Some herbal products contain banned substances. For example, the plant Ma Huang (Chinese Ephedra) contains the banned drug ephedrine. Therefore, products containing Ma Huang are banned. Extreme caution should be taken when using nutritional supplements and/or herbal products as they may contain banned substances not shown in the list of ingredients. The Agency will not guarantee any nutritional supplement. All supplements are taken at the athlete’s own risk. For more information click here.
