My research has shown that ephedra extract is a derivative of the plant that has had the alkaloids removed.
It is my understanding that the ephedra extract is not as strong as the alkaloids and is also legal in all 50 states. It was ephedra alkaloids that were banned in some states, although many states later reversed that decision.
Ephedra Extract is a scam. You might as well go for Ephedra Free. The real ephedra has alkaloids. They are not illegal as long as it is used for nasal decongestion or as bronchodilators. People use it to lose weight or to gain extra energy too.
However, they may have harmful side effects.
Usually Ephedra Extract comes from plants like Ephedra Viridis or Nevadensis, those does not contain a certain Alkaloid that contains Ephedrine which is very effective for weight loss.
Ephedra Sinica or Sida Cordifolia are 2 other Ephedra Plants both containing Alkaloids and therefore they are considered to be "real" Ephedra.

Is ephedra the same as ephedra alkaloid?
There is no such thing as Ephedra Alkaloids. The reason is because Ephedra, Ma Haung and Sida Cordifolia are the herbs and Ephedrine Alkaloids is the active ingredient in them. Think of it as coffee beans and caffeine. Coffee, tea, cocoa are some of the herbs and beans that have the active ingredient caffeine. This is why you don't ask what the difference is between Ephedra and Ephedra Alkaloids because there is no such thing as Ephedra (herb) Alkaloids. It's like asking if coffee is the same as coffee caffeine. People will look at you funny. Get the real ephedra. Beware of companies selling fakes called Ephedra Extract. Those have the ephedrine alkaloids removed or not present at all. It is not quite the same. Ephedra exists in around 40 plants from around the world which all are different in their chemical structure. Some of the plants like Ephedra Sinica also called Ma Huang in Chinese, or Sida Cordifolia contains between 2.2 and 3.3 % Alkaloids in their chemical structure. The Alkaloids contains between 40 and 90% Ephedrine which is well known for being very effective for weight loss, especially when it comes as am ECA stack. An ECA Stack is Ephedra, Caffeine and Aspirin together. There are many diet pills on the market today, most of them comes from plants like Nevadensis or Viridis, both from North America and known as Mormon tea and Green Mormon tea. Nevadensis and Viridis does not contain any Alkaloids and therefore no Ephedrine.
What has ephedra in it?
The question could be changed to "What has ephedrine alkaloids in it?" Ephedrine Alkaloids is in real Ephedra. It is not in Ephedra Extract (most), Ephedra Viridis and Ephedra Nevadensis. Those are the inert kind without the Ephedrine Alkaloids that are needed to be effective. You can get the ones with Ephedrine Alkaloids. Ephedra Diets with Ephedrine Alkaloids are scientifically proven to burn fat, suppress appetite and energize. Beware of fake ephedra extracts sold elsewhere without the active ingredient ephedrine alkaloids from years ago. What overweight women and men have learned is that for years virtually every professional bodybuilder, informed fitness expert and successful personal trainer would tell you the same thing. Whether you want to accelerate the burning of excess body fat, boost your metabolic rate, heighten your thermogenic output or increase your energy level, there is nothing stronger or more effective than the "thermogenic cocktail" of Ephedra, Caffeine, and Aspirin (The E/C/A- Stack"). Patented formula and scientifically proven to work without diet or exercise. Beware of fakes called Ephedra Extract sold elsewhere. Only real Ephedra has the active ingredient Ephedrine Alkaloids. Those are the ones which have been scientifically proven to work. A herb found in China/Japan called as ma-hung has ephedrine in it. Other than that, you can get ephedrine at chemists too with a proper prescription of a doctor.
