Ephedra Diet Pill: Where to Buy in 2008

Warning: Fake Ephedra is being sold. Look on the label. It will state "ephedra Leaves". This ingredient is legal and ineffective - it will not work.

Metabadrine is the only real ephedra diet pills that we are aware of remaining on the market.

A state of emergency exists in the weight loss pill market. We can no longer make ephedra products and as of November 18, 2007, this is not going to change. We have lobbied congress

 to no avail. The drug companies will not let ephedra diet pills be sold because they are "too dangerous", but of course their drugs are safe. According to the news, they are not as safe and not as effective as good old ephedra.

GorillaVitamins.com Has Metabadrine Pills with Real Ephedra

The last remaining ephedra, real ephedra, is a product called Metabadrine. There are new products with old names (Lipodrene® by Hi-Tech) now have ephedra leaf. The reason they switched is two fold:

• They want to fool you, their valued client
• There is no alkaloids in the leaf portion of the plant - it can't work, so its legal!

FDA: Restore Ephedra Diet Pill Ban

FDA asks court to restore ephedra diet pill ban wrongfully arguing that even low-doses of ephedra can be dangerous. Millions of consumers of ephedra diet pill products would disagree. A handful of powerful drug companies would agree: they have a dozen new diet pills coming to market soon.

May 20, 2006

The federal judge who lifted the ban on ephedra dietary supplements containing low doses of the weight-loss aid, misunderstood the law. So goes the lame Food and Drug Administration argument trying to restore the ban.

An attorney for the Nutraceutical Corp. in Utah that successfully challenged the ban told a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that if the judge’s decision is overturned, the FDA could ban virtually any substance on the market it determines is harmful in large doses, such as vitamin C tablets or peanut butter.

Ephedra, which was linked to dozens of deaths and thousands of reports of health problems such as heart attack or increased blood pressure, was banned two years ago. The agency, which has of late been caught with its hand in the back pockets of "Big Drug" companies, determined ephedra diet pills represent an unreasonable risk of illness or injury at any dose.

Ephedra Diet Pill Ban Challenged

Nutraceutical Corp. challenged the ephedra ban, and U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell in Salt Lake City ruled last year the ban could not be enforced against supplements containing doses of ephedra up to 10 milligrams. Since billions of servings of ephedra were consumed annually before the ban, reason dictates the diet pill is safe when used as directed. Ephedra is much safer than Vioxx, which the FDA said was safe until it was obvious it was not.

A FDA representative told the judges that Federal Judge Campbell did not understand the law or the FDA’s duties in regulating dietary supplements, especially ephedra dietary supplements. She also said Campbell essentially ignored scientific information on ephedra’s effects on the body.

Campbell ruled that the FDA improperly required Nutraceutical to prove there was some benefit to ephedra use. Instead, the judge ruled, and longstanding legal statutes agree that the FDA should have had to prove harm.

Kohl said the risk-benefit analysis the agency used was proper because it would have been “irresponsible” to commission a clinical study to prove harm after the FDA began receiving reports of adverse effects.

Flawed Study Used to Ban Ephedra Diet Pill

In shocking arguments before the appeals court, it was revealed that the FDA based its ban the intake of various substances similar to ephedra diet pills, but not on ephedra itself. Nutraceutical attorney Jonathan Emord argued that Judge Campbell was correct in determining that the FDA should have studied the effects of various doses of ephedra and issued specific, dose-based regulations rather than a total ban on diet pills with ephedra alkaloids.

“Unless you have proof it presents risk at a specific dose level, you can’t just willy-nilly ban these things,” Emord said. “This is an irrational scheme.” The attorney argued if the ban is restored, it would essentially give the FDA license to ban any product, even if the harm comes only at exceedingly high doses.

Emord said Nutraceutical, based in Park City, Utah, has not resumed selling low-dose ephedra supplements because there has been no reliable source available since the ban took effect.

The judges did not indicate when they would rule.

There is a difference between ephedrine alkaloids and synthetic ephedrine marketed as ephedra diet pill products.

This month has seen a rise in the new ephedra, Ephedra viridis, is not the same as ephedra sinica. This product is being marketed as the only legal ephedra sold in the U.S. Well, that's because its worthless!

Ephedrine is only one of the naturally occurring alkaloids present in Ephedra extracts. Other alkaloids include pseudoephedrine (which is less potent than ephedrine) and alkaloids that slow the absorption of ephedrine from the digestive tract and/or counteract the stimulant effects of the ephedrine in the extracts.

Obesity, defined as Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2 , is a widespread problem in the U.S., the cause of many diseases and a major public health concern. One-third of Americans, up from 25 percent as recently as 1980, are obese, according to statistics gathered by the National Institute of Health.

This dramatic rise in such as short time paints in alarming picture of the rapidly mounting threat obesity poses to our national health. Removing ephedra diet pills from the market will only raise the rates.

Obesity increases the risk of severe chronic illnesses, most notably heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and is associated with reduced life span. Obesity kills over 300,000 U.S. citizens each year. Nearly six percent of all the total health care costs in this country, more than fifty billion dollars, is attributable to obesity. Clearly, ephedra products would be a part of any reasonable plan to combat the rise in obesity, but politicians pander to special drug company interests.
