In a local market I seen MINI-THINS, kept with the energy pills by the register, like stackers and stuff. I though MINI-THINS were took off the market because of the ephedrine they contained. Which now I understand is only sold for asthma and it's behind the counter. You also have to sign or it. So is ephedrizine the same as ephedrine just a different name?
The new Mini-Thins have Ephedrizine 25mg in them. Is Ephedrizine the same as Ephedrine?

How long will mini thins with ephedrizine propietary blend stay in your system
Ephedrizine is not ephedrine. Ephedrine is controlled now and is available online at a few websites but not many. You have to supply a photo ID and you can only order 7 grams max per month.
The Mini Thins with Ephedrizine is still a good energy product and useful for weight loss.
No, Kaismama is exactly right. They changed the name slightly hoping to capitalize on the close name association. It is a proprietary blend of caffeine, corynanthe, nut, and green tea. It is NOT ephedrine and has NO ephedrine in it. It is mainly just a caffeine pill.
Its just a "proprietary blend" of something, that falls in the category of nutritional supplements. Its just an attempt at capitalizing on the ephidrine name.
