Since 1994, the FDA has been receiving reports on the adverse effects of Ephedra, an herb found in numerous dietary supplements like Metabolife and Hydroxycut. Known also by it's Chinese name, "ma huang," the herb is thought to accelerate weight loss and enhance athletic performance.
Voluntary reports to the FDA confirm that there have been incidents of serious injuries linked to the use of Ephedra/Ephedrine including hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, strokes, seizures, and psychological problems such as anxiety and personality disorders. Companies are discontinuing their use of Ephedra in weight loss products, and are even advertising "Ephedra-free" as a selling point for the same products that once boasted the herb's presence.
If you used an Ephedra-containing product, such as Stacker 3, Xenadrine, Metabolife, Hydroxycut, or any other Ephedra-containing supplement, and have suffered any of the injuries mentioned, please obtain a Free Consultation by submitting our online form, or by calling 1-800-543-9859.
