GNC to stop selling Ephedra

[Wolfie 45]

In case nobody knew, as of the end of June, GNC will be removing Ephedra products from the shelves. This along with Cytodone's discontinuing the Xenadrine RFA-1 line. Just a little something i thought I'd pass along....
-Howl.

Meh...you can get it elsewhere for a cheaper price. But it's interesting to witness the hysteria surrounding the big "E".

I am more disturbed by the fall of the NYC stack myself.

Always seems to me that if a product is good and actually works - it inevitably gets discontinued.

Yeah, but price wasnt really the issue. Its the fact that the largest retail chain supplement store is going to stop selling ephedra. To me this shows that the media's campaign to bash the hell out of an effective supplement has worked. That irritates me. Of course it will still be on the internet and various other places but the discontinuing of it still sucks.

I agree.

Rikki Lake did a show on the "dangers" of ephedra (and before any smart ass jumps in - I was only watching because of the TOPIC) and I could not believe all of the moronic things that were uttered on that show.

Completely misinformed and paranoid - and WE are the ones that get screwed in the long run. Hopefully the next generation of thermos do the trick. I'm excited about AF's new one......

what are the new non ephedra thermogenics putting in them besides caffeine?? IMO there is no replacement for ephedra

Xenadrine has replaced Ephedrine with Synephrine, same family but in my opinion nowhere nearly as effective. The rest have just raised the amount of Caffeine in the product (Hydroxycut) as well as added things like Garcinia Cambogia (sp?) and Green Tea. Trim Spa actually lowered the caffeine and use a combination of Glucomanan, Chromium, and Vanadyl. Basically this means that the new thermogenics are going to be a shadow of the previous products.
