Ma Huang, also known as ephedrine is an herbal form of the powerful stimulant Ephedrine and can be found on the dry rocky slopes of Asia. Ephedra has become a popular stimulant that has proven its abilities to stimulate fat burning by increasing the rate of caloric expenditure and also for its appetite suppressing qualities. Another side effect of this herb is its ability to increase a persons short term energy levels by activating the central nervous system.
Many of the people who have used Ma Huang have reported extreme fat loss as well as increased energy. The user will usually have a higher body temperature, faster metabolism, increased heart rate, and a curbed appetite. All of which will help burn calories. When Ma Huang hit the market as a thermogenic, its popularity shot through the roof. It was a product that had proven to work time and time again with minimal visible side effects. When Ma Huang is used for energy as well as for fat loss, studies showed that 150 to 300mg 2-3 times a day of Ephedra or Ma Huang could be used. They should be taken prior to meals (not dinner) and /or 30minutes before exercise. Ma Huang affects everyone differently and should be taken at a lower dose when first trying to determine a dose that will work for you. Taking Ma Huang close to bedtime is not a good idea as it may cause you not to sleep.
Ma Huang is used in combination with caffeine (guarana) and aspirin (willow bark) to create a power thermogenic stack. When taking these products together it is not wise to use them for more than 8 weeks on, followed by 2-4 weeks off and is not recommended that you take them for long-time use. Because of the potent side affects of Ma Huang, which include; increased heart rate and blood pressure, anxiety, jitters, irritability, insomnia, and heart palpitations, it is wise to speak with a doctor before using Ma Huang.
