Despite all of the bad press produced by the FDA, they never once denied the benefits of ephedra for weight loss and other medicines that contain ephedra. The problem is not that it works, it is that for a small group of people there were serious side effects, mostly heart related. You see, ephedra works by increasing the metabolism, which in turn increases your heart rate for a period of time. People with pre-existing heart conditions could not handle the increased heart rate and they suffered for it. However, before you buy ephedra, if you read on the bottle, it specifically says to see a doctor before taking. In fact all weight loss medication has this warning, not just ephedra. It just makes good sense.
