Additional Consumer Success Stories

I have taken products with Ephedra in them for over 15 years. From the first moment it was love at first bite. I lost weight. I had energy. I didn't crave all the sugar I normally did and it is natural. What more could you ask for? Okay, put it in the drinking water! Well, then I'll keep taking my [Ephedra dietary supplement]. Whatever it takes fight for EPHEDRA! Sincerely with all 120 pounds of me,

Do I ever have a story for you! Actually I have two stories. First, I'll tell you about my husband. He is 69 yrs old, in August his weight was 220 lbs, and he is 5'9 1/2" tall. He has had this weight for many years, except for an occasional weight loss with [other dieting methods], etc. He lost, but didn't keep it off. In August we started with a new family doctor in Florida. He was the second doctor that had told him to lose weight. The difference was that this doctor had a solution to his need to lose weight. He sold him a product with Ephedra in it, he started taking it and in 3 months lost 52 lbs. I also want to stress he started using the treadmill 6 days a week. He has more energy than he ever has had, he feels great. He is still working full time and has energy left when he comes home at the end of a busy day. He went from a 44-46 suit to a 41, waist was 36-38 and now is 32. He looks fabulous, and continues to watch what he eats, take Ephedra and enjoy life! (and exercise too!) Now my story. I am 57 yr old, and have always had 20-30 lbs that I lost and gained again, through just about everything that was available to use or do. I always gained it back again. After my husband started losing, I wanted to take it also, but even a cup of coffee or coke sets my heart into a faster pace. I do not have any heart problems, just react to the caffeine. I took it one day, and did not have the racing heart. I continued to take it, and lost 27 lbs in about 2 1/2 months. I am 5'6", weighted 155 wore a size 10-12 dress and now wear a 6 dress or slacks and weigh 128. I am truly delighted with being able, for the first time in my life, to actually be "in control" of my weight by diet, exercise and Ephedra. We continue to take Ephedra, 22 mg per day, for 3 months, then go off of it for 1 week, then back on. We are so very thankful for the help our new family doctor had for us.

I have a 2, 3, and 4 year old child. After the birth of my youngest I knew I needed to drop that 40 lbs of weight that had attached itself to me. I took Ephedrine/caffeine combo, and I have been stuck on 100 lbs for almost 2 years now. I come from a long line of overweight people. I was assuming I was "genetically doomed," not at all I am almost 30, and look and feel great. (Not to mention the energy I get to keep up with my kids.)

In April 1998 during spring break my daughter took some photos of me on the beach and when we got home I got the film developed and was looking at the photos while sitting in the doctors office waiting to get check for an annual physical. When I came across a picture of me in a bathing suit I wanted to cry, because this was the first time in a long time I realized that I really had a weight problem. Then I stepped on the scales and instead of 290 like it says on my drives license it was 389 pounds. A doctor friend got me started on an [Ephedra dietary supplement] and I lost 27 pounds in the first month and in my first 4 months on the product I lost 89 pounds on it. I have taken it since then and have just recently started back on it.

What a change I have used products with Ephedra now for over 1 1/2 years with no difficulties. I have enjoyed weight loss and energy as I have read that many others have enjoyed. In the past I was one of the users of Phen-fen yet I did not have the success with that product that I have had with [Ephedra dietary supplements]. Not only have I taken the weight off that was my goal, I have kept it off now over 1 1/2 years. I am still enjoying the best health I have felt for a very long time. What a change.

I started using an [Ephedra dietary supplement] two years ago. After five years of struggling to lose weight after the birth of my second child, I needed something that would give me more energy as well as help to get rid of those unwanted pounds! In four months I lost 27 pounds, 57 inches, 12% body fat and 6 sizes! I feel better than ever before and I have more energy than I did in high school! For the first time in my life, I have been able to lose the weight and KEEP IT OFF!

