Review
Summary |
There are many products that keep popping up with the recent lift on the banned ingredient Ephdera. Extreme Power Plus is similar to other products we have reviewed and contains not only Ephedra, but Green Tea which is a form of caffeine. The legislation, safety and research of these newly released products, which usually do not contain natural appetite suppressants, are on going.

| Primary Ingredients |
|
Extreme Power Plus contains Ephedra, Green Tea and additional ingredients.
* Ephedra (MaHuang) - alkaloids are amphetamine-like compounds with potentially powerful stimulant effects on the nervous system and heart. Ephedra is one of the most dangerous of the weightless dietary supplements. Over 800 injuries have been reported by users and doctors to the FDA and various state medical bodies, including more than 50 deaths. Most of these cases involve heart attacks or high blood pressure, leading to bleeding in the brain or stroke.
* Green Tea - contains the stimulant, caffeine. Excessive caffeine is known to cause restlessness and/or insomnia. Also, people taking aspirin or blood thinning medications should consult their doctor before taking green tea extracts, because green tea extracts may interfere with blood clotting. More studies are still needed to determine if green tea extracts are truly beneficial for weight loss.
|
| Additional Ingredients |
|
* Garcinia Cambogia – is used in Indian traditional remedies for edema, delayed menstruation, constipation and intestinal parasites. It is also used for rheumatism and bowel complaints widely sold as a component in dietary supplements.

| Final Thoughts |
As mentioned in other reviews, the future availability of Ephedra in the United States is undetermined. Considering Ephedra’s safety record, research suggests in the meantime, people with high blood pressure or heart disease should still steer clear of all products containing Ephedra. If people do decide to use Ephedra anyway, they should have their blood pressure monitored regularly by a health care professional. Extreme Power Plus additionally contains basic caffeine, in the form of Green Tea, which may exacerbate preexisting conditions in some users. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND EXTREME POWER PLUS
