This means a person might not
know how much ephedrine is in
the particular supplement they are
taking, or even if a false drug is
being substituted, he said.
Although there is no long term
data for the effects the drug has
on the nervous system or weight
loss, using pills for weight control
is not ideal, Wellman said.
’’You must get off of it eventu
ally, and you may gain the weight
back,” he said.
Rhonda Rahn, health educator
of nutrition at the A.P. Beutel
Health Center, said she has heard
from various students who are
concerned about friends who are
taking Metabolite and other simi
lar weight loss pills.
She said some students are
complaining that they cannot stop
shaking or get to sleep at night
when taking the ephedrine-based
pills. Research has found prob
lems such as heart attacks and
strokes in otherwise healthy 20-
year-olds who take ephedrine.
Rahn said.
While some health issues and
deaths stem from people taking
ephedrine in excess, it is also not
the most effective tool for weight
loss, health experts say. The best
way to lose weight is to eat a
proper diet and exercise regularly.
"I absolutely promote exercise
and eating healthy," Rahn said.
Wellman hopes his investiga
tion will force the FDA to be
more aware of regulation con
cerning herbal weight loss sup
plements.
