EPHEDRA

Ephedra (Ma Huang) is an uncontrolled substance that stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. An herbal plant that has been used by the Chineese for over 5,000 years, it is commonly used to treat asthmas and respiratory infections. It benefits body builders and endurance athletes by promoting "Themogenesis", the burning of fat. The injestion of caffeine along with ephedra intensifies the effect of ephedra on the body by 20%.
