Original brand name diet pills with ephedra that used to be so popular are no longer available and have not been since 2004 when the FDA made ephedra illegal. This has not stopped the interest or popularity of these ephedra products as shown by the number of searches each month for them.

Ephedra Fact: If someone tries to sell you a fat burner made from a plant other than Ephedra sinica you are not getting the the correct kind of ephedra.

Even though companies like Stacker are still around they no longer make the brand name, Stacker 2, that contained ephedra. All the popular brands stopped making ephedra diet pills way back in 2004 when ephedra was made illegal by the FDA.

Fat Loss Fact: A recent study showed that when you lose 10% of your bodyweight, your metabolism drops by 15%, making it harder to lose more weight. Ephedra can keep your metabolism raised.

The following brand names of fat burners that contained ephedra are no longer available. Metabolife 356, Hydroxycut with ephedra, Stacker 2 with ephedra, Stacker 3 with ephedra, or Xenadrine RFA-1.

So which would you choose? A $60 weight loss drug that requires a prescription or a $20 herbal you could get anywhere at anytime and would do the same job or an even better job at helping you to lose weight. Of course you would choose the cheap $20 ephedra diet pill. That was why ephedra was run out of town on a rail by the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA.

Fat Loss Fact: Muscle is the best fat and calorie burner. Ephedra preserves muscle which is why bodybuilders loved ephedra.

The FDA ignored certain facts and reports so that they could make ephedra look as dangerous as possible. They really never wanted to take an honest look at ephedra, they just wanted to make sure it was removed from the market at any cost.

Millions of people loved what ephedra did for their bodies and never experienced problems with the herb. But now that it is no longer available plenty of people are experiencing problems from being overweight.
