is a stimulant similar to amphetamines; it raises blood pressure and increases the heart rate. These dietary supplements frequently include caffeine as an additional ingredient alongside ephedra in their products.
