I’m confused. I thought ephedra was illegal. Here’s houston company claming ephedra is back and here’s a list of their ingredients - with Ma Huang as ephedra alkaloids? Is that considered ephedra? I’m assuming it’s marketing and it won’t work nearly as good as ephedra.
IMPORTANT: Keep out of reach of children. Keep tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place.

The ban on ephedra has been lifted (for now) so its legit. The funny thing is, even when it was outlawed, you could still get Ephedrine HCL at any gas station. Apparently the government didn’t want you to use the herbal extracts (which may or may not be standardized) but use of the chemical form was okay.
Anyway, ephedra IS back … at least for a little while longer.
I could be wrong BUT…Nationwide, the ban has not been lifted. It was lifted by a district court in Utah of all places. Technically, they are the only district exempt from the ban.
Companies can produce pills with 10 mg or less of ephedra. You won’t find many companies even doing this, due to the cost of insurance. There are still supplements available… Ephedrine can be derived from herbs other than Ma Huang. Not sure of the efficacy of these versions though.
A good searcher can find ALL kinds of ephedra online.
JammieBane has the right idea. Also, it’s important to note that some states still have their own laws, irrespective of whether one interprets the ruling in Utah as applying on a national level or not.
Where did you see this? Can I order them online? I haven’t been able to find anything with ephedra in it for a while. Its nice if you work out in the morning.

you can get it pretty much anny where with a few exeptions:
1)Big box Or national supp chains can’t & wont carry ephedra.
2)mainstream supp sales wbsites(body bulding .com,supplement central, ect…) cannot carry ephedra
3)ma hung can be dosed up to 225 mg IF the ephedra ammount is standerdized to 10 mg. or less.
none per week. But you may find yourself cheating every so often. I find myself “cheat” on average about every month and a half. And when i “cheat” its usually not that i eat an overload, i usually just have some carbs with a meal that i shouldnt be eating, or something.
It’s never particularly unhealthy. Like imagine Nigiri Sushi(P+C) for dinner when i should have P+F.
