The presence of ephedrine alkaloids makes EphBurn 25 unapproved by the FDA. Ephedrine alkaloids work by increasing the activity of noradrenaline or adrenergic receptors and have been linked to high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, nerve damage, muscle injury, psychosis and memory loss. Ephedrine has been blamed for several deaths, heart attacks, strokes and seizures. Users have been advised to cease using the product immediately and to contact Brand New Energy if health problems are experienced. | |
