What about Ephedrine?

[Stormblade]

Hey guys i'm trying to cut. It's a slow process, I've been doing my normal 3 day a week Chest-tri, Back-bi, Legs-shoulders workout with 2 days of cardio and a 2000 calorie restricted diet. Its slow going but I am seeing steady positive hopefully lasting results. I am of course forced to use protein shakes and lots of egg whites to keep the protein level up. Anyways, I was wondering about ephedrine is it all its claimed to be? Does anyone have any first hand experience? Please tell.

Get some Xenadrine, it works.

ts the best weight loss supp on the market. And that includes pharmaceuticals. Thats why the FDA is trying to ban it. Not because its dangerous, but so the pharm companies can make billions on it.

What is this TS stuff you mentioned? When I stop taking the weight loss supplement will I regain the weight? I know if you lose too much too fast it will only come back. I was looking for something that won't destroy my longterm metabolism and help me lose another pound per week on the same diet.

I use Diet Fuel by Twin Labs. I got it at a GNC. It's good, but I suggest you take 2 capsules before three of your meals instead of the suggested 3 capsules. They say not to take more than 100 mg of ephedrine a day, but 9 capsules each with 20 mg of ephedrine is way too much for one day. You will feel sad or angry at the slightest things if you take 3 capsules a meal. Take only 2 capsules a meal, continue your workout, and watch the fat get knocked out.

I don't think there are 20 mg of ephedrine in one cap. That's the amount in one serving which is probably 2-3 caps. The only thing that you could get at GNC that would have such a high concentration of ephedrine in one pill would be Stacker 2 or 3. I believe both have 25 mg of ephedrine in each pill.

I think Twinlab puts their "Do not exceed..." dosage at 9 a day. That's probably safe enough. Supplement companies usually underdose the product so the people that are smart enough to follow the label are at even less of a risk of sides. Plus they're trying to keep people from being idiots which is why ephedrine has such a bad reputation (that and they like to make you take more of their product so you end up buying more).

I got a 25mg Epehedrine bottle at the 'nutrition house' at the mall I go to. There banned now though (In Canada). So I got the 8 mg.
I was told not to take more then 4 caps a day (25mg caps), so theoretically you could take 12.5, 8mg caps a day? Dont know.
I was also told not to take the 25mg caps after 3 PM or you will probably lose sleep depending on what time you go to bed.
I was alsd told not use them if anyone in your family has had heart troubles.
Can someone please verify all that for the 8mg caps?

From everything I have read/heard etc. says Epehdrine is the best cutter you can get.
Although, my brother is taking No2 prohormones and has lost 10 pounds and gained an inch and a half on his arms in less than a month.
So, its your choice.
Again, could someone verify what I said about the Ephedrine. I want to make sure.
Also, about the 8mgs, would it be ok to take them around 3-4PM and not lose sleep?
Thanks,
