On April 14, a federal Judge in Utah reversed the short-lived ban on Ephedra. Also known by its Chinese name "Ma-huang", ephedra burns fat while you sleep and gives you the energy of a teenager. The Ma-Huang supplement is now back on the market.

It's been used safely worldwide for over 2,000 years. Millions of men and women have declared it the world's most effective fat burner.

In 1993, it became popular in the U.S. too. Overweight folks were losing 5-8 pounds per week, without dieting, and that was unheard of at the time. Many common diet pills were not being used as much. Ephedra products were the most effective for many that were having problems losing weight, even though there were many other so called fatburners on the market.

But this unparalleled weight loss concerned some people. Ephedra was so powerful, its safety was questioned. When the controversy peaked in 2004, ephedrine was taken off the shelves for further testing.

Ephedra (also known as Ma huang, Chinese Ephedra and epitonin) is the worlds oldest medicine. The Chinese discovered ephedra more than 5000 years ago. Research has shown that ephedra increases metabolism and helps promote weight loss, relaxes the air passages in the lungs to help treat asthma and cough, promotes perspiration to help a person recover from a minor cold and helps promote urination to help relieve edema.
Ephedra has been widely researched for its thermogenic (fat burning) properties. Research has show that ephedra helps promote the loss of fat while helping spare lean muscle tissue, a highly sought-after property that prescription diet medications still have not been able to reproduce.

Since then, it's gone through rigorous tests – and passed with flying colors. According to last month's ruling in Utah, there was never any basis for banning doses of 10 milligrams or less. As a result, ephedra has once again been approved for public consumption.
