Ephedra is an alkaloid that contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. These two substances are commonly found in many decongestants. In the olden days, ephedrine was also used in the hospital settings to increase blood pressure in patients who were in shock.
Ephedrine is a brain stimulant and is also considered a performance enhancing drug. Of course, it is banned by all sports organizations.
