I was listening to a drug expert on a radio show and he said that people taking larger doses of Ma Huang can experience psychosis and similar side effects to amphetamines.

I have been told that Ma Huang, if taken on a regular basis is detrimental to a person's health, as an accumulation of ma huang extract in the body is likely to induce death. And that is the reason why some countries have it banned. However, I believe it is legal in the U.S. as it does not have immediate effects on the body.

I took the TwinLab product Ripped Fuel that contains Ma Huang. I have experienced psychosis before taking this metabolic enhancer supplement. However, after about 6 days of taking the maximum recommended dosage, I experienced psychosis. There is almost doubt in my mind it was because of Ma Huang. It also caused very uncomfortable physical effects, such as profuse sweating, and feelings of coldness running through the veins as well as feeling out of control. After experiencing this, I have decided to put my mental health way above my looks. There is no worse a feeling that I have ever felt than psychosis. From now on, I will research all supplements before I take them.

I have been taking Metabolife for one year and have lost 60 pounds without side effects from the Ma Huang in it. I have had energy, but not the shaky, crazed kind of energy. I know for a fact other products give Ma Huang a bad name because they contain too much Ma Huang and make you shaky. If you take a mild amount, like 50mg a day, you aren't harming your body. That is less ephedrine than one over the counter cold tablet like sudafed - and you take at least two Sudafed per day when you are sick. Taking small doses is very safe for most people, but be careful with this like anything else. People have allergic reactions to all sorts of things - i.e. my sister goes into seizures if she eats tomato products. Most people can eat tomatoes, but some can't. Most people can take Ma Huang - some can't.
