Ephedra Benefits

Yes, when used in moderate doses, ephedra can work towards fat-loss and weight-loss, but we do not recommend it to anyone since the risks of the adverse affects outweigh the benefits:

• In this 6-month placebo-controlled trial, herbal ephedra/caffeine (90/192 mg/day) promoted body weight and body fat reduction and improved blood lipids without significant adverse events.
• Caffeine and herbal ephedra, at doses of 150 mg and 20 mg (ephedrine), respectively, result in a significant elevation in resting energy expenditure, heart rate and blood pressure. Although significant, the increase in energy expenditure is negligible in terms of weight loss.

Most studies are on caffeine + ephedrine extract and not these ephedra supplements. If you are an elite, trained, healthy athlete, we recommend considering using caffeine and ephedrine together and not these pills. See the ephedrine studies for more information.
