Is ephedra extract the same as ephedra?
My research has shown that ephedra extract is a derivative of the plant that has had the alkaloids removed. It is my understanding that the ephedra extract is not as strong as the alkaloids and is also legal in all 50 states. It was ephedra alkaloids that were banned in some states, although many states later reversed that decision. Ephedra Extract is a scam. You might as well go for Ephedra Free. The real ephedra has alkaloids. They are not illegal as long as it is used for nasal decongestion or as bronchodilators. People use it to lose weight or to gain extra energy too. However, they may have harmful side effects. Usually Ephedra Extract comes from plants like Ephedra Viridis or Nevadensis, those does not contain a certain Alkaloid that contains Ephedrine which is very effective for weight loss. Ephedra Sinica or Sida Cordifolia are 2 other Ephedra Plants both containing Alkaloids and therefore they are considered to be "real" Ephedra.
