Default Looking for a product banned by the FDA

I was hoping you guys might help (or at least ridicule me for a few pages). I am looking for Hydroxycut with ephedra. Ephedra apparently banned by the FDA and now I can't find it anywhere. I've tried the ephedra fee version and its just not the same.

If anyone knows where I could get my hands on some it would very highly appreciated. And yes I have searched online. A lot.

Screw hydroxycut, just goto a run down gastation, they will be selling tabs of ephedra leftover from before the ban, buy them all at half the price.

No [censored]. I almost crapped my pants when I was in the middle of Idaho at 4am and a Pocatello gas station was selling scads of ephedra. The girl behind the counter said "That stuff is illegal?"

The site says Vaspro is for the temporary relief of shortness of breath, tightness of chest, and wheezing. Helps loosen mucus and thin bronchial secretions to drain bronchial tubes and make cough more productive.

Or is that just made up as a legitimate use?

It's a legit use of ephedra, and it has guaifenesin in it as well. You can look up the specific side-effects of guaifenesin if you are concerned. Ephedra is ephedra, though - regardless of what the bottle says the recommended usage is, all that matters is active ingredients and how many miligrams of each.

Read the user reviews on some of the sites and you'll see that most people are taking it for energy or wieght loss, but some report that it helps with asthma as well.

So basically any kind of ephedra will do? Because I know hydroxycut also ingredients had like guarana and caffine - will just ephedra produce similar results.

thanks for the posts btw

You can still buy it. Lipodrene is one product that contains ephedra.

According to people in the know, the magic formula seems to caffeine, ephedra, and aspirin. Do some research online and I'm sure you find somewhere that has the recommended dosage of each. Usually [censored] like hydroxycut just takes a handful of active ingredients that are known to work, mixes it with some crap that does nothing, and then sells it for huge markup. It's like that acne treatment that p. diddy pimps in the informercials. It's just a combination of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Sure, it works pretty well, but if you just buy the ingredients seperately it'll work just as well and cost much, much less.
