Why can’t I get ephedra diet pills anymore, you ask? The FDA and lawsuits that sent companies into bankruptcy that manufactured ephedra products for weight loss. The old news is the FDA banned ephedra and any type of product that contains ephedra a while back and most of the companies that made products like Stacker 2 with ephedra have gone bankrupt from lawsuits.

Don’t go looking at your local convenience store or Target for ephedra products because they don’t want to risk the threat of lawsuits. Companies can’t get insurance to cover sales of ephedra diet products and simply don’t want the associated hassles despite the continued demand for ephedra.

Did ephedra work? Diet pills with ephedra were long ago proven many times by scientific evaluation and studies to induce fat loss. Ephedrine was the main chemical found in ephedra that was proven to work. Ephedrine when used properly will stimulate the body to directly burn extra fat beyond what the body might normally do. The reason so many people are still looking for ephedra is just one small indication that these weight loss products were effective.

You just want to get Stacker 2 ephedra in the original bright yellow bottle. You don’t want any of these products that have never been proven to work.

More than one scientific study proved multiple times that ephedra combined with caffeine worked to burn fat. The main ingredient in herbal ephedra that performed the fat loss function was ephedrine. When used in high enough concentration over a long enough period of time the body will burn off more fat for energy than it normally does. Actual weight loss occurs because of several factors such as increasing energy expenditure and appetite suppression.

Despite the fact that ephedra diet pills of all brands meant rapid sales and massive profits, it is no longer worth the risk of a lawsuit. Also, insurance companies will not authorize the big chain stores to sell these problem ephedra products for the same reason of the threat of being sued by someone that wants to blame a company for their own incompetence.

Why can’t I get ephedra products at all, you ask? The Federal Drug Agency and multiple lawsuits. The old news is the FDA banned ephedra and any type of ephedra products a while back and most of the companies that made products like Stacker 2 with ephedra have gone bankrupt from lawsuits.
