Twinlab annouced recently that they will stop ephedra in all of their products as of next month. Good for them to take leadership on this before the goverment gets involved.

I thought that was because their insurance company was raising their rates because they were using ephedra though.

Yep, legalized speed. Didn't you ever notice that most of the GNCs have a lot of the ephedra containing products locked up? Ma huang is another name they use to try and hide ephedra but it's the same thing. The stuff has killed MANY people.
