Ephedrine and Caffeine

Ephedra was banned but not Ephedrine

Bulknutrition has is for under $8.00 a bottle and caffeine pills are really cheap.

Customnutritonwarehouse.com has bigger bottles of the same ephedrine for cheaper.

That's what fade is doing... how many do you recommend and how many times a day?

what is the difference between ephedra and ephedrine?

**butterfly** · 10-02-2004, 11:20 AM

Ephedra is the natural herb and Ephedrine is the pharmaceutical.

The FDA only banned Ephedra.

Ephedrine is derived from any of several species of the genus Ephedra. While some of the Ephedra species have no alkaloid content, the Asian species E. sinica typically has the highest concentration of ephedrine. The alkaloid content of E. sinica ranges from one to three percent; 40% to 90% of the alkaloids are ephedrine, with the remainder made up of pseudoephedrine, norephedrine and norpseudoephedrine. The pharmacological effects of E. sinica are thus principally due to its ephedrine content.

The reason that ephedrine is still legal is because it is sold as a bronchodilator, not a "weight loss" type supplement.

Since ephedrine is pure, it is stronger also.

Okay, I have something that i ordered before the ban called Ephedra Extract they are 850 mg. It says it contains naturally occuring ephedrine. Is this good stuff?

**Pirate!** · 10-02-2004, 03:55 PM

Should be good stuff. As long as it has caffeine with it, it will burn some fat--and give you energy. The stuff can get addictive, though. When you quit, you are tired without it. It is better to do for a few weeks at a time.

It's a little late for that! I started taking it last year and have only stopped a cpule of times. I take caffeine with it. Im afraid of what will happen when i do stop.

You will sleep for two weeks, that's all.

Not below where it would normally be, but it will be slower than why you are using.

**VicVega** · 10-04-2004, 11:59 PM

What are some good sites to get ephedrine from? i havent used ephydra since it was banned and i loved it.

**DIVINITUS** · 10-05-2004, 12:14 AM

I'd like to get some too. Is ephedrine still considered the "best" fat loss aid?

If you are not sure how much you can start with then I'd suggest the minimum and increase as needed. I typically do 12.5mg of E and 100mg of C 4 times per day. You can increase the amount up to 25mg of E and 200mg of C but no more than 3 times per day.
