Lipodrene Hardcore with Ephedra is a nonprescription weight loss supplement that markets itself as being the only product containing ephedra extract that is legal in all 50 states. It states that it contains 25 milligrams of a form of ephedra extract called Thermo-Z.

From the start, this should be seen as a red flag by dieters. Either Hi-Tech Pharma, the company behind Lipodrene Hardcore with Ephedra is being deceptive about containing actual ephedra extract and is, indeed, using a legal substance, or it is lying about the legality of its top ingredient.

The reason is the ephedra, ephedrine and their alkaloids have all been banned from use in weight loss supplements in the United States since 2004. Despite what many companies say about various forms of the ingredient or quantities, it is not legal for use in any quantity and has not been since that time. There have been large lawsuits filed in order to try to reverse this decision but they have not been successful.

This regulation also extended to adulterated versions of the ingredient and the FDA published specific guidance regarding that regulation in 2008. It states that “dietary supplements that contain ephedrine alkaloids are adulterated under section 402(f)(1)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342(f)(1)(A)). It is illegal to market an adulterated dietary supplement.” Therefore, even if this product claims to contain an altered version of ephedra, it would still be marketing selling an illegal substance.

Alternately, the product does not contain ephedra, but trademarked Thermo-Z is made of something else, instead. That would mean that the company has lied on its nutrition label, on which it specifically lists 25 milligrams of ephedra leaf extract. While this may mean that the product is less dangerous to consumers – assuming that a safer alternative was used – it still does not make the company any more trustworthy because it has lied on its label.

Overall, any licensed doctor would not recommend the use of Lipodrene Hardcore with Ephedra because it claims to contain an illegal ingredient, though it pretends that its version of this ingredient is somehow legal.

The weight loss market is brimming with products that contain fully legal ingredients that don’t cause confusion or risk leading to potentially dangerous side effects like heart attack and stroke. It is recommended that any substance that appears dubious in any way – as in this case – be avoided in favor of one of the many others that are readily available.

Yellow Devils are a nonprescription weight loss supplement that have been on the market for some time now. This product is manufactured by a company called American Generic Labs, which is one of a large number of supplement manufacturers located in Salt Lake City, Utah. That said, it’s also very important to point out that they contain a substance that has been banned by the FDA and the authorities in a large number of other countries: ephedra extract.

Despite the fact that ephedra has not been allowed in weight loss pills for many years in the United States and dozens of other countries around the world, Yellow Devils proudly proclaim that their pills contain 25 mg of its extract. Dieters should be aware that it is not legal to produce sell or purchase ephedra and that the reason behind that decision is that the ingredient has been linked with several deaths and even more instances of severe side effects.

On top of that, the ephedra in Yellow Devils has been combined with other stimulants. This on its own should be considered worrisome to anyone concerned about his or her health, but the issue becomes more powerful when looking at exactly what those stimulants are. Within each serving of capsules is 300 mg of caffeine. This is the same as drinking three cups of coffee all at the same time. That would cause side effects in many dieters, but it worsens when taking into consideration that this is not the only source of caffeine, as it is also present in the kola nut seed extract in this formulation.

On top of that, this product contains another stimulant called bitter orange fruit extract, which contains synephrine. Synephrine is not only a strong stimulant in its own right but it has also been deemed potentially dangerous when taken in combination with caffeine, of which there is a large amount within this pill. The FDA has issued a warning to dieters to caution them that the combination of synephrine and caffeine can increase the risk of severe side effects such as heart attack and stroke.

Before even purchasing this product, let alone taking it, it is extremely advisable to speak with a doctor as this could not only place a dieter in potential legal hot water, but it could also place his or her health in jeopardy. A licensed doctor will help to guide you to find a legal and safe alternative to this product.

ECA Xtreme is an ephedra based fat burner that claims to contain actual ephedra as well as caffeine and white willow extract (aspirin), which is the original ECA stack combination. From the outset, any dieter should be very hesitant before ever even considering this product, let alone buying it and using it. The reason is that its primary ingredient is a banned substance in the United States and many other countries. This makes it illegal to manufacture, sell, or purchase. A savvy consumer wouldn’t go near this with a ten foot pole.

Product testimonials range extremely broadly among those who have actually taken these pills. There are people who swear by ECA Xtreme and say that they found that it was very helpful in reducing weight, but there are also dieters who reported that they weren’t able to lose weight but instead suffered from a great deal of discomfort from side effects that range from migraines to diarrhea.

The product is distributed and manufactured by National Institute for Clinical Weight Loss, which is a division of N.U.G.. Inc. At the time of this review, the ingredients listed in this product were ephedra leaf extract (25 mg), kola nut extract (which contains 200 mg of caffeine), white willow bark, acacia rigidula, green tea extract, theobromine, phenylethylamine HCl, citrus aurantium extract (25 mg of synephrine), and chromium picolinate.

This list of ingredients clearly shows that there is a high likelihood of suffering from side effects when it comes to the use of this product. Not only does it contain an ingredient that is known for causing dangerous side effects and at least one death, but it is very high in additional stimulants on top of that. The caffeine from the kola nut, green tea extract and synephrine would be enough to cause unwanted side effects all on its own. Beyond that, the aspirin in this product could cause interactions with a number of other medical conditions and drugs.

Even if this was effective and it didn’t come with the additional risk of side effects from the rest of its ingredients, it would still be impossible to recommend a product such as ECA Xtreme, because of the sheer fact that it is an illegal substance and buying it could cause a consumer to put himself into some legal hot water. There are hundreds of other nonprescription products in this market so it is a much better idea to look for one that is safer and legal, instead.

Hydroxy Stac is a product put out by Energy Nutrition, which contains ephedra. The advertising claims that you will not find a better diet pill for losing weight because of the ephedra ingredient. Although ephedra has proven itself to be effective in helping people lose weight, it also has some potentially dangerous side effects. For this reason, products containing ephedra have been banned in a number of countries, including the US and Canada.

To take Hydroxy Stac according to its directions, you will need to take four capsules thirty minutes before you eat your breakfast in the morning, and then another four capsules thirty minutes before lunch and the same again before supper. That being said, dosages should never be greater than twelve capsules every day.

The benefits of Hydroxy Stac, according to the marketing materials, include an energy boost and an increase in thermogenesis (fat burning). Whether or not these benefits from ephedra and the other stimulants in Hydroxy Stac diet pills will actually be of any real benefit when all of the pros and cons of those ingredients are considered, has yet to be officially determined.

It is vital that you speak with your doctor before beginning any new diet program, including one that contains the use of the drug Hydroxy Stac and its ephedra ingredients. He or she will be able to let you know whether or not this product is safe for your use as well as whether or not it is the best possible solution to your weight loss efforts. If you do start taking the drug and you begin experiencing severe headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, a rapid heartbeat, or other unpleasant symptoms, you should also speak with your doctor to ensure that you are not putting your health in danger.

It’s recommended that when you first start taking the drug, you take less than the maximum dose to be able to test your body’s ability to tolerate the product. Then, if you find that you need to take more to achieve the desired results, you can gradually increase your dosage to the recommended amount. Remember that as you are taking this drug, it is very important not to take any other drug (either over the counter or prescription) unless both your doctor and pharmacist are aware that you are taking every one of the products. This will help to minimize side effects and prevent drug conflicts.
