  We just don't know," said Bill Gurley, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
  
  Gurley, one of the few researchers who has studied citrus aurantium, has found that juice from the plant contains chemicals that can inhibit an enzyme important in metabolizing as many as half of all medications.
  
  "It appears to be not as potent as ephedrine, but it may increase blood pressure and heart rate, and when you start mixing it with all the other multiple components (found in diet pills), you may run into trouble," Gurley said.
  
  Most diet pills contain several ingredients such as caffeine, herbal diuretics and other biologically active compounds that could further magnify the effects.
  
  Ephedra has been linked to heart problems, seizures and more than a dozen deaths.Federal regulators have ordered a complete safety review and have begun to crack down on Internet sales of the supplement.
  
  Although manufacturers say the products are generally safe when taken as directed, a growing number of lawsuits by consumers has led to skyrocketing product-liability insurance premiums for the $1.1 billion-a-year ephedra supplement industry.

  These inconsistencies highlight the trouble consumers have in choosing supplements, says Bill J. Gurley, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences at UAMS and lead author of the study.
  
  "There are some companies out there that are right on the money," he says."Unfortunately, there are many others that aren't."
  
  But even knowing a product's overall ephedra alkaloid content may not be enough, Gurley says."What makes up that amount can vary dramatically."
  
  The alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are most common in ephedra-containing dietary supplements, and came up most frequently in the ones tested, Gurley says.
  ...
  "If you're going to take them, it's probably best not to take them and go run a mile or two," says Gurley.Because their effects upon heart rate and blood pressure can vary, he thinks you should avoid strenuous exercise for at least an hour or two after taking ephedra supplements.
  
  If you're worried, read these HealthSCOUT stories about the FDA's investigation and the death of a bodybuilder after taking the supplement.
  
  The American Academy of Family Physicians offers a detailed information sheet on ephedra.
