XENADRINE vs. UR OWN E/C/A STACK- what's more effective?

[~SweetChiquita~]

What do you think is more effective for weightloss? Xenadrine or your own ECA stack? I know the main effective ingredients in Xenadrine would be the ma huang, aspirin, and caffeine, but what does the other ingredeients in xenadrine do? Do they help too, making xenadrine more effective, or is a home made ECA stack just as effective?

Xenadrine is basically a HERBAL ECA stack with some
other ingredients which don't do much to increase
its thermogenic effectiveness.

A home-made ECA stack is cheaper AND more thermogenic/
potent.

Assumming of course you're using Ephedrine HCL NOT
Ma-Huang.

The difference is quite VAST.

If Ephedrine HCL gets you too wired, you can opt for the less
stimulating but equally thermogenic(actually a tad more
thermogenic) Nor-ephedrine. Also sometimes
called Phenylproponolamine.
It is basically the dextro-isomer of ephedrine.(Its molecular
mirror image).

I prefer making my own.......a bottle of ephedrine from cumberland farms, a bottle of No-dose and a bottle of asprin. Very cheap and works extremely well.

Found a Xenadrine knock-off at our local grocery store that may give you a third option. I compared the ingredients on the labels between Xenadrine and Xena Lean (the knock-off) and they are identical. The Xena Lean is $12.29 for a 120 count bottle here at our big grocery chain in San Antonio and Xenadrine is $26.99 at a good discount supp store here. I'd say for half the price, Xena Lean is the way to go for me. You might try a local pharmacy or grocery store and see if they sell a knock-off brand like I found. I'm sure this Xena Lean stuff isn't a local or even Texas only product, so folks in other parts of the country should be able to find it too.

Sorry, it's called Xeta Lean, and it's made by a company called Nature's Bounty.

Here's a link to Xeta Lean on their website....compare the ingredients for yourself and look for it in a local store...

I cant remember the guys name but someone on the anabolic discussion board here is selling bottles of Xenadrine for the 15 or 16 dollars a bottle and if you buy a certain amount of bottles it is even cheaper. Place a post on the site and he will probably get back to you or someone can tell you who he is. Good luck. Also I have tried the E/C/A homeade stack int he past with great results. Never took Xenadrine but all the feedback I here is positive.
