Using ephedrine as stimulant for pre workout

[mckalister]

how much ephedra can you take before work out, and also i wanted know if you can take it together with pre workout powder, i got creatine mono hydrate, or it would be too much to combine? I heard ephedra might raise your blood pressure and it might get worst taking creatine, any thoughts on this? thank you.

guys will use the EC or ECA stack. which is ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin

it will suppress appetite and slightly improve metabolism. but there are sides which the aspirin will help offset.

creatine would have no affect on it

I have ran the EC stack a bunch of times to crush appetite. I find ephedrine to be much more harsh than caffeine so I would just take caffeine if you are using it pre workout. 100-200mg is plenty.

This article explains what the ECA stack is and how it works -> https://www.evolutionary.org/eca-stack-lose-fat

You would NOT want to stack a stimulant based pre-workout supplement with the ECA stack. That would be way too many stimulants. You can stack a pre-workout with it, but it has to be a stimulant free version.

As for creatine. Creatine is a protein. It is not a hormone or a stimulant. It will not effect blood pressure in any way. That being said, a lot of flavoured creatine supplements have stimulants like caffeine added which will increase blood pressure. Either get a bulk creatine monohydrate powder or a capsulated creatine product like ancient strength from n2bm.com.