I started using the [Ephedra dietary supplement] by [manufacturer] after I finished nursing and my child was 7 months old. I needed quick energy to keep up with working 40 hrs a week and having a new baby. I am a vitamin manager in a health food store as well as a pharmacy technician so I am aware of proper dosages. I have no serious health problems and know that this product can be used safely if taken properly by persons with no health problems. Anyway, 3 months later of only taking 1 pill a day about 3x a week I have lost over 20 lbs with no change in lifestyle, exercise or eating habits. It does decrease your appetite. I have never had any ill effects of Ephedra and think that most people with problems either take it incorrectly or have health issues that interact with Ephedra.

For most of my adult life I weighed between 115-120 pounds, after taking some medication I gained over 20 pounds and I was very unhappy with my new size. I stayed at this weight for several years, I tried a church based nutrition program, exercise, walking and joined a ladies fitness center and just couldn't budge the weight down no matter what I tried. This went on for several years. I am a Registered Nurse and I researched Ephedra and decided to try it. I have never had high blood pressure or heart trouble so I felt it was safe for me. I started out taking [Ephedra dietary supplement] in January 2002, I started taking 1 pill per day then 2 then 3, this product has a low dose of Ephedra in it, then I went to the store and purchased [Ephedra dietary supplement] and began taking 1 of those a day then increased it to 2 a day, usually both at the same time in the morning, I was full of energy and not hungry at all. I also started drinking about 3 liters of water a day. My friends say it is all of the trips to the bathroom that caused me to lose the weight! I switched to [Ephedra dietary supplement] when I found them because they are capsules and I find them much easier to swallow than the other pills. The middle of November 2001 I weighed 141 pounds, I now weigh 117 pounds have went from size 10 or 12 pants down to a junior 5. What a good feeling that is! I have also changed my eating habits, I no longer snack in the evenings when I am on the computer and I eat small meals and eat more protein and less carbs. If I go out to a restaurant, I only eat about half of my meal and bring the rest home for the next day. I do not deny myself any foods, I still eat cookies and chocolate (what woman can live without it?) but only small amounts and not every day. This plan has worked great for me and I have not had any side effects from the Ephedra. It does need to be used with caution and should not be used by those with known risk factors. I am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2 new swimsuits!

I have used a number of [Ephedra dietary supplements] over the last couple years and have had great results (losing bodyfat) without any complications. I believe Ma Huang is safe if used as suggested

In 1997 I found out I had to lose weight. At the time I weighed 253 lbs. It seemed nothing I did would take the weight off. I signed up with a nutritional wellness company and started on a product that did not contain Ma Huang (Ephedra) and it took me almost 2 years to lose 30 lbs. I had plateaued and even though I continued to take the product, could not lose all the weight I wanted. In Jan 2001 the company introduced their newest [Ephedra dietary supplement] product and I started on it immediately. It contained Ma Huang (Ephedra) and 18 other ingredients that started me losing the weight very quickly. The product did not make me nervous or jittery as other people had warned me, but gave me tremendous amounts of energy as well as curbing my appetite. I lost 36 lbs on the [Ephedra dietary supplement] product in only 4 & _ months. Went from a tight 38î jean to a comfortable 33î jean and from an XXXL shirt to a XL. I even lost 2 shoe sizes. My friends could not believe it, so I now wear my before and after picture on a lanyard around my neck to prove just how big I was. This product was a Godsend and now Iíve lost 66 lbs.

I have used ephedra with great results my fat loss increased when I started taking the ephedra .I have heard of a lot of people who get jittery or canít sleep when taking ephedra I have had none of those side effects. And I would recommend it to people on a regular diet and exercise program who would like to increase there fat burning potential .I have competed on the body for life challenge and have gotten great results with the ephedra and a diet and exercise program including cardio. What people need to know is ephedra is not a miracle supplement that you can take and just sit around doing nothing. It is an added bonus to an existing diet and exercise program to see what you can do in 12 weeks.
