WHAT IS MA HUANG?
The Ma Huang herb, otherwise known as Ephedra
Sinica, was originally discovered in China hundreds
of years ago. It contains a stimulant that mimics the
effects of adrenaline in the human body, thus promoting
weight loss.
It has also been used to treat everything from the common
cold to chronic coughs and asthma as well as
decongestion and low blood pressure. It has been used in
Oriental medicine as an ingredient in teas and other
medicinal powders.
The active chemical alkaloids in Ma Huang are Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine – both of
which have been used as bronchodilators and for weight
loss results. However, of the two, Ephedrine Alkaloids are
more effective at promoting fat burning than Pseudoephedrine
Alkaloids.
When used as a dietary supplement, ma huang is
typically prepared by drying the stems and leaves of the
plant. The dried ephedra sinica is then sold as-is or ground into a powder and
sold in this form.
Research suggests that the dried extracts are much more
potent as they contain a higher proportion of three active pure ingredients -
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine.
These three stimulants then cause an increase in the body’s heart rate and blood pressure, leading to a process known as thermogenesis. In this process, additional fat and sugar stored
in the cells are released to increase the body’s core
temperature.
This results in a natural boost to the metabolism and allows
to body to output more energy without additional
exercise.
The amount of ma huang extract that you consume as
part of your weight loss program depends on the amount of ephedrine HCL
contained in your source of ephedra.
As this is the most powerful weight loss ingredient in the
ma huang plant, this supplement should
determine your ephedra dosage.
According to the University of Pittsburgh, one should not
consume in excess of 25 mg of Ephedrine Hydrochloride
at any given time. In a 24 hour period, this dose should not amount to more than 100
mg of pure ephedrine alkaloid.
The biggest concern when using ma huang or ephedra
plant extract is that it is difficult to determine exactly
how much ephedrine is extracted from the herb.
Because of this, a dose of 25 mg of ephedrine from ephedra can actually contain much more
or much less of the alkaloid. This can result in your either
consuming too little ephedrine to create sufficient weight loss results or consuming an unsafe
overdose of ephedra.
Nowadays, more people use ephedrine HCL that has been synthesized in a lab to ensure
the product is safe and properly dosed. There is no difference in the potency of ephedrine that is
chemically produced versus ephedrine that is derived from
the ma huang plant.
One of the most definitive studies in favor of ma huang and ephedra as weight loss
supplements was conducted by the Journal of American Medical Associations in the
year 2003.
In a study of multiple double-blind clinical trials, the
journal concludes that ma huang does produce
significant short-term weight loss results.
These results can add up to 1.4 pounds of additional fat
burned in a month when using ma huang, or almost 16 pounds over the course of a
year.
Ma Huang may cause side effects if not used according to proper dosage guidelines.
These side effects can include irritability, difficulty sleeping,
headache symptoms, restlessness, heartburn and increased blood presume.
In more severe cases, individuals have experienced irregular
heartbeat, hyperthermia, seizures, and even strokes. It should not be
used by anyone suffering from diabetes, insomnia, anorexia,
glaucoma, kidney disease, liver disease, or with pre-existing heart
conditions.
Ephedra may interact with other medications you are currently taking and you
should seek doctor advice before you begin using it to
determine if there will be any conflicts.
Even though ma huang has been proven effective as a
weight loss supplement, the FDA has banned ephedra
sinica extract products because there is little quality control in supplements that are derived directly from the
plant.
These supplements can sometimes include impurities ranging from other alkaloids
and drugs to toxic metals that you should not ingest. But
there are safer ways to achieve weight loss using
synthesized pure ephedrine HCL.
If you want to buy ma huang online, we instead suggest that you choose to legally purchase
safe and effective Ephedrine HCL. Ephedrine Hydrochloride is legal to purchase online in 8 mg doses
when it is marketed as a bronchodilator.
As the active ingredient in Ma Huang, Ephedrine is the
alkaloid in the ephedra plant that actually produces weight
loss and calorie burning results.
By choosing to look for ephedrine for sale rather
than ma huang for sale, you will allow yourself to achieve the same weight loss results
without suffering any adverse ephedra side effects.
