50+ Seeds- Ephedra Sinica Plant Seeds For Planting - Seeds of the Gods

Use of Ephedra The stalk of the herb Ephedra Sinica (also known as ma huang) contains an active compound called ephedrine. The effects of ephedrine are similar to caffeine, but ephedrine is even stronger. Ephedrine raises your heartbeat quite intensely, which causes your blood pressure to rise. In this way, ephedrine provides a rush of energy and helps your body to burn body fats. Ephedrine makes you feel awake, clear-minded and active. Ephedrine is often added to dietary supplements that help you to lose weight (so-called stackers). Its energizing effect also makes it a popular party drug. Recently, ephedrine has become more controversial: it is banned in high doses both in the Netherlands and the United States. Cultivating the plant Ephedrine Sinica itself is still legal in most countries, as long as it’s not used for extracting the active substances it contains.
