A great deal of the controversy around Metabolife comes from the fact that the product contained Ephedra, the dangerous substance that has been linked to insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack, seizure and stroke.

Oftentimes, people find themselves losing weight consistently and then suddenly their efforts come to a halt. This can be quite discouraging, which is where Metabolife has a role.
