Lipodrene Lite 100 With Ephedra
Lipodrene Lite 100 With Ephedra is no longer available because ephedra was banned in the United States in late 2006 for the second time. Lipodrene contained ephedra Hoodia Gordonii which is a cactus like succulent herb which is found in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. Hoodia has been scientifically tested and in every case study in rats and humans there was substantial weight loss without any side effects. Other ingredients in Lipodrene are microcrystalline cellulose, solutab AE, magnesiumstearate, Aerosil, and #10 yellow food coloring.

Lipodrene may have been one of the products which caused so many health issues for its users that it may have contributed in the decision to have ephedra banned in the United States. There was proof that even when taken in small doses, as little as 8 mg per dose , ephedra was causing people to suffer from heart attacks, strokes, and other illnesses. There were over 1,000 reports of medical emergencies related to ephedra products and at least 17 deaths reported to the FDA from 1997 until 2006. Lipodrene was one of many products which contained ephedra and the numbers of injuries and deaths were just too high for the FDA to ignore. Some people felt that ephedra was not that dangerous but the evidence speaks for itself. If that many cases were reported it makes one wonder just how many cases went unreported because it was not known what caused the problem or death. There were many side effects reported from people taking different products that contained ephedra. Ephedra was just too dangerous in any size dosage to take the chance of risking more lives.
