Ephredra stimulates the adrenal glands to increase energy and "speed" metabolism. Most people can use ephedra without problems, however it can cause the heart to pound and the pulse to race and even cause some to shake a bit.
That is because ephedra stimulates all receptor sites in the adrenals...it is called a non-selective stimulant.
Right now drug companies are trying to develop a drug to stimulate only the receptor sites for thermogenesis and lipolysis (fat moving out of fat cells). Guess what????
That is exactly what lotus leaf does!!! It works only on the Beta-3 Adrenergic Receptors which means it does not cause the heart to pound, pulse to race nor cause anyone to shake.
