Ephedra Nevadensis is also called Mormon tea and exist in Nevada.
Nevadensis is being used in many Ephedra diet supplements today because it does not contain any Ephedrine Alkaloids at all.
The Alkaloids you will find in Ephedra plants like Sinica also called Ma Huang or Sida Cordifolia.
They were taken of the market in 2004 because of a FDA ban, but you can still get them.
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
