Does Ma Huang Work?

There is some evidence that ma huang may cause modest weight loss for a short period of time (about one pound or so per month). However the FDA banned the diet pill in 2004 due to the potentially dangerous side effects of the drug (such as heart attacks, strokes, and seizures). If you are considering taking the weight loss pill, you should ask yourself if risking your health is worth losing a few pounds.

Does Ma Huang Work for Weight Loss?

Ma huang (also known as ma huang) is an herbal supplement that was very popular as a weight loss aid, until it was banned by the FDA in 2004 due to safety concerns. There is some evidence that shows ma huang may actually be effective for short-term, modest weight loss. However, the risks of taking ma huang greatly outweigh any possible benefits of weight loss.

Ma Huang and Weight Loss

Small studies have suggested that ma huang may help people lose weight. However, these studies generally showed that ma huang only caused modest weight loss (typically a pound or so per month), and no long-term studies were performed. There is also some evidence that people may develop a tolerance to the effects of ma huang. This means that a dose that initially works may stop working. This could possibly lead to ma huang abuse or dependence if you keep increasing the dose to achieve the desired results.
Ma huang is a stimulant and can cause dangerous stimulant side effects, such as heart attacks, strokes, or seizures. The FDA determined that the risk to the general public was great enough that ma huang needed to be banned from the market. Unfortunately, ma huang is still available online (from foreign countries or from unscrupulous local manufacturers or sellers). It is important to understand that the potential benefits of taking ma huang are small (probably just a few pounds of weight loss), and the risks are great.
