Supplement Manufacturer Makes FDA Ephedra Ban Obsolete - Ephedra-Free Weight Loss Alternative Already Carried by GNC
Pure Performance Nutrition's Rapid Thermal "Ephedrine-Free" Fat Loss Formula is picked up by the Top 1000 General Nutrition Center stores as a more effective alternative to Ephedrine.
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) January 1, 2004 –- Pure Performance Nutrition, Inc. (PPN)
anticipated a federal ban on Ephedra for more than a year. Rather than waiting
and reacting, PPN took the initiative and pro-actively formulated an
Ephedra-free (EF) replacement of its popular Rapid Thermal Fat Loss Formula.
Rapid Thermal "EF" has already exceeded the sales of its predecessor and has
recently been picked up by the Top 1000 corporate General Nutrition Center (GNC)
stores nation-wide.
GNC has restricted Ephedra sales since July 2003 and
most other manufacturers of Ephedra-based supplements have also replaced their
products with Ephedra-free versions. It is not clear how this FDA ban of Ephedra
will effect a supplement industry that has already self-regulated Ephedra from
its product lines.
Fred Krause, the CEO of PPN, said, "The writing has
been on the wall for years. It would not be factual evidence or reasonable
debate to decide the fate of ephedra-based supplements. It would be the greed of
trial lawyers and the pandering of politicians. Pure Performance Nutrition read
the wall and released Rapid Thermal 'EF' Fat Loss Formula over a year
ago."
Rapid Thermal "EF" is a fat loss/energy-enhancing supplement
designed specifically for high performance athletes. Rapid Thermal "EF" Fat Loss
Formula is a thermogenic (fat burning) dietary product that contains the most
effective natural weight loss complexes available, while remaining
ephedrine-free.
Fred Krause continued, "We designed our Ephedra-free
Rapid Thermal to be the strongest thermogenic on the market. However, we also
wanted it to remain safe. It even conforms with the NCAA and the International
Olympic Committee guidelines."
Rapid Thermal "EF" Fat Loss Formula’s main
ingredients are Octopamine, Citrus Aurantium, Caffeine, Green Tea Extract and
White Willow Bark. These natural herbs combine to produce a very effective
"ephedrine-free" thermogenic blend. Octopamine and Synephrine are used as
alternatives to ephedrine. They have been shown to produce dramatic results by
boosting the release of norepinephrine, your body’s main thermogenic hormone,
without the side effects associated with ephedrine. Green Tea Extract is another
great alternative to ephedrine. It is rich in EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate)
and Polyphenols. EGCGs work by inhibiting an enzyme that destroys norepinephrine
in the body. Polyphenols increase your metabolism and may cause a greater
percentage of fat (vs. carbohydrates) to be burned for energy.
Rapid
Thermal "EF" is available exclusively at select GNC stores throughout the United
States. For more information, call 1-800-790-7869 or visit http://www.RapidThermal.com.
