Fifteen healthy subjects (mean age 27 years) were orally supplemented with one capsule metabolife 356® (containing ephedra 12 mg, caffeine (40 mg), and 17 other unspecified components) or placebo with a 7-day washout period between treatments. Compared to baseline, the mean QTc (Bazetti) interval increased by 22 milliseconds for the DSEC group (p=0.03) and 3 milliseconds for placebo (p=0.69). Study findings should be cautiously interpreted as the actual ingredient or ingredients in Metabolite 345 are not known (McBride et al, 2004).

Ephedrine and its over-the-counter synthetic counterparts, variously labeled as metabolife, Metab-O-LITE and Metabomax, did a booming business as diet pills. In 1998, metabolife alone racked up sales of more than $600 million! Although ephedra can suppress the appetite and raise your metabolism, which may help lead to short-term weight loss, it can also cause side effects, including raised blood pressure, insomnia, seizures, heart attacks, strokes, and, possibly, death.

Over the Counter, but Not for Long: Ephedra Virtually all of the commercial dietary "miracle" products—TrimSpa, metabolife, Ripped Fuel, Xenadrine, and the rest—work by two pathways: suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate (called thermogenesis, which is the production of heat from food). They do so with varying degrees of success. The active ingredient in all of them is—or at least used to be—ephedra. A ton of information has come down the pike recently about ephedra, much of it inflammatory and a great deal of it inaccurate.

Although ephedra can suppress the appetite and raise your metabolism, which may help lead to short-term weight loss, it can also cause side effects, including raised blood pressure, insomnia, seizures, heart attacks, strokes, and, possibly, death. A recent paper appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine reviewed 140 reports of cardiovascular and central nervous system adverse reactions and concluded that two-thirds of adverse health reports were definitely, probably, or possibly related to the herbal formulas.
