Ephedra and Hair Loss
You recently answered a question about amphetamines causing hairloss in which you stated it can. Amphetamines are a CNS (central nervous system) stimulator that suppress appetite, increase energy, etc… Would Ephedra which also happens to be a CNS stimulator cause the same hair loss effects as amphetamines would? Basically, wouldn’t amphetamimes and ephedra physically stress the adrenals of the body? I have used ephedra for almost 3 years daily to help with workouts and during this time is when I noticed my hair thinning/miniaturizing…….
You seemed to have answered your own question. Yes, ephedra can cause hair loss.
I was taking Lipodrene for weight loss and it contains ephedrine group alkaloids in it. I have been loosing my hair and it is getting to be a problem. I have stopped taking the Lipodrene but when will my hair stop falling out? What can I do to stop this? Help !!!!!!
I have also experienced hairloss with Lipodrene. I keep being told that there is no evidence that ephedra would cause hair loss, but I am experiencing it and its the only change! I have since stopped taking it and adding a biotin supplement to my routine. Will my hair grow back, or is this permanent?
