What is Ma Huang?
Before learn more about the ability of ma huang for weight loss, I think we must know the fact about this capsule. In fact, it is not different with Ephedra. It is only different in name. Ma Huang is name of Ephedra for Chinese. Ephedra has been used for a long time to asthma and hay fever treatment. I think you will ask how an asthma supplement like ephedra can be used for weight loss. This is the reason, why we doubt with ma huang’s ability for weight loss.
Beside this, this supplement (Ephedra) has been banned by FDA (U.S Food and Drug Administration). FDA advises consumers to stop using dietary supplements containing Ephedra. FDA banned the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids.

As a supplement which is contained Ephedra, Ma Huang has many side effects for the consumer as more as Ephedra. There are several side effects which were found in any medical researches. Some researches reported that Ma Huang may cause high blood pressure, heart attacks, heart rate irregularities, seizures, strokes, sleeplessness and even death.Beside those, I also has found several sources which mentioned about Ephedra side effects, here are:
1) Rapid heart rate (tachycardia)

6) a serious allergic reaction including difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives;
7) yellowing of the skin or eyes, etc
