Hello Mickey,
There a great deal of controversy concerning Ma Huang. Many of our products contain this ingredient. There is a great deal of science on both sides of the issue. There is evidence that Ma Huang can sightly elevate the blood pressure in certain people. If an individual has high blood pressure, I would not recommend products that contain ephedrine or Ma Huang.
I know individuals that have high blood pressure that consume ephedrine with out complications. I have known individuals with high blood pressure that have lost enough weight with ephidrine that their blood pressure actually went down. In spite of that I would not recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure. The doctors that recommend ephedrine say that for a healthy person there is not problem.
The question has been ask why does 4Life offer a product that some people consider potentially harmful to individuals with high blood pressure. The answer is that a great number of medical professionals believe it is not harmful and actually has helped millions of individuals lose weight and become healthier. Obesity is a leading cause to diabetes type 2, heart disease, and a number of other conditions. The question is why rob millions of people the opportunity to improve their health, and maybe save lives. There is a warning on the product for individuals that have an illness to consult a doctor before using the product.
