In order to lose weight quickly, I was told to take a supplement containing ephedra. Does it work?
Yes, but don’t use it. While ephedra (derivative of the medicinal herb, ma huang) speeds up metabolism, it also speeds up blood pressure and heart rate. This, obviously, is not good for people with hypertension. But even people without any health conditions should never consume anything that can eventually lead to heart problems. Stay with the healthiest weight-loss options of exercise and proper nutrition. Not only would these approaches help you to lose weight, but they would help you to live longer and healthier.
