Epedra IS ma huang, by the way.
The products in this "natural speed category" are mostly Ephedra based. Ephedra (ma huang) contains ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine. These ephedra-alkaloids are chemically close to amphetamine (speed) and meth-amphetamine (ice, crystal). Warning! The herbal speed products in this section should not be used when taking MAO-inhibitors, anti-depressants or ephedrine containing prescription drugs. Persons with a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes a prostate disorder or Phenylketonurica should not take ephedra or ephedrine... Do not combine these herbal energizers with heavy physical exercise. See also ephedra foliage and ephedra powder ( 0108 and 0109 ) in the Psychoactive Herbs section.
