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?

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.
