Ephedra is the first one of our series of Appetite Suppresants reviews, which will hopefully bring your more insights into such ingredients, which should but mostly don’t help you lose weight and might be harmful. You might also want to check Weight Loss Research a website dedicated to reviewing diet pills and making informative weight loss articles.

But let’s focus on Ephedra for now. Is the active ingredients used in many diet pills and weight loss supplements. Many of these products are advertised as ‘Thermo’, ‘Lean’ or ‘Fat Burners’. Since early 1990, the FDA has issued numerous warnings to consumers of diet products and supplements containing Ephedrine and we would recommend that you exercise extreme caution before consuming any products that contain the substance.
Ephedra contains of amphetamine-like substances. They have a powerful stimulant effect on the central nerve system and our hart too. They act nearly the same as ADRENALINE. It raises blood pressure, dilates bronchial muscles which might lead to irregular or rapid hearbeats and other side effects like insomnia, depression and rapid heart rate.

But it gets worse. If (hopefully not!) you take ephedra with combination of caffeine or other herbal stimulants, it can became life threatening. That’s why (according to Weight Loss Research), ephedra should be avoided because of those serious side effects.
