Ephedrine for Weight Loss
Ephedrine for Weight Loss Ephedrine has been found to boost the body's thermogenesis (fat burning) efficiency. It aids in the activation of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and inhibits its reuptake. This allows norepinephrine to activate receptors in the body continuously, allowing fat cell "flood gates" to open and facilitating fat loss, resulting in weight loss. Ephedrine not only accelerates weight loss but also helps athletes maintain muscle mass, making it an excellent dieting aid for athletes. A new meta-analysis presented in The Journal of the American Medical Association provides the most systematic look at ephedrine for weight loss. The US Department of Health and Human Services commissioned this meta-analysis. It looked at 44 randomized trials on the use of ephedrine for weight loss and found that it improved weight loss by 1.3 pounds a month on average compared to placebo.
