Avoid Diet Aids and SupplementsPills, herbs, powders, drinks and dietary supplements that contain compounds of ephedra or Chinese herb Ma Huang are dangerous to health.
They make false claims of aiding weight loss, increasing energy and improving athletic performance.
They are food dyes, starch fillers and combination of herbs that are mixed with vitamins and minerals.
The side effects associated with Ephedra and similar compounds include increased B.P.
and heart rate, insomnia, dementia, psychosis, uterine contraction, heart ailments and dizziness and in severe cases even death.
Compounds that contain Ephedra are – Ephedrine, Ma Huang, Natural Ecstasy, Pinellia, Sea Grape, and Sida Cord folia, Yellow Astringent, Yellow Horse and Zhong Ma Huang.
Dietary Aids that claim that they are “fat builders” and “muscle builders” are bogus. They contain substances that can damage kidneys, have laxative-effect contain caffeine that causes diarrhea, insomnia, nervousness, sweating and anxiety. In other words there is no safe diet-pills.
