It was discontinued

I'm surprised to see that some Ephedra-based supplements are still on the market. Everyone knows that this stimulant, also called Ma Huang, was banned in the U.S. earlier, as a result of reports that it was unsafe to the point that some users actually died.

A supplement called Trimethylene supposedly contains Ephedra, in addition to nutrients like Vitamin B3, Chromium, Ephedrine, Bitter Orange Extract, Evodiamine and other components. The product has been discontinued, but perhaps it is still available illegally -- not that anyone should mess around with such a questionable item in the first place.
