Is ephedra extract the same as ephedra?
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.

What is ephedra nevandensis?
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.
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.
