Why is Metabolife Still Being Sold?
Although evidence has shown Metabolife to be potentially dangerous, and even fatal, it is still being sold because the FDA has little control over herbal supplements. The FDA has proposed limiting doses to no more than 24 milligrams ephedra per day (8 milligrams per dose), though, and advises against using ephedra supplements for more than 7 days at a time. However, this proposal is in limbo due to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DESHA).
