: : OK, FIRST I will not post something unless I know what I'm talking about! Period! Next Point--
: : PPA is called Phenylpropanolamine. What is this? It is the isomers of NORpseudoephedrine.
: : I did not say pseudoephedrine. PPA is a very close relative of ephedrine. PPA, ephedrine,
: : pseudoephedrine all work the same way--simply by stimulating the adrenals to release more
: : adrenaline. So, in practice, these compounds are all interchangeable. The only difference
: : is in potency. PPA and ephedrine are about equipotent--actually PPA has been shown to be
: : a little better. Psuedoephedrine is much weader so stay away from it.
: : NOw, ecdysterone has been shown to be very anabolic in animals and in humans--it is well
: : documented that it is biolically active. Stop listening to everything Phillips says in
: : MM2000! B-Ecdysterone is available in purified form in the Eastern Block countries and
: : is taken as an anabolic. The Zebutol that gymrat took was probably the real, potent stuff.
: : I would not even mention someone to take the herbal form because of bioavailability problems.
: : However, if I can get the pure compound then I will offer it! I will continue to do research
: : on it and post my results.
: : Keep up the fight
: : Unique
: What if you took a high dose of pseudoephedrine? Would that make up for it's lack of mg per mg strenght? ie If ephedrine is five times as strong mg/mg as pseudoephedrine, would taking a dose of pseudo five times greater than a regular dose of eph have the same effect?
Good theory but I haven't tried that one. It just might kill you though as it still might raise your blood pressure as does ephedrine in the same per mg rate! It might also dehydrate you severly as I notice greater thirst when I take psuedo than eph. Anarchy in the USA!
