Will someone help me please?!? questions about ephedra

[marcboarder]

Hey I'm sure this has been gone over before, but I'm very interested in taking ephedra as apart of my supplement regimen. I've read alot of articles saying its freakin deadly as hell... is this really that true? I've got a strong heart and good blood pressure... What size dose per day is dangerously high and what size dose is safe... please help i'd really appreciate it

If you don't have pre existing heart/BP/anxiety/prostrate conditions ephedra is generally safe.
Myself I only use ephedrine HCL for the most important training days due to a history of heart arrhythmias. I take one 25mg tab before deadlifts, and two before powerlifting competitions.
Ephedra is a herbal version and has weaker effects per mg. Every product has different consentration levels of active ingrediates. Try a small dose (1/2 what the label recommends) and go from there. If you get the shakes you know you've used to much. If your heart skips a beat then I suggest you stop using it completely.

I believe it is illegal in California.

I use to take it all the time, gives you a slight buzz, like everything, you build a tolerance to it, and then have to up the dosage.

There are a lot of other supplements, that are better so don’t worry about finding the best ephedra

Ephedra is perfectly safe provided you are reasonable with your dosages and don't come to rely on it for energy. be very careful if there is any history of heart trouble, high blood pressure, that sort of thing in your family. I've used it off and on for over ten years with tremendous results. be careful with it and you should be fine.
