That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Ephedrine was banned by the FDA in February 2004 because of its potential health risks. Ephedrine is a stimulant that was commonly used in dietary supplements for weight loss and increased energy. However, it was found to be associated with serious side effects such as heart attacks, strokes, and even death. The FDA determined that the risks outweighed the potential benefits and therefore banned the use of ephedrine in dietary supplements.
