Ephedra

[jerkymerk 0]

Just wondering if anyone out there had tryed ephedra? I heard it can be very bad for you, doubling your heart rate or sometimes trippling it,know that its in sudafed but just in a smaller dose.

So I was thinking about going and buying a bottle of ephedra and going for a skate to see if there was any difference. Being on the ice 3-4 hours a day everyday takes a toll on my body, so any advantage would help.

I was also told that I would have to take 5-10 pills to feel anything because they come in 8mg pills.

Sounds like a great plan. What could possibly go wrong?

My thoughts are that there are no ill effects from staying natural. Ephedra has been well researched and a number of credible sources have stated it's effects on the cardiovascular system. It's your heart we are talking about here......I wouldn't touch the stuff or risk it. Way too much at stake.

Ephedra is not as bad as some people think, thats if and only if its taken in MODERATION. I'm not a big coffee or energy drink person so if I am having a bad morning or was up late the night before I will take 1 tablet and that is enough to get me going.

The people who think you need to pop 5 to 10 pills are the reasons why Ephedra has such a bad name.

Im pretty sure the stuff was involved in some sports related deaths...I would definatly stay away from it...

I thought it got banned after those sports deaths that they linked to ephedra. I don't know if it was ever proven or not but there had to be a scapegoat.

I used to take something called Ripped Fuel by Twinlabs years ago and it was really effective at helping me shed weight but the main ingredient was ephedrine. You have to be careful though - one guy I know started taking it after he saw me losing weight and he didn't even read the warning label so he kept on drinking coffee as well. He couldn't understand why he had the shakes all day until I pointed out on the bottle it says don't take caffeine while taking this product!

People can die from an overdose of anything - it's usually idiots that assume if a little bit is good then a lot must be better that end up ruining it for the rest of us.

The 5-10 pills thing is only if you break them up and snort them. If you take them orally, I would suggest a minimum of 15.
