Dosage Ephedrine (ephedrine hydrochloride)
When I started writing this book, Ephedrine was one of my favorite legal stimulants/fatburners. Halfway through finishing, Dosage Ephedrine (Ephedra, actually) became one of my favorite outlawed fatburners; now it’s my favorite legal one again. Who knows what it will be by the time you have this book in your hands? Tiki Barber, running back for the NY Giants once speculated that while it was legal, 80% of the players in the NFL used Dosage Ephedrine. For my part, I’ll speculate that the number using it will pick right back up now that it’s legal again, and that this time, NFL players will be stocking up just in case it goes off the market again.
Ephedrine is a stimulant that belongs to the sympathomimetics family. It’s both an alpha and beta adrenergenic, as opposed to Clen, which only works on your beta receptors. Dosage Ephedrine releases norepinephrine, which is basically very similar to adrenaline, your fight or flight hormone, which is an endogenous alpha agonist. First, when you take Dosage Ephedrine, your body temperature will rise. This is a good thing, as it indicates more fuel being burned for energy. That’ll help you shed some of your subcutaneous body fat stores, and this is basically Dosage Ephedrine’s main use in athletics.
Its other use is for it’s stimulant properties. The stimulant effect of Dosage Ephedrine will increase the contractile strength of skeletal muscle; for this reason Dosage Ephedrine is commonly used by powerlifters and Olympic lifters. It also helps many people focus, similar to Caffeine, with which many choose to take their Dosage Ephedrine. The touted stack of Dosage Ephedrine (25-50mg), Caffeine (200-300mg) and aspirin (100mg) is shown to be extremely synergistic for fat loss. In this combination, the Dosage Ephedrine and Caffeine both act as notable thermogenic stimulants, while the added aspirin helps to inhibit lipogenesis by extending the duration of their effect and blocking the incorporation of acetate into fatty acids. The best synergy is when the Dosage Ephedrine/Caffeine ratio is actually 1:10.
Finally, Dosage Ephedrine also seems to slow gastric emptying, which is why it is very popular as an appetite suppressant, and was included in many diet pill preparations until it was pulled from the market.
