"What dosages should I take?
The ideal ratio for the ECA stack is 10:1 caffeine to ephedrine. Many sources suggest that the ideal dosage is 25mg ephedrine, 250mg caffeine and 80-300mg aspirin."

25mg Ephedrine HCL
200mg Caffeine

Forget all about the asprin, you don't need it (it 'slightly' extends the half-life of the Eph, but not enough to justify the abuse it will do on your system in other ways)

Take the 25mg Eph/200mg Caf three time a day max. I you haven't used this kind of 'stack' before, start out at 12mg/100mg caf and see how that goes.

EVERYONE reacts differntly to stimulants, and you may or may not be over-stimulated with the above dose.

Use common sense and a lot of caution when using anything like this.

I have used the Ma Huang based supplements such as the original Hydroxycut about 6 years ago. So are you saying the "A" part of the "ECA" stack makes no difference?

That's exactly what I'm saying

If you took that stack 3 times a day, you'd never sleep. I wouldn't be able to stop my hands from shaking.

One has always been enough for me. I take it right before a workout, then I'm set.

That stack was the best when you could get pure Dimetadrine 25 (ephedrine hcl). One of those and a Vivarin and you're good to go.

Everyone's tollerance will differ.

I've taken far more than that today alone and I'm fine, with no visable shakes or anything out of the ordinary.

But your point is well taken and extreme care should be used whenever one is using stimulants.

Not banned per se where I live (TN), but it's pretty controlled. GNC stores wont sell it...I know that goes pretty much nationwide though for GNC. You cant buy more than 1 or 2 (dont recall cus I dont buy the stuff) bottles of ephedra pills at a time at any given store....it's used in the manufacturing of METHAMPHETAMINE.

I've never liked the way ephedra based or including pills made my heart feel no matter how little I took. Just my feedback.

No it's not.

norephedrine (aka PPA, aka phenylpropanolamine) WAS used in the manufacture of methamphetamines and crystal meth.

Hence it was made illegal and removed from the market about 2 years ago.

You can not distill Ephededrine HCL into meth though...

So... if you follow the directions on the bottle and take an ephedrine stack product 3 times a day, you won't have a stroke? Does it work better when you take that much? Like, wouldn't that keep your body temperature amped up and help burn calories?

I can handle 2 times a day, but I work with my hands and I can't afford to be shaky.

I've met a few dumb fucks (teenagers) who like taking 9 Stackers while on E. No wonder ephedra is illegal and people are croakin' out. Man, I wasn't even that stupid when I was that age.

Everyone will react differently to these kinds of stimulants. Further, everyone will reacat differently to them from day to day based on thier diet, mental state, rest, ect...

Always start off with very small doses and then increase slowly every day or so. The half-life of Eph is around 6 hours, so don't take more than a single dose every 6 hours or so. And remember that even after 6 hours, you'll still have half of the active in your system.

Example
6am: 25mg taken
12noon: 12.5mg still active in system.
6pm: 6.25mg still active in system.

Start small and work up if you so desire. But be careful always.
