A number of weight loss products that contain Ephedra have made their way back to the market and ECA Fuel is one of them. Aside from Ephedra which was banned a few years back, the product also contains caffeine and aspirin. Research is now being done as to the safety of these new products which usually do not include natural appetite suppressants in their formulations.

The ECA Fuel formula includes Ephedra, Caffeine and Aspirin.

*Ephedra - (Ma Huang) was once a widely used ingredient in weight loss supplements. It is a substance that increases one’s risk of heart attack and strokes because it raises blood pressure and heart rate. There have been several deaths reported associated with Ephedra use.

A few years back the US Food and Drug Administration imposed a ban on all supplements that had Ephedra saying that its use posed "an unreasonable risk of illness or injury".

Furthermore, the FDA considers the highly potent combination of Ephedra, Caffeine, and Aspirin to be extremely dangerous.

People who struggle with overeating know that it is very easy to keep adding on weight. Many consumers also understand that weight loss can only be achieved through diet and exercise and that there is no such thing as a magic pill that can shortcut the whole weight loss process. The use of extreme ingredients would not lead to sustained weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. The proven way to achieve these goals is through the use of natural products and a balanced diet.

Taking excessive amounts of caffeine causes restlessness and/or insomnia. Because caffeine may interfere with blood clotting, people who are taking aspirin or blood thinning medications should first consult their doctors before increasing their caffeine intake. More studies need to be done to find out whether caffeine is indeed a substance that promotes weight loss. People who are suffering from asthma or are taking increased amounts of caffeine are strongly advised against taking aspirin daily.

Positives

• The product is in capsule form

Negatives

• Ephedra is one of its main ingredients
• No consumer testimonials
• Ingredients may cause side effects
• No free trial offered
• Cannot be a substitute for a good weight loss program combining diet and exercise
• No money back guarantee

The future availability of Ephedra in the United States remains undetermined at the present time.
Because of its bad safety record, people with high blood pressure or heart disease should avoid any product that contains Ephedra. Those who still choose to use Ephedra in spite of the safety issues should have their blood pressures regularly checked by a health care professional. Aside from Ephedra, another active ingredient in ECA Fuel is caffeine which may aggravate the health conditions associated with Ephedra.
