I think it works as an appetite suppressant, which is why you lose weight and it does help performance when exercising. But, i now believe its a banned substance in the UK, something to do with it being a bit like speed?
hope you find som help here

Ephedrine alkaloids are amphetamine-like compounds used in OTC and prescription drugs with potentially lethal stimulant effects on the central nervous system and heart. The FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with use of products containing ephedrine alkaloid since 1994. These serious adverse effects, include hypertension (elevated blood pressure), palpitations (rapid heart rate), neurophathy (nerve damage), myopathy (muscle injury), psychosis, stroke, memory loss, heart rate irregularities, insomnia, nervousness, tremors, seizures, heart attacks, and death. The agency has proposed to prohibit the marketing of dietary supplements containing 8 milligrams or more of ephedrine alkaloids per serving.

Oh my god...


I feel really stupid, I was told that they are just an appetite suppressant....


Why would anyone actually take those...


Thank you

Ephedrine actually helps with weight loss by boosting your metabolism by increasing your body’s thermogenesis. It's not necessarily bad; it's just that people were taking more than the recommended dose along with caffeine pills and other medications, and that's where people experienced some really bad side-effects. Read about the pros and cons online though!
