Do you prefer this supplement over VasoPro?  Obviously this one contains caffeine and doesn't have the guaifenesin, though not as much ephedrine.

I like Stimerex-ES which has 25mg of ephedrine and 80mg of caffine.

I prefer Ephedrine to Ephedra products, but depends on your personal preference and tolerances I suppose.

The alkaloids are what give ephedra its effectiveness.  Ephedrine is just one of those alkaloids.  I think there is more to gain from the combination of them, then one being singled out.

There were quite a few studies done on ephedra.  It's proven to work, no ephedrine.

I really like Vasopro, I take 50mg an hour before Heavy Nights .and I get the Big boost
I want without the Jitters & Sleep problems after the workout.
Of course everyone reacts differently.

I recently tried Cytostrol by Southern Pharmaceuticals, I think it's discontinued now.
1 Cap is 665mg, It's a blend 8 different energizers and it's STRONG.

1 Pill from each bottle. (25 mg Ephedrine / 200 mg Caffiene /  300 mg Aspirin) is the ratio I use, works out to roughly 1 pill per bottle.

For fat loss, I use 2 per bottle in the AM, and 3 per bottle after work roughly 1 hour before workout for the 2 weeks i use it.

(2 weeks on, 2 weeks off to allow recepotors to refresh. Like any drug, the body will develop a tolerance to it)

Princess is correct, I believe the asprin portion is arguable, but if it thins the blood for the extra pump effect, I use it anyway  :)

Nice side effect of the eca stack is it blunts appetite (or does with me anyway).

The rush / thermogenic effect is amazing. Watch for harsh sides on the Ephedrine though (shakes, sleeplessness), start out with 1 pill per bottle to assess tolerance first, and drink lots o water, it will dry ya up quick.

The half life is somewhere around 3 hours, so that's why you want to split it up.  Some people can't take it late in the day cuz it disrupts sleep.  Nothing keeps me from sleeping tho.  ;)
Title: Where do you buy your ECA from?
Post by: HERACLES on April 25, 2006, 04:44:43 PM

 VasoPro at BB.com, NoDoz at ANY grocery store or convenience store and aspirin...anywhere.

  60 servings of that shouldnt cost more than $20. Lipo is okay...but at baby aspirin to it w/ half a vasopro or...12.5mg of ephedrine to be exact.

 Fk it...go with the tried/true ECA stack. Just that...nothing els. For a feather in the cap...'The Chad' told me that PERSONALLY at Jr. Nationals...told me forget any company or labeled 'fat burner' go with the ECA in its truest form...a fraction of the cost and twice as effective.

thanks Blaock, much appreciated- do i take 200mgs of Nodoz per?

I will add this to this thread too as not many people know this - The govt just banned ephedra raw materials from entering the US - meaning what is here is now it for supplements.  :(

BUT, you can still buy at many stores and online.  I suggest searching for Xenadrine, Stacker 2 lite, and other generic versions.  Once these are gone, then do the mix your own version.  You might as well stick to your original formula if you can for a little while longer...

 Based on the pics of you on stage shown here...basically every single day, Vince...

 I would have NEVER guessed you have ever used a supplement designed for burning fat and if so...you arent a credible source of information. I seen your stage pictures...

 Why dont you tell us about taraxatone now and how it makes you drop water to see deeper striations.

Friend of mine went to the doctor for blood pressure readings and before his readings he admitted to taking ECA. Before this happened i also argued the effectiveness of the "A". The doctor told him that the "A" is necessary basically because the E and C get your blood pumping really fast which is very hard on the heart the A thins your blood making it alot easier on your heart. It seems very believable to me. The doctor said taking ECA was ok but STRESSED the fact to make sure you take the A.

I believe White Willow Bark thins your blood too.  My doctor was amazed at how much I bled during a routine visit when the needle broke the skin...

It somewhat makes sense, and I'm certainly not going to dispute it since there doesn't seem to be any study out there confirming or denying it. All of the studies I've read indicate the A is not necessary for FAT LOSS - no mention of anything else.

Well, cardio gets your blood pumping really fast too  ;) 
Ephedrine is a bronchodialator and caffeine is a stimulant.  If blood thinning was all that important then wouldn't it be recommended for coffee drinkers?   ???  I'm not convinced of the doc's theory.

Yeah i dunno, but Princess L when it comes down to it whats a bottle of baby aspirin worth? The Aspirin defenetly isnt going to do any harm if not taken everyday. Sometimes i take the stack with an aspirin sometimes i dont. Im sure the friend who im talking about that went to the doc will read this soon and maybe speak on what he/she said a bit more

It's not for fat loss.  It's for ease on your body.  And coffee doesn't have 200mg of caffeine nor ephedrine.  Nor do people drink it 30 mins before a run or session.  As your body temp raises your blood will slowly start to thicken due to the loss of water from sweating.  Not only that, but mental as well as physical stress IE: Working out or running can cause your blood to thicken.  So you have three causes for blood thickening and causing unwanted strain on your heart.  Hence the need for A.

Basic brewed 6-7 ounces (ie; a SMALL cup) of regular coffee has anywhere from 90-150mg caffeine.  And MANY people use pre-workout stimulants -ie; coffee, caffeine pills, soda, Red Bull, or some other "energy" drink.
