Where Can I Get Pure Ephedra Pills
If you are asking ‘Where can I get pure ephedra pills?’ you might have trouble finding an answer unless you live outside of the United States. Ephedra was banned in the United states for the second time in 2006 because there were too many reports of people having serious health issues while using products which contained ephedra. Ephedra is one of the oldest reported herbs which has been used for medicinal purposes by the Chinese for over 5,000 years and by the Native Americans, Mexicans, and Mormons for many years. The ephedra shrub is found in arid regions around the world and has been known by several names. It is called Desert Tea, Squaw Tea, Mormon Tea, Chinese Ephedra, Herbal Ecstasy, Ma Huang, and Epitonin. Ephedra was used for colds, cough, asthma, sinus congestion, bronchial tube and lung congestion, weight loss, as an energy booster, and as a sports performance booster.
Ephedra was first banned in the United States in 2003 after the Food and Drug Administration received over 800 reports, from1994 to 2003, of people suffering from heart attacks, strokes and other serious health issues and even death. Some companies and people did not feel that ephedra was as dangerous as the FDA had reported so they filed a petition in 2004 with the courts to get the ban lifted on ephedra. The court ruled in favor of the public and lifted the ban in 2005. The courts felt that the FDA did not have enough evidence to prove that ephedra was dangerous if used in small doses. It was ruled that no product should have more than 10 mg of ephedra. After the ban was lifted the FDA kept getting reports of injuries from people taking products with ephedra. From 1997 until 2006 they received over 1,000 reports of medical emergencies and at least 17 deaths. The FDA decided to have some of the products, that contained ephedra, tested to see how much ephedra the products contained. The amounts were listed on the labels of the bottles but some of them did not test out like they were labeled. Some of them contained more ephedra and some less than was stated on the bottles. There were also some that did not contain any ephedra at all but it was listed on the label. The FDA took this evidence and filed it in court and ephedra was banned again in late 2006. Many of the companies that had ephedra in their products have since replaced ephedra with other ingredients which work as well but are not as dangerous as ephedra. There were just too many side effects associated with ephedra to allow it to stay on the market.
