ephedrine

what doses are you guys typically using? Ive tryed 25mg tabs just one a day with 200 mg's caffiene and a baby aspirin with no noticable effects. Any help is appreciated!

I usually stick with the 25/200 but occasionally go w/ 25/300.


I'm female.

I've always found 25/200 3 x daily works wonrers for me. Having said that I am very sensitive to CNS stimulants.

I do 25mg 3 times a day w/ 200mg caffeine. That keeps me moving but not strung out.

Just curious, what are you expecting to happen?
For me, the effects I feel are a little bit of jitters and a big decrease in appetite.
I start at the 25e/200c, I don't use any aspirin. When that stops giving me the jitters, I go to approx 37.5e/300c. Then when the jitters stop again I go to 50e/400c. When the jitters stop with that, I take 7-14 days off. Then I repeat.

So I've read, that an EC(A) stack is only going to raise your metabolism as a thermogenic by 2-3%. Diet and exercise are still paramount for losing fat.

thank you for the info I didnt want to overdo it at first, Ill try 2x a day then up it to 3x daily and see how I feel. Diet and training are on point!

that dose typically does the trick for me.

Is it possible to use an OTC psuedo ephedrine product like Sudafed?

Nope, that's just weird...

 

[Gunsmith]

Thats a negitive on the Sudifed not the same thing.

I take 25/200 3x a day after about 7-10 days the effects slack off then I add yohembe with it 1000mgs I think and that seems like it kicks it back in for another 5-7 days then I take 7 dyas off and repeat. I never found the asprine to do anything but make my blood thinner over time.

pseudoephedrine, ephedrine's optical isomer, can be substituted. Contrary to popular belief studies have shown pseudoephedrine to have a thermogenic effect; approximately three times less than L-ephedrine. Therefore, three Sudafed tablets, or 90 mg pseudoephedrine should provide approximately the same thermogenic effect as 25 mg ephedrine, but the overall effects of a pseudoephedrine based stack compared to an ephedrine based stack have not been studied (it is unlikely that PSE would produce an anoretic effect due to the low CNS activity, which is responsible for ~75% of the ECA stack's weight loss).

Ephedrine acts both as a beta agonist and stimulates the release of noradrenaline. Increased circulating noradrenaline in the body then acts on white adipose tissue by increasing cAMP levels. This causes a thermogenic effect, raising body temperature.

However, the body's negative feedback system then activates to normalize the metabolism. This is done via the production of phosphodiesterase inside the cells, and prostaglandins outside the cell, which both lower cAMP levels within the cell.

Caffeine inhibits the production of phosphodiesterase inside the cell and therefore slows the cAMP breakdown. It also, by binding with and competitively inhibiting adenosine receptors in the brain, triggers the release of adrenaline which increases cAMP levels further.

Aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production outside of the cells, which, in conjunction with caffeine, greatly prolongs the thermogenic effects and increased metabolism by substaining elevated cAMP levels.

Ephedrine should be allways taken in moderate doses. High doses could put your heart at risk. People are allways abusing suplements, and with doses as high as 200-300mg per day , no wonder they got killed and the product out of the shelfes. 25mg is an responsable amount.

Dose

As most of the above posts read keep your dose of ephed. low I use a 30mg tab w/200mg caf. and 500mg asp. Twice a day for cutting and contest prep. You should/would not use this with clenbeuterol. This will cause heart rate fluctuations and cns disturbances.
