FDA informed consumers and healthcare professionals that ALL dietary
supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids are ILLEGAL to market in the
United States. Dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids,
REGARDLESS OF THE DOSAGE, are considered adulterated and pose an
unreasonable risk of illness or injury to users, especially those
suffering from heart disease and high blood pressure. FDA conducted an
exhaustive evaluation of relevant scientific data evidence on ephedrine
alkaloids before issuing this decision in a final rule in 2004. On
August 17, 2006, a Court of Appeals ruling upheld this final rule,
reversing an earlier decision by the District Court of Utah.
