Ive tried it a few times it gives you a real boost, but to be honest they are some legal products out there that give you a good boost, plus they dont have scary side effects. Just my opinion, if you get something like NO explode or something like that it should give you a good boost. Some people are misinformed about ephedra, some think that if you take it you will loose wait or cut up, the fact is all it does is give you energy so you can workout and loose wieght, long story short im not a big fan of it. Good luck to you though, hope this was somewhat helpfull
You haven't read about the science behind ECA have you? ECA stack is not just for a boost of energy. It works heavily on your CNS, increasing heart rate slightly, along with caffiene for extra stimulation. Asprin has been shown to block certain chemicals that try to hold on to fat while you try to burn it. It also thins the blood slightly which they think might help keep thermogenisis going longer.
HERES SOME INFO:
Mechanism of effect in weight loss
The effects of the ECA stack in weight loss are primarily due to the ephedrine component. Ephedrine acts both as a beta agonist and stimulates the release of noradrenaline. Increased circulating noradrenaline in the body then acts on white adipose tissue by increasing cAMP levels. This causes a thermogenic effect, raising body temperature by about 2 degrees (•c or •f?) and increasing the user's metabolism by 10% in conjunction with the rest of the stack.
However, the body's Negative feedback system then activates to normalize the metabolism. This is done via the production of phosphodiesterase inside the cells, and prostaglandins outside the cell, which both lower cAMP levels within the cell.
Caffeine inhibits the production of phosphodiesterase inside the cell and therefore slows the cAMP breakdown. It also, by binding with and competitively inhibiting adenosine receptors in the brain, triggers the release of adrenaline which increases cAMP levels further.
Aspirin inhibits prostaglandin production outside of the cells, which, in conjunction with caffeine, greatly prolongs the thermogenic effects and increased metabolism by substaining elevated cAMP levels.
Ephedrine also has an anorectic, or appetite suppressant effect. The mechanisms behind this are not fully understood, but this aids in weight loss as well. However, these effects only last for about two weeks if the stack is not cycled as the body becomes tolerant to ephedrine to some degree. It is estimated that 60% – 75% of the weight loss from using the ECA stack comes from the anorectic effect, and the remainder from thermogenesis.
The final component in weight loss of the ECA stack is that of a simple stimulant; the higher adrenaline and noradrenaline levels result in increased aerobic exercise performance and less fatigue.
