Where to Buy Ephedra
You might have to look long and hard to find a source where you can buy ephedra. Ephedra was banned in the United States in October 2006 so many of the products which once contained ephedra have replaced it with other ingredients. If you live outside of the United States you might find products with ephedra in your own country if it has not been banned in your country too. You might find some products online which contain ephedra but there are not as many as there were before the ban. Some of the products which are now ephedra free are metabolift, Diet Fuel, Energy Fuel, Everslender, Ripped Fuel, Trimspa, Lipodrene, Hydroxycut, Xelerate, Phentramin, Stacker 2, Stacker 3, Stacker Lite, Zantrex, and many more. There are some other natural alternatives for weight loss that are far less dangerous. Hoodia Gordonii is one of the most sought after weight loss pills on the market and it has no side effects. It will suppress the appetite and some report that they experienced a boost of energy with Hoodia also. There are some fake products on the market being sold as real Hoodia Gordonii so be careful and make sure the company can provide proof of authenticity before you spend any money. The real Hoodia Gordonii contains P57 which can not be found in some species of the hoodia plant. The real Hoodia comes from the Kalahari Desert in South Africa and is now protected by the African Government. There are large farming plantations in South Africa which are growing and harvesting Hoodia so there will be enough Hoodia to meet the demand. Hoodia Gordonii will stand alone as a weight loss product and does not need any other ingredients. It has been tested and in all cases studied there was a substantial amount of weight loss.
Ephedra is also known as Ma Huang, Mormons Tea, Squaw Tea, Desert Tea, Chinese Tea, Herbal Ecstasy, and Epitonin. If you see any of these on a label you will know it is ephedra. If you have experienced any serious illnesses from the use of a product which contained ephedra, you may be entitled to some compensation for your suffering. Or if you lost a family member because of ephedra, you are eligible for compensation. Many people have already received compensation for their injuries and many more are filing lawsuits. Talk to a good lawyer in your area to see if you might have a case. There is a statute of limitations for cases like this so do not wait too long. You can also report your experience with the local Health department in your area and also to the FDA Consumer Hotline at 800-532-4440.
