Ephedrine was never banned as far as I know. Ephedra was, and still is, banned. You can get Ephedrine HCL at online supplement stores, though there is a limit to how many you can get.
yes just watch out because lots of fat burners say 25mg ephedra but what they do now is just put 25mg ephedra extract where the old formulas had 300mg extract to contain 25mg ephedra alkaloids which is the active part of the ephedra. They do this to fool u since they cant have that much ephedra since the ban, and lots I mean lots of companies are doing it, so if it doesnt say anything about ephedrine alkaloids its junk, unless its ephedrine hcl which is synthetic not herbal.
