What is Metabolife?
Metabolife is an ephedra-based dietary supplement, which is also known as the Chinese herb ma huang that stimulates the nervous system and speeds up metabolism. Used mainly for weight loss and enhancing athletic performance, Metabolife is the nation’s leading maker of ephedra supplements that is now linked to at least 80 serious adverse event reports. After news of a federal investigation, Metabolife issued a letter stating that between 1997-2001, they had received about 13,000 consumer contacts regarding Metabolife dangers. The FDA said they were “alarmed” there were such a high number of Metabolife health complaints.
