FDA does not currently regulate many products containing
ephedra
because it is labeled as a dietary supplement and thus is protected
under the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994.
Pursuant to the Act, the FDA cannot regulate dietary supplements
such as ephedra unless it has been proven to be unsafe. Drug companies
have taken advantage of the current status of ephedrine and have
attempted to produce a product that has amphetamine-like qualities
by mixing
ephedrine with other stimulants such as caffeine.
