Lipodrene

The FDA was requested by the U.S. Attorney’s Office from Pennsylvania for assistance in seizing ATF Fitness Products, Inc.’s Lipodrene inventory. The dietary supplement contains ephedrine alkaloids and is harmful to the heart.

The U.S. Marshalls were sent to the company headquarters in Oakmont, Pennsylvania to stop the distribution of the Lipodrene by seizing five boxes worth approximately $16,000.

Each daily dose of Lipodrene contains 50 mg of ephedrine alkaloids. On April 12^th, 2004, the FDA announced that it is prohibiting the distribution of ephedrine alkaloid containing supplements. The ATF Fitness Products, Inc. was in violation of this rule. The FDA made this rule because ephedrine alkaloids are stimulants that can pose dangerous effects on the heart. Studies of ephedrine alkaloids show that it raises blood pressure and will stress the circulatory system which puts a person at a higher risk for having a heart attack or stroke.

There are many websites selling Lipodrene as a weight loss solution. You need to be careful taking any diet supplements. You may have high blood pressure or other cardiovascular problems that make taking ephedrine alkaloid diet supplements dangerous. Other diet supplements are available for losing weight.
