Supplement: Lipodrene Hardcore by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

This product contains

• Ephedra extract

  Description:

  Ephedra, also known as ma huang, is a plant species in the family Ephedraceae, which is native to Asia and parts of North America. It has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including respiratory problems, allergies, and obesity. Ephedra contains a number of active compounds, including ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, which are stimulants that affect the central nervous system. The stimulant compounds in ephedra compounds have been used in a number of over-the-counter and prescription medications, including decongestants and weight loss supplements. While ephedra and related stimulant compounds are still available in a number of over-the-counter medications, such as the inhaler Primatene Mist, and Bronkaid Caplets, it is banned for use in dietary supplements. Ephedra was once an extremely popular ingredient in dietary supplements for weight loss, but it was linked to a number of serious adverse effects, including increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, stroke, and even death. As a result, the use of ephedra and ephedra-containing products were banned or restricted in many countries.

  Description:

  1,3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is a synthetic compound that was once used in dietary supplements, primarily for its purported stimulant effects. It was marketed as a performance-enhancing and weight-loss aid due to its similarities to amphetamines. However, DMAA has been banned or restricted in several countries due to safety concerns, including reports of adverse effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential links to serious health issues like strokes and heart attacks. As a result, DMAA is no longer commonly found in legal dietary supplements.
