Ephedra Finally and Fully Banned
Ephedra-based diet supplements have finally been completely and fully banned. The last 18 months has been a series of mixed messages.
Here is where things stand:
- February 2004 - FDA prohibited sales of diet supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids.
- In April 2005 a judge in Utah struck down the FDA ban
- Later in 2005 supplement makers began making pills with a 10mg dose of the ephedra alkaloid. This made things very confusing and left many wondering whether ephedra was legal or not.
- Aug 17 2006, the FDA has upheld their original ban (effectively reversing the Utah court decision).
The Last Word
From the FDA:
No dosage of dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids is safe and the sale of these products in the United States is illegal and subject to FDA enforcement action.

I use an ECA stack to help me with weight loss! The only problem i have found from using this have nothing to do with the Eph but infact from the aspirin as aspirin thins your blood it cause me too bruise and the lightest touch and have spontaneous nose bleeds bar that i have never had a problem.
ReplyNicky are you taking a multi????? Nose bleeds maybe mean your deficient in a mineral or some sort. I got them before I did an ECA stack and was out of the blue. I take a multi everyday,CLA, ECA thats it. Well protein shakes but I eat every 3-4hrs small portion meals too so I get enough nutrients.
ReplyYou can get ephedra otc. Products such as Vasopro and Bronkaid are excellent sources. They both have no difference due to one is HCL and the other is Sulfate. I use i tablet of Bronkaid,200 mg caffiene, and white willow which is the original asprin and does not cause severe problams like the aspirins you see otc. Aspirin is derived from White Willow bark and is a natural herb. I find myself to feel more energy than ever and feeling good throughout the day. Everybody is different and need to talk to a physician before any diet program. ECA is effective and why bother the extract crap you see. Thats junk and does not have all the alkoids to ephedra. Always start slow to see your tolerance. Some people reacts better to higher caffiene than others. But always go what your body says if you don't feel right then something is wrong. And always no pill will help achieve your weight loss goals unless your dkiet is clean. So don't expect to take something when your at all you can eat burgers at McDonalds. Diet comes first before anything. Like the saying goes, you are what you eat. ECA is a helping hand but not a miracle pill.
ReplyRegarding phentermine or phen phen , fen fen or axipex . I was involved with the manufacturing of phentemine375™, this almost did not get produced; one of its active ingredients is extremely close to phen phen active ingredient. Its literally in the same family, the pharmaceutical manufacture notified our company of this fact , here is an expert from that email “this product is a kissing cousin to phen fen and production is on hold until proper investigation of its legality in the use of our phentemine375™. “ DHEA was the next problem producing we encountered in this product .In fact we were rejected for processing by a bank because this product contains DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone. We have since after 2 years of testing, production released the product on the market. Our biggest complaint so far has been the appearance size and color. Since we added the DHEA the color has changed from a crisp white tab with blue specks to a larger slight grayish tab with blue specks. Most people don’t realize that pharmaceutical products are covered under patents and there ingredients are secrete. We have to list the binding agents in our tabs on the label. Since we have also added DHEA and a HGH the tab size has obviously increased. Now instead of a tiny table it’s like taking an aspirin. If you were to attempt to purchase specific ingredients in our tab you would be require to have a prescription. We specifically developed our product into the tab which was classified differently. For obvious reason we did the whole project to avoid the prescription requirement. Effedera diet pills for years were sold over the counter. Many other diet pills which contain Alkaloids have been removed from the market due to the abuse or misuse of people manufacturing methamphetamine . Obviously abuse of a good product is what typically ruins it for everyone else. Many over the counter like dextrim have been taken away and were proven to work effectively. We hope our product will stay on the market and people will not abuse it. I have already seen posts from students that they use it to study with, helps their concentration or help to keep them sober when partying supposedly. We assume it’s having a similar effect that other Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder when using substances like Ritilan. We never tested phentemine375™ for that purpose, but again that is what happens when people start abusing a product. Our phentemine375™ does address some hormonal issues and certainly will increase your heart rate and metabolism and help curb appetite improve your body’s ability to burn fat stored, if you follow the instructions on the bottle. It’s not going to lose weigh alone; you will actually have to diet and exercise accordingly. No pill on earth will help you if you are over consuming calories .
I wanted to share this with everyone here so you can see from both sides. Products that work are very difficult to bring to market , then once on the market people want to criticize you because its new . Then you get to the part where people start abusing it. Next you get sued or the FDA forces you to take it off the market. What I hope everyone here will understand it’s mostly about being responsible for your actions. Don’t abuse, don’t over eat, over drink do abuse anything, even water in excess can cause serious health issues. All things consumed need to be balanced. Abusing diet pills, tabs, supplements or prescription medications carry dangerous consequences. If you do abuse a product you are responsible and that responsibility should be yours alone and not the rest of the people who are showing responsible actions. I don’t agree with all of the FDA regulations on diet products , personally I think most of it is due to the pharmaceutical industry lobbing, but it also bits them in the butt at times take the example of phen fen . You should also thank all of those greedy people and attunes who sue simply to get an easy buck.
That’s my 2 cents worth , I hope if causes people to reflect on the diet industry and self control .
