Ephedra does not suppress appetite, but it will promote weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate of adipose tissue. The effects are greatest in individuals with a low basal metabolic rate and decreased diet-induced thermogenesis. In other words, ephedra speeds up your metabolism. Ephedra and thermogenesis Diet-induced thermogenesis is the direct conversion of ingested food into heat. A lean individual may produce a 40% increase in heat production, whereas an obese individual may only produce a 10% increase in heat production. In these people, the food energy is stored as fat instead of converted to heat. The degree of heat production is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. Ephedrine can activate the sympathetic nervous system, thereby increasing the metabolic rate and thermogenesis. The result is weight loss. Ephedra Plus Caffeine Substances such as methylxanthines (coffee, tea, cola nut, guarana) and salicylates (aspirin, mint, oak) can enhance the thermogenic effects of ephedrine. In one animal study, ephedrine used alone produced a 14% loss in body weight and a 42% loss in body fat. When ephedrine was combined with theophylline or coffee, a loss of 25% body weight and 75% body fat was observed. Caffeine or theophylline used alone produced no significant loss of body weight
Ephedra Diet Pills Ephedra Ban Ruled Invalid On April 13, 2005 the 2004 Final Rule issued by the FDA banning Ephedra was overturned by a Federal Judge. The FDA has 60 days from the ruling date to appeal the courts decision (June 13, 2005). During this period we will be offering Ephedra Diet Pills. If the FDA does not appeal within the allotted time period, the agency will have to return to the rule making process to re-write the rule according to the current law. The “Bottom Line” is: get these products while you can as they may not be available for much longer.
