Ingredient Review - Ephedrine

True ephedrine alkaloids are the real McCoy, and when they're stacked with caffiene and aspirin pre-cursor white willow bark (especially in a 1:8:4 or 1:10:4 ratio of ephedrine to caffiene to aspirin alkaloids in the ECA stack), then the effects are truly authentic among fat burning substances. Before the ban, the Ma-Huang form of ephedra was so dominant that many believed that it was the only herbal variant available. Now with even stronger versions post ban such as Sida Cordifolia some have stepped up the traditional ECA stack with the addition of sinephrine, which has potent fat burning capabilities. Synephrine is substantially effective, but I suspect that it may have blood thinning effects, although mild enough to still be considered safe. Even considering ephedrine's ability to massively target the [B fat receptor site] signature overall, the real explosion of truth concerns its potent anti-catabolic capabilities.

Ephedrine directs fat burning activity towards lipids (and away from muscle cells) so well, it actually preserves more lean mass than dieting alone, provided all other factors being equal. This is a boon anyone trying to preserve and condition lean muscle. If one can preserve lean mass, while accentuating fat loss, then the body starts to take on more of shapely appearance of desired proportions. The extra lean mass preserved brings out one's natural figure or physique, since its preservation was managed, and not sacrificed through traditional modes of calorie restriction. In addition, strength is better maintained with the inclusion of ephedrine in one's fat loss program, in part due to its benefical effects on contractile strength through neurological amplification. To counteract the vasoconstriction effects of ephedrine and caffiene over time, one might want to consider investing in NO2 supplements, whose nitric oxide acitivation through Arginine AKG/KIC can expand the arterial wall enough to mitigate both diystolic and systolic pressure. Either way, ephedrine is still the ideal fat burning substance that really lived up to its name.
