I have just started this supplement stack. 16mg(two tablets) of Ephederine, 325mg of asperin(one tablet) and 200mg of caffiene(one tablet). Taking it two times a day, will it be better if I just take it just once a day before I work out instead? The big question I am concern is will I know any side effects first before I have like sudden heartattack or something like that. Again should I take it once a day or twice a day? Pleace feed me some info of if I am okay to do this and I really like this stuff. By the way I work out six times a day,well fit, but need to lose my stomach fat or is it my babyfat? I am 21 years old 5'6 185 lbs fairly a big bulky guy.

one question ARE YOU CRAZY THOSE ARE LIKE THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN TAKE, EPHERINE, CAFFEINE, DIERETICS CAN PEOPLE TO PASS OUT , AND EVEN death. Why are do you want to take those, you can lose fat just by exercising and eating a balanced diet. I would not take any of those if i were you. Professional athletes and normal people has suffered illness and death from taking those.

Ephedrine works... BUT, the side effects and potential problems make it a very unsafe supplement.

I am a healthy, fit adult, but even I had problems with sleep and heart palpitations when taking it...

My recommendation, do not take ephedrine or supplements that may contain it.

maxster, ny opinion is this. I have read in another post that it is like playing russian roulette & that is a good way to explain it in short. If you feel you need something like this why not take one of the many products that are now out there that are ephedrine free that are being marketed as just as good are better, with that in mind I just dont understand people who feel that they need the ephedrine. I look at it like this, when I was a teenager there was a field where a plant containing jimson seeds were growing wild, taking these seeds was similar in the effect that you would either get a very good buzz off them are they would hospitalize you or even kill you, I had close friends that actually went & picked these seeds together & ate them, some would be fine but some went into comas & even died, ephedrine is no different in my mind, why take the chance, your trying to improve your life...not end it. you never know, you could be the next epedrine horror story.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey people, stop flaming everyone who asks about Ephedra here! ECA stack based supplements work - it's been proven in clinical trials. On the other hand, reformulated "ephedra free" supplements probably do not work, and have not for me.
Yeah, taking ECA is taking some strong stimulants, so you're taking a risk - but really ephedra has gotten way worse a reputation than it deserves.
Many people that have serious problems from ephedra side-effects are taking more than the reccommended dose and mixing it with other dangerous things. I personally like how it gives me extra energy and have taken it for four week periods with much success.

In any case, ephedra has worked for me in the past, and has worked for millions of others - probably including hundreds of people on this board.

just so you guys know, more people have problems from aspirin , and cold medicine then ephedrine(im talking about long term usage , go reaserch it if you dont beleive me)and most people dont stack it either (they just jump right into the reccomended dosage)then when the "energetic feeling" is gone they assume the "fat burning effects are gone"(so they take to much)or they decide to go running sprints in 90 degree weather, or they have a medical problem and ignore educating themselves on the dangers of BEING INFORMED.

I agree with sky and dakota. I researched ephedrine, and people that have problems with it are the one's who o-d or take it with some other over the counter stimulant by accident. Ephedrine wont make you loose 10 lbs of fat in a month but if you are already in shape it will give your body that little extra kick to burn off that fat that is covering the muscles you have

Two words: be careful. It can be both safe and effective taken properly, but it can also be very dangerous if you take more than your body can handle. Start off slowly and build from there. It's strong stuff, even moreso when stacked with other stimulants, and should not be taken lightly.
