Ephedra Supplement Behind Controversy Still Helps in Building Your Body
from:Shopping for clothes could be the most embarrassing experience for you especially if your choices are very limited because only a few products fit your size. You might have a fine height but not a fine waistline. Do not feel depressed because there are many ways to make your choices unlimited. They include regular exercise, well-balanced diet, punctual sleeping habits, and the most popular body building supplements.
Body building supplements have become the new trend for achieving a healthy body. They can provide your body with the needed minerals and nutrients so that your muscles can recover after doing a vigorous exercise. Thus, agility and strength are maintained. In addition, good body building supplements contain ingredients such as phosphorus, protein, chloride, calcium, vitamins, zinc, and manganese.
You must first consult a physician or a gym instructor before using a body building supplement. However, some supplements are prescribed by doctors to accompany a certain medication to treat some diseases. It is also helpful to read reviews about the product to know its advantages and disadvantages. Take for example the Ephedra body building supplement.
Ephedra is one the most controversial body building supplements ever released. It was discovered by the Chinese from a plant Ma Huang more than five thousand years ago. It became the foundation of the Chinese traditional medicine. Ephedra is used to treat flu, fever, colds, and other related symptoms. Recently, some research revealed that Ephedra can increase metabolism, promote fat burning and weight loss, curb appetite, promote urination for relieving water retention, and relax the lung airways to help in treating cough and asthma.
However, the side effects of Ephedra such as irregular heartbeat and increased blood pressure led the Food and Drug Authority (FDA) to ban its use in April 2004. The reactions of consumers were mixed. But Ephedra banning does not affect the traditional herbal remedies of the Chinese and herbal tea products containing such elements. Likewise, the use of pseudo ephedrine and ephedrine supplements.
The FDA was alarmed because many Ephedra users try to find ways to evade the ruling. Since, then some Ephedra copycat products have invaded the New York market. Government officials again called out for banning these products. But they were silenced by Judge Tena Campbell who favored a supplement company in Utah. The FDA ban was challenged by Nutraceutical Corporation claiming that Ephedra is safe to use as proven by its prolonged usage in the history of traditional medicines. FDA never regulated Ephedra as a food but a type of drug. And because the FDA failed to demonstrate that use of Ephedra was unsafe, Judge Campbell lifted the Ephedra ban permitting its sales for 10 milligrams or less. So, the use of Ephedra was legalized.
A naturopathic physician, Dr. C. Wong welcomed the new Ephedra ruling. She said that deaths attributed to Ephedra are very few compared to pharmaceutical drug fatality rates.
Ephedra products are believed to help people lose excess weight provided that doses are strictly followed. Although the FDA treated it as a dangerous drug, more and more people are taking Ephedra for losing weight. Those people often consider that no other herbs are as effective as Ephedra.
