Title: Ephedrine HCL
Post by: Gym Rat on February 10, 2023, 04:59:27 AM
Most people know this, but some dont realize you can get this stuff still.
I remember the old gas-station days. $5.00 for 100 tabs, at I think 25mg each.

These are $7.99 for 60 tabs at 12.5mg each.

It’s great stuff, I prefer the bronkaid tablets though .. aftertaste on the yellow ephedrine is kinda bad.  Haven’t used it in a few years though, more cardio has rendered it largely unnecessary for me

Bronkaid has ephedrine sulfate, which isn't the form you want, ephedrine hcl is the form that was in hydroxyycut and ripped fuel, etc which is in Primatiene

Lipodrene is a great fat burner. It's on the above website

I think they’re largely equivalent.  Appetite suppression and extra energy in the face of a brutal diet were the desired effects and both forms delivered in a satisfactory manner.  The “fat burning” effect was negligible IMO

If it’s sold at drugstores...  it’s obviously legal. Would that sort of thing show up on a employer’s drug test?

My understanding is that Ephedrine Sulfate is somewhat slower acting because Sulfate ion, also the HCL form has a little pure Ephedrine by weight, but in reality you're only really talking about +/- a few mg either way, so take what's handy.

The big problem now, speaking to a pharmacist I know is that both types are considered old fashioned and too cheap treatment wise so they don't get much shelf space anymore, and when it does it goes to areas where the population skews older.

Wow, I can’t believes they still sell the Lipodrene with Ephedra.  Used it 15 years ago, thought it was long gone!

Its legal to sell the ephedra leaves because they are worthless.   The active ingredient for the stimulant is in the stems and branches.  Other times they just put Mormon tea in the supplement or Ephedra Viridis.    Its a common trick a lot of supplement companies do....very dishonest and most people don't realize it until they've already opened up their wallets

Whatever is in Lipodrene is heart-attack inducing though... Like crack cocaine.
With Jared it could just possibly be crack. I cut those big tablets into 4 pieces,and still very strong..
Maybe the Yohimbine HCL, Synephrine, etc..

Yes, will pop for amphetamines.  Mention it before the test and they will test it further using gas spectrum chromatography to differentiate ephedrine from illegal/controlled drugs.

Right, there is a difference but in practice I found it to be negligible.  Some guys would absolutely swear by one over the other and all I can do is roll my eyes.  It’s like the difference between test enanthate and test cypionate .. real on paper, insignificant in practice.  In my opinion, anyways.

I found they work the best for me by alternating them

Last year they were no longer available otc in my state, script only

There are other states now where they are script only

I found a source on Reddit that gives me a fair deal

Nah, due to all the injuries I have incurred and all the 800mg ibuprofen I have been given anytime I take NSAI’s or aspirin or Tylenol I just piss blood..so, I tend to stay away.

Usually a pinch of Copenhagen

I can handle all stims pretty well except yohimbine. Alpha Yohimbine I think is the one I can't tolerate at all. Worst anxiety, cold sweats, constant need to urinate. Just awful feeling.  Can't even get through a workout.
