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.
There are quite a few places where you can buy Ephedra. But watch out not all Ephedra is the same.
synonym of Ephedra = Ma hung

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.
Ma Huang is the King of Ephedra, it is the Chinese name for the Ephedra Plant called Sinica which has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. And diet pills as well
