Weight Loss Product Review: Personal Experiences with Ephedra

Lipodrene with Ephedra

I'll start out by saying that the specific product I am reviewing is the diet pill Lipodrene. This company does offer an ephedra free version of the pill, but the weight loss effects are no where near as effective. I have done extensive research on several diet pills at various web sites and have found that there is one product that they all have in common amongst the thousands of weight loss items available. It was made even more desirable once the FDA banned it. The product is ephedra, which is the key component of the famous ECA stack (Ephedra, Caffeine, and Aspirin).

Lipodrene offers a healthy 25 mg dosage of ephedra per bitter tasting dime sized yellow pill. It also conveniently contains caffeine as well, which is a key component to support the desired effects of the ephedra, which is weight loss. The key is "thermogenics." Simply put, Lipodrene is a thermogenic which raises the body's core temperature so that more calories are burned even when resting. I noticed this effect and have felt "clammy" while on the product. I'm not talking about a post-cardio routine sweat, I'm talking about a feverish and unhealthy feeling sweat. This is not the worst of the side effects, though, and is bearable considering the fat burning qualities of the product.

Ephedra will raise your heart rate. My heart raced and palpitated throughout the day (and night). I was a little nervous to exercise because I thought I might have a heart attack if I pushed my heart any further than the Lipodrene already was, but I found that cardio was a lot more enjoyable on the Lipodrene. I noticed that all that jittery energy I got from the ephedra and caffeine really pushed my cardio performance. This nervous energy (there are shakes involved, especially in the hands) lasted throughout the entire day, and unfortunately well into the night.
