10mg is the FDA recommended dosage. Of course, you should be careful when raising the dosage so that you understand your threshold. And if you have ANY kind of heart condition or high blood pressure, then ephedra based products are defininitely off limits.

That being said, if you’re looking to supplement your diet plan, you’ll most likely want a good metabolic booster and appetite suppressant. I’d suggest taking a look at Herbalean. It does have Ephedra, which was unbanned this year by the FDA – so it’s legal in the US again. It also has Hoodia for the appetite suppression, so the combination works VERY well for me.

I’ve been taking it for a couple months now, and the Hoodia keeps me from snacking and gets rid of the sweet cravings, while the Ephedra gives me a good energy boost through the whole day.

It’s made by the original makers of MetaboLife, and they’ve improved the formula with Hoodia and 77 trace minerals and herbs. It’s also an extended release formula, so you won’t get the jitters from the Ephedra like you would with MetaboLife.
