just wondering whats the recommended ammount of ephedrine a day?

40 m"g will effect well?

and should u cycle it?

basically i know its the best to take it with caffeine too, so the formulas of caffeine + ephedrine are the best bet?

thanks for any serious helpers.

Follow the directions on the bottle, if you want an extra kick you can drink some coffee with it. Do this early because with the caffine/ephedrine combo your going to be up for quite some time. I have not heard of this being cycled. Anyone ever cycle this combo before?

Yeah if you are gonna take it, cycle it. But, i personally dont reccomend it at all. Ive taken it in the past and do not respond well to it. For one, my resting heart rate went real high, which is a no-no, but also once I took 16 mg and 200mg caffeine an hour once before going on a run, and through some stairs in at the end. Basically i got really dizzy, nautious, sweated profusely, HR was through the roof, etc. That was the last time i took that.

Ephedrine is a funny creature. The recommrnded dose is 100mg a day. Ephedrine causes hyper sensitivity to cortisol, but it fat oxidizing far outweight the coristol issue. I just wouldnt take it after a cycle when cortisol is high, you are already struggling to keep gains. At first you will feel the jolt then you will get used to it, however, just because you cant feel it anymore, doesnt mean its not working. Infact it is working better. I cant remember how long you can take it for before you have to cycle it, but I would look up that info, its very important as I know long term use will burn out your adrenal glands.

I forgot, I think the ephedrine is 1 part to 10 parts caffeine (someone correct me if Im wrong). Its not an exact science either, a lot of people use a 25mg pills of ephedrine and a 200mg pill of caffeine. :)

So basically you've seen somewhere that the recommended serving a day is 100mg? thats pretty high, i thought about something more like 40/200...

anyway just to be clear, i dont cycle anything beside a protein powder (actually you dont cycle a protein powder but u get my poenta) and didnt start taking any ephedrine im just asking to expand my knowledge since maybe ill take it in the future.

thanks again for all the replys this forum is really the best place to ask those type of questions.

I dont consider 100mg high, considering that is 4 25mg pills. At least thats the dosage they used to come in. :48:

Ive taken 2 25mg pills at a time (50mg) and this fat guy I worked with took 13 25mg pills over the course of the day. LOL. He eventually had a heart attack. I was surprised. He lived though. :) I honestly dont know if it matters whether the stomach is full or empty. Sorry. :)

I've tried the ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirine stack thing. It was great as a workout boost, except I experienced extreme burnout after my workout rather than feeling refreshed.

A little info on ephedrine. First, the reccomended dose is NO MORE than 100 mg per 24 hours for 12 weeks. This is a high dose, and should be worked up to slowly if you choose to use it. With caffeine, it is most effective at a 10:1 ratio (200 mg caffeine, 20 mg Ephedrine). DO NOT TAKE IT WITH YOHIMBE!!!!!! I would avoid it on an empty stomach. It also suppresses appetite. I found it most effective when divided into the maximum amount of doses per day (1 pill 4 times per day versus 2 pills 2 times per day) Be very careful with it, and go slowly as every ones tolerance is very different. Pure ephedrine also reacts very differently from standardized extracts of ephedra. It is a good idea also to start slow with each bottle, as the time of harvest affects the ephedrine content, and just because you took 2 pills once before form the same brand does not mean that two pills form the new bottle will be the same. It is a very effective tool if used responsibly, but needs to have caution exercised with it.

Yes, it should be cycled also. After 12 weeks, the receptors begin to downgrade.
