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.

  Green Tea extract

  Description:

  Green tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is native to Asia and is widely consumed throughout the world. Green tea has a mild, slightly grassy flavor and is typically lighter in color and less astringent than black tea. Green tea is a rich source of antioxidants, particularly a group of compounds called catechins. These antioxidants are thought to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Green tea is also a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin C and several B vitamins. Green tea is often consumed for a number of purported health benefits including reducing the risk of heart disease, immune-stimulating effects, and weight loss. Oral green tea supplements, containing dried powder, are most often utilized for the caffeine content and used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss.

  Methylhexamine HCl

  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.
