Ephedrine is an alkaloid that acts as a stimulant and appetite suppressant. It does this by directly activating your sympathetic nervous system. The legal battle and history of side effects for this supplement are murky at best as it can potentially do permanent damage to your internal organs.

It's also molecularly similar in structure to amphetamines and methamphetamines (other stimulants). It gained popularity orginainally in China to treat bronchitis and ashthma. There's nothing too special about it to be honest.
