is the ECA stack bad for your heart?

[MASSIVEMONSTER]

been using the ECA stack before cv past few mornings and its awesome stuff,. i can do an hour straight easy on low carbs. After though i am buzzing for hours like i am on cocaine. is it bad for your heart or not?

i dont think its "bad" for your heart, just so long as you arent doing very intense cardio while on it....

if you have a pre-existing condition, anything that stresses the system can be dangerous. running, coffee, excitement, etc. ECA per se is just a way of increasing thermogenesis and isnt in and of itself dangerous. I dont even think it raises BP or heart rate to any significant degree (altho I'd have to check that) - it works by raising body temp which burns away fat

its also decreases your appetite

i used to be able to use that stuff, like 7-8 years ago. if i do that now, at 34, i think something bad might happen. don't rely on that solely. try and find other alternatives when you can.

well you can assume its not "good" for you. it messes with your CNS. alright when used in decent doses but can be dangerous like anything else.

ease into it for awhile, and dont abuse it. You will be fine.
