Recenty the National Nutritional commonss Association (NNFA), together with the American Herbal cropss Association (AHPA) and other natural-products-industry organizations, called forward the U.S. Food and remedy Administration (FDA) to adopt a "national standard for the manufacture, labeling and marketing of ephedra products" To preserve consumers and to restore public confidence in the suitable use of ephedra supplements, especially in light of ephedra-misuse/abuse incidents that captured national attention, the postscript industry also recommends: serving size and daily consumption limits, caution labels, in addition to prohibitions against synthetic ingredients and illegal claims.

HERE ARE A not many OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROPOS LABEL CAUTIONS:

~ yields should not contain over 25 mg of ephedrine alkaloids for serving; daily consumption should not move over 100 mg of total ephedrine alkaloids

~ No claims should be made that the outcome can help the user achieve an altered state of consciousness, euphoria or that it is a "legal" alternative to an illicit drug

~ Do not use if you are in subordination to age 18.

~ Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing a baby.

~ Exceeding make acceptableed use guidelines may cause serious health forces [For the full text of the ephedra petition, advance to the NNFA's web site, nnfa.org in the "Legislative and Regulatory" section.]
