ECA Stack, your comments

[wildonsquats]

I'm looking to start an ECA stack (did a search and all appropriate research) and i'm wondering whether I should go with one of the all-in-one thermogenic combinations that are available out there (which is tough since alot of them have now been pulled off the shelves because of ephedrine content), OR, should I just create a stack myself:

25 mg ephedrine
200 mg caffeine
100 mg aspirin

before morning cardio, once before lifting session and maybe one in between when i get used to it

Also coming off the ephedrine every 2 months so my body doesnt get so used to it.

On a side note, I went to GNC (Canada) and was only able to find 8mg ephedrine tabs and 100mg caffeine tabs, anyone know where to get them in higher dosages? I don't want to be taking about 20 pills every day

Childrens aspirin (86mg) should work fine i think.

Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks.

The pure ingredients are better than the herbal extracts.

Go with the Ephedrine HCL, Caffeine, & Aspirin stack.

Cheapest source of Caffeine I've seen:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sf/caffeine.html
Sci-Fit Caffiene - 200mg, 200 capsules for $6.94

Most of the Ephedrine HCL tablets you'll see on the market are now 8mg. However, the pills are about the size of a Tic-Tac.

8mg x3 = 24mg of Ephedrine, pretty good dose.

Well I went to the shop today, got 8mg tabs of ephedrine so thats 3x per dose, 200mg tabs of caffeine 1x per dose and then i got the low dose aspririn 81mg 1x per dose.

These aspirin are coated for no upset stomach. Will that affect anything at all?

2 or 3 times daily of the above cocktail should be good. Thanks for all the replies.

I thought the aspirin was like 2 or 300? per dose. And how do you guys take it 3x/day if I take it too late I stay up all night?

asprin isnt neccessary so you can take it at any dose you want... I take it three times a day on days I wake up before 10. Usually at 9am, 1pm, 5pm.

start with 2 tabs the first couple times you take it.. just so you get used to it... dont want your heart to explode...

that asprin should be fine

iv always got more out of a NYC stack then any ECA stack i would drop the Asprin 30mg Ephdrine HCI and a big cup of folgers coffee very black is a cheap and effective way to go, get you moving damn good at 5:00AM

I'd love to get some NYC but I don't think thats it's available in Canada, nor do they ship out here. I'm not quite sure though, at least thats what I saw on the AF store for the NYC+.

If anyone knows how I could get some, pm me or post a reply, thanks.

Kinda weird, you Canadians cant order Yohimbine HCL but we can in the USA, but you can get Ephedrine HCL and we really cant.

Ephedrine HCL isnt completely illegal in the US, but bulk sales are illegal and there are regulations on the amount of ephedrine in each pill, etc. This basically means that apart from Mini-Thins and a few other products, pure Ephedrine HCL is impossible to come buy and has to get imported. Customs tracks every bottle bought from internet sites/catalogs/etc. and if you buy enough, you'll get a knock on the door from the DEA, so anyone ordering from the US be careful.

Wow, I had no idea that they were cracking down on ephedrine so hard. I guess it's time for me to visit my friend in Seattle and just pick it up there.

Heres what I'm taking... I know it blows me away with energy but I'm not sure if the fat burning effects are all there....I don't take this every day by the way, once before workout, but not before cardio..probably like 2-3 times a week maybe.

32mg ephedrine
325mg asprin
200mg caffine

I wouldn't jump straight into that dosage though. I started using Xenadrine back in the day and i started with 24mg ephedrine at the beginning. I know some people take like 50mg dosages of ephedrine but thats dangerous
