    A British man has been sentenced to six months in prison for illegally selling ephedrine food supplements in the UK, according to the medical and health products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Danny Lee Frost, business director of MHRA, pointed out that when he began to worry about the lack of quality control measures for the product, MHRA proposed to stop the operation of the business Lee Frost pointed out that David Green did not receive a warning to sell ephedrine, a banned plant extract derived from plant ephedra David Green continues to sell these illegal products on his website and online auction sites MHRA said its investigators seized "hundreds of bottles of capsules" that were tested to contain ephedrine "This is another case of the danger of buying drugs from unregulated places," Lee Frost said "You don't know what you're buying, the dosage, the conditions under which it's made or, more importantly, whether it's going to have an impact on your health." Warning in 2008, Danish drug agents issued a statement that illegal ephedrine was contained in a product called the pyroelectric motor, which was related to several adverse event reports and an open death case Symptoms include elevated blood pressure and promoting blood clotting - similar to substances banned in the United States in 2004 Anne Marie vangsted, head of research, experiment and implementation at DMA, once pointed out to nutraingradients.com: you can't stop these trades - it's like narcotic drugs - all we can do is to let the public know the dangers of taking these products and try our best to control them "The problem is that if one distribution store is closed, another will be born Some operations are not carried out in Europe and are difficult to control Other countries have tried to shut down these operators, but they have failed DMA also has some educational programs for the public, including distributing flyers in some important places, such as sports and fitness clubs Ephedrine, as a stimulant and heat source, is an important component of Ephedra In the EU and most international jurisdictions, it is banned from food or supplements But in the UK, because it is available in natural shrubs, it can be used legally Athletes and people in training use ephedrine supplements more frequently, because it has the reputation of natural acceleration, which can improve the performance of athletes It can also reduce weight by changing some mechanisms Ephedrine was banned after professional basketball players died unexpectedly in 2004, when it was close to the toxic dose After April 30, 2011, those herbal products that are not in the EU traditional herbal products directive (thmpd) will be criminal illegal products, HFMA said at the spring seminar Natural products news: herbs are seamless under the new law We currently identify products by registration or authorization, and reach an agreement with suppliers to disclose such information The message is simple: we're not going to do anything, and we're going to force those who don't comply with the drug laws.
