What is Mahuang / Ma Huang?

Traditionally, Mahuang is an herb that is grown in India, Pakistan, and China, which, usually, is dried and the leaves/stem are used for medicinal purposes. Effectively, the Chinese name for ephedra is Mahuang, and it has been used for thousands of years in China for traditional Chinese medicine. Furthermore, Mahuang is a crucial element for many dietary and weight loss supplements, and ephedra one of three vital ingredients for the ECA Stack.

In effect, Mahuang increases both the body’s basal metabolic rate and the rate of thermogenesis, or ability to burn fat. Additionally, when combined with caffeine and aspirin, it creates an ECA Stack – this greatly increases and prolongs the effects of mahuang alone, and offers the benefit of maintaining lean muscle mass.
