Is Ma Huang more stronger than green tea or caffeine at burning fat. The reason why is I bought grenade which is a thermogenic dietary supplement from the gym where I train and the personal trainer who is also a competive bodybuilder claims it is the most powerful fat burner because it contains ma huang and he also uses it to cut up before he gets ready for a competion.
I know I have to eat healthy and exercise but the thing is I am training 4 times a week but the problem is my personal trainer adviced me to eat a high protein meal every two hours but I cant start my diet because I cant afford to by the protein powders, chicken, tuna etc so I had no other choice and I had to by these diet pills and I have also gained alot of weight and I need to lose it.

Ma Huang is ephedra which is extremely dangerous and has caused many deaths.

It can be dangerous. Wasn't ephedra outlawed?

Ma Huang is what Ephedra is derived from- it is dangerous in both the short and long term..so yes it is stronger, but it may cause you to have an early heart attack.
Ma Huang Side Effects
The current review of information from a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) database found that more than 926 cases of possible ma huang poisoning were reported between 1995 and 1997. Researchers from the New England Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts took a closer look at 37 reports of serious ma huang side effects in patients aged 20 to 69. Patients in 43% of these cases suffered strokes, 27% had heart attacks and 30% died suddenly. Nearly all of the patients took ma huang doses within recommended levels and only one patient had a history of heart disease, the report indicates.
The findings support previous studies demonstrating that ma huang may increase the risk of heart attack and death, and suggest that the current FDA system of monitoring the safety of dietary supplements may not go far enough to protect consumers.
