The ephedra ban is back on and these are the last few bottles of real ephedra left on the planet. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but in the U.S. at least there will be no more legitimate diet pills with ephedra made again. For two decades, millions of comsumers have comsumed billions of these diet pills safely. But that doesn’t matter. The product can not be made anymore and when current supplies are gone, there will be no more.
GorillaVitamins.com is the sole web site with real ma huang ephedra containing ephedra alkaloids. The stock is very low and there will be a price increase on February 15, 2008. Ephedra, also known as Ma Huang, is an herb utilized by Chinese medicine for over 2,500 years due to its ability to remedy symptoms of asthma and upper respiratory infections. A member of the Ephedracae family of herbs (Ephedra sinica), ephedra is native to northern China and Inner Mongolia where it thrives in desert areas as a jointed, barkless plant with branches that bear few leaves and tiny yellow-green flowers that bloom in summer. While varieties of ephedra grow throughout the world, the United States version flourishes in the dry southwest.
Ephedra became popular to Mormon settlers in the early 1800s as a stimulant consumed in the form of tea in place of the coffee and black tea from which they abstained, giving the plant one of its many names, Mormon Tea. Other folk names that have resulted over time include Desert Tea, Desert Herb, and Squaw Tea. The herbal drink was named Whorehouse Tea after it was served in brothels during the 1800s due to unproven beliefs that it cured gonorrhea and syphilis.
The medicinal herb Ma Huang is made of the dried, young branchlets of ephedra. Harvested in the autumn, ephedra is reproduced from seed or by root division and the stems are dried in the sun throughout the year for production. The herb should be stored away from light. Ephedra gains its strength primarily from the alkaloid ephedrine, pseudephedrine, and norpseudephedrine. These active ingredients produce central nervous system stimulation.
