Title: is TOO much ECA overkill?
Post by: boonstack on March 24, 2007, 08:05:09 AM
I have read where gh15 recommended some guy on here to take eca 3x a day for fat loss... does it really help that much? The only time its really helped me is before a workout, otherwise during the day (if i take in in morning) i feel lousy and no energy. But, it is a terrific appetite suppressant, i was just curius if going above 50mg was a waste or not. opinions?

If you have as much Bodyfat as the squadfather to burn, it's probally beneficial t use it 3 times per...It's know to increase you BMR by 3% or so, as opposed to clen which increases BMR by 7%..

Hahahaha! I was about to say that!

 3x's a day is probably too much. It will eat away at bodyfat granted everything els is in place but if you were to do it as gh15 says then take 1 day off during the week where you don't use any. Maybe even 2 days.

 I say go with it 2x's a day for 3 weeks straight then take a FULL week off and assess.

 Too much can stress out your adrenal glands and central nervous system causing a release in cortisol which can hurt muscular growth. Use it moderately and wisely.

3x a day is how it was used back in the day, but you will be wired. Anymore than that you risk problems.

a healthy individual have nothing to worry about with 3x  25mg ephedra/200 caff/aspirin....Up to 50mg Ephedra  every 4 hours is considered to be safe......

The problem with gh15 is I don't think he knows what to do without drugs!

I've played around with the "E" and the "C" but don't use the "A" cause I've had liver problems....am I hurting it by not using the "a" or am I still burning some fat?
