Title: ephedrine
Post by: Lil Diesel on August 05, 2006, 11:35:21 PM
If you take ephedrine, does that make you not be a natural?

ephedrin is a herbal supp so I'd say no. I dont take it personally, but u must be carefull on the amounts u take and when u take it since it raises ur blood preshure.
If u already have high blood preshure I wouldent take it at all! Caffine dose much the same thing, ie gives u an energie boost, but then u could ask the question why am I low on energie in the first place?

ephedra is herbal, ephedrine is not.
both are banned by most organisations.
but i think that is has nothing to do with being natural or not, that's a question with injection or (whatever way of consuming) hormones to help with muscle growth.

oooops ahh ya LOL sorry ur right my bad!  :-X
Thanks for correcting me I even spelled it out and diden't notice lol
Ephadrin is like speed right ??? ya thats defenitly a drug I know ppl with adhd
take ephadrin pills but I dont think normal ppl should unless they want to mess up
the chemical balance of the brain. It will amp up ur energie but when u crash u feel
depressed and lathargic thus setting up the dependance.

Nathan, learn to spell or take yourself to spend more time on typing.

Ephedra is nowhere near speed.
Ephedra is in fact even less powerful than ehedrine hcl.
it's true what you say about 'coming down', if you have been on a too high dosis for too long, you'll be in trouble.  ;)

how long are your average ephedrine cycles/what is the safest amount of time?

I'm a recovering bad speller, dyslexia doesn't help things either.
excuses aside, either way the effects are the same I guess ???
sorry for the confusion tho lol.

PS: I used spell check this time ;) I'd say the safest cycle is no cycle at all  ::)
but if u want to do it I cant really help u there.

Ephedra is totally counterproductive to building muscle mass, leave it alone.

i can see it being effective for cutting but why would you take something that destroys appetite and interferes with sleep?
