Eca..

Hi guys ive been taking eca for just over a week now. Its help curb my appetite loads and i have much more energy.

Im taking it 20mg ephedrine, 300mg aspirin and just having 2 cups of strong coffee (do you think the coffee is ok instead of caffeine tablets)?

One thing ive noticed though is my skin is going really bad on my face, im getting alot of spots... Do you think this is anything to do with taking this??? I struggle with my skin alot and im still drinking alot of water, infact probably more...
 
I would definately stay completely away from ECA stacks. Ephedra can be highly addictive and lead to heart troubles. It is (in most cases) herbal, but herbal does not equal healthy. If you are trying to loose weight, stick to a good cardio routine and cut back saturated fats (red meats mostly).

Metabolism is key to body fat reduction. You should eat more meals, with smaller portions to keep your metabolism up. 6 meals a day is recomended.

ECA can cause bad skin, but it could be from other factors as well. Quite a bit of the can come from caffine as caffine is actually a toxin and a dieretic (causing cells not to absorb the water you are drinking) in the human system.

*EDIT*
If you are looking to increase your energy levels and curb appitite look into sublinqual b-vitamines with niacine. They will cause an increase in energy within just a few minutes and is safe to take throught the day

What is "Ephedrine" and "Ephedra"?

Ephedra is a perennial that is native to central Asia and is also sold under the name Ma Huang. Ephedra is a stimulant containing the herbal form of ephedrine, an FDA-regulated drug found in over-the-counter asthma medications. In the United States, ephedra and ephedrine are sold in health food stores and is widely used for weight loss, as an energy booster and to enhance athletic performance. The main ingredient in most "herbal fen-phen" products is ephedra.

Ephedrine: Ephedrine's actions are similar to that of adrenaline. Although its effects are less powerful than adrenaline, they are more prolonged. Because it acts as a stimulant it can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats. Ephedrine dilates the bronchial muscels, contracts nasal mucosa, raises the blood pressure, and is a cardiac stimulant. Complications from these adverse effects can result in strokes and heart irregularities that can result in cardiac arrest and even death.

Read closely as thats ALWAYS mistaken for eachother.

I would stay off the aspirin period, and have you seen a dermatologist for your skin?
 
yeah, way way too much asprin...i believe most people buy baby asprin which is around 80mg per tablet, an you just take one.

ephedra is safe enough as long as you stick to 20mg. you'll also need to stop taking it after 6 weeks, as your body will become used to it by then, and it won't really offern any benefits at that point.

Be warned, going off ephedra will likely give you headaches for a few days as the body goes through withdrawl from the stimulant it's used to having.
 
I agree with malkore, and even during the 6 weeks, take a day during each week and don't take any.
 
thanks for the info guys, i struggled finding caffeine tablets in local shops but i'll order some from the net.


cheers again xx

also before I order some, does anyone recommend anything different for weight loss thats better than doing ECA stack (that they have tried themselves).

If your talking about going the ephedrine free route, I'd suggest Lipo 6 however it's fat loss effects does not compare to the fat loss effects of a true ECA stack.
 
Ok cheers guys i'll stick with it.

Will someone just tell me again what ratio to take as I thought it was

20mg Ephedrine, 300mg Aspirin, and 100mg Caffeine. X 3 daily.
 
E - 25mg
C - 200mg
A - 80mg

This is the normal per dose. You can start lower to see how your body reacts to it.
 
Thanks again guys.

LV- I checked your site, you know your stuff... Shame you're not in the UK, i'd employ you as my trainer!

I may put something together for online training in the future but as of right now, I am being selfish and concentrating on myself.
