I just found out the other day that there will be nothing w/ Ephedra on the market anymore.

Everyone is pulling all ephedra based products off the shelves.

Does anyone know how long ago this was decided?

I must have missed the news or something.

Personally, i am glad! Now the next time i need to go to the store and look for "help" i won't have to search for ephedra free stuff. I can't take it, it actually makes me feel sick. As for the people who will miss it, i'm sorrry. The stuff must really be bad for you, huh?------------Mtn.

Ha, ha Sinn! When I read the topic........."I Just found Out" I thought you were going to tell us you were pregnant!!!!!!! O well, better luck next time!!!

I sorta figured that they were going to ban Ephedra based products. The reason for this was that our local market handles a lot of scratch and dent products and so forth. I saw just last week that they had bottles of Metabolife and Xenedrine RFA-1 For $1.65 a bottle! Absolutely no kidding! And they weren't damaged or beyond expiration. They were also normal sized bottles- not trial sized. I also did a little searching out of curiosity the other day and the Xenedrine site no longer sells the RFA formula. So, I'm not surprised!
