    Ephedra is back!

    SALT LAKE CITY - A federal judge Thursday struck down the FDA ban on ephedra, the once-popular weight-loss aid that was yanked from the market after it was linked to dozens of deaths.

    The judge ruled in favor of a Utah company that challenged the Food and Drug Administration's ban. Utah-based Nutraceutical claimed in its lawsuit that ephedra "has been safely consumed" for hundreds of years.

    Supplements that included ephedra have been widely used for weight loss and bodybuilding, but have linked to 155 deaths, including that of Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Steve Bechler. The FDA ordered the substance off the market in April 2004.

    Judge Tena Campbell's ruling sends the matter back to the FDA "for further rulemaking consistent with the court's opinion" and keeps the agency from enforcement action against the companies.

    FDA officials did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

    Company president Bruce Hough said the decision is about "protecting the public's access to safe and effective dietary supplements."

    Have any of you tried Bronkaid? It has 25mg of Ephedrine sulfate per cap. You can find it at almost any pharmacy on the shelf, its what I've been using in my ECA stack and everything has been going great.

    Cumberland Farms Sells EPHEDRINE behind the counter

    This convenience store in NY sells Ephedrine behind the counter 36 pills for 5.99, all you have to do is ask for it. They keep it stocked for truck drivers.
    FYI

    My friend works at a vitamin place and was telling me that ephedra was being used again. She knows her stuff, so i guess its true.
