Very dangerous, but it works.

The 'important' ingrediants are ephedrine and caffeine.

I don't know how familiar you are with them. ephedrine is like adrenaline. It rasies pulse, blood preassure, and metabolic rate. Caffiene is a stimulant, raises pulse, raises blood pressure.

If you dont use the products already take it REAL easy on them, use very little at first. One pill of ephedrine is like drinking 10 cups of coffee to me, sometimes it really scares me.

Mixing ephedrine with caffiene is also, dangerous due to the high blood preassure levels and stimulants in the blood.

How ever, you will burn calories faster, and ephedrine is an appitite suppressor.

Just heed the warnings.

oh, and i think there is a 1 out of 1 million chance of instant death. It was this stuff or something simular. Maybe the herbal drops and pills. ya, be careful.

I think Chaotic is right. Even though it's only 1 in a million, the government is looking at banning or limiting sales of stuff with Ephedrine in it. That's a whole seperate discussion though http://discussanything.com/Ubb/smile.gif

Anyway, I tried the stuff, and even as an ex-caffeine junky the stuff left me too wired. I did lose about 10 lbs in the week I was using it though. IF you insist on trying it, follow Adam's advice and start out slow. Pay attention to the dosage limits and 13 wk usage time limit on the bottle too. I read in one fitness magazine of a case where a weightlifter overdid an Ephedrine supplement, and ended up passing a few kidneystones of pure adrenaline!

I'd say the Caffeine is worse than the Ephedrine. I've used Ephedrine for years with no adverse effects. It is not for everybody, and you are not supposed to take unless you are working out. Otherwise yes, it will make you wired as hell.

Ephedrine is not as dangerous as the media would like people to believe. It happens to be a much better fat burner than all the artificial drugs sold by the pharmacuetical companies. Since the pharma cartels run the FDA they put out false stories of Ephedrine being dangerous so they can eventually ban it to rid them of competition for their drugs.

The last thing we need is another law against a natural substance, will people go to prison for using Ephedrine in the future? Will it be classified the same as Coke and Meth? Do we need the government to protect us from everything? If so we should outlaw fast food, It kills more people everyday than Ephedrine ever has in the thousands of years it's been in use.

Drink more water, stay away from sugar when possible, and eat smaller but more frequent meals in the last half of the day.

It will natuarlly increase your metabolism and you will feel better as well.

You could also try taking the stairs whenever possible, helps to get the blood flowing.
