Ephedrine

Ephedrine stimulate effect

Ephedrine is a stimulant drug, belonging to a group of medicines known as sympathomimetics. Specifically it is both an alpha and beta adrenergenic agonist (you may remember Clenbuterol is a selective beta-2 agonist). In addition, Ephedrine enhances the release of nor epinephrine, a strong endogenous alpha agonist. The action of this compound is notably similar to that of the body's primary adrenergic hormone epinephrine (adrenaline), which also exhibits action toward both alpha and beta receptors. When administered, this steroid will notably increase the activity of the central nervous system, as well as Ephedrine have a stimulatory effect on other target cells. This will produce a number of effects beneficial to the athlete. For starters, the user's body temperature should rise slightly as more free fatty acids are produced from the breakdown of triglycerides in adipose tissue (stimulating the metabolism). This should help the user shed subcutaneous body fat stores, enhancing the look of definition in the physique. The anabolic effectiveness of steroids may also be increased with this substance (mildly), as the metabolic rate is a measure of fat, protein and carbohydrate conversion by the body. An enhanced metabolic state could clearly hasten the deposit of new muscle mass.

Ephedrine advantage

This stimulant effect of Ephedrine will also increase the force of skeletal muscle contractions. For this reason this drug is commonly used by power lifters before a competition, as the resultant (slight) strength and energy increase can clearly improve the weight totals on major lifts. Ephedrine may also provide a notable mental edge, as the user is more energetic and better able to concentrate on the tasks ahead. Many recreational weight lifters find this effect particularly welcome, and use 25-50mg as a regular adjunct to their training sessions. The user often feels capable of attacking the weights with much more intensity while taking Ephedrine, and leaves the gym knowing they will have had a more productive workout. It is important that that substance not be used continuously for this purpose, as its effect will diminish as the body becomes accustomed to the drug. In most instances the user will take the drug only two or three times per week, usually on those days personally "important" (like chest day). The athlete is also wise to take a break (one to two months) from Ephedrine treatment after several weeks have past, so as to continue receiving the optimal effect. While the strength boosting effect is noteworthy, the primary application for Ephedrine remains to be as a cutting agent. The athlete will generally take Ephedrine a few times daily during dieting phases of training, at a dosage of 25 to 50mg per application. The widely touted stack of Ephedrine (25-50mg), caffeine (200mg) and aspirin (300mg) is shown to be extremely potent for fat loss. In this combination, Ephedrine and caffeine both act as notable thermogenic stimulants. The added aspirin also helps to inhibit lipogenesis by blocking the incorporation of acetate into fatty acids. The athlete will be sure this stack is working by noticing an increase in body temperature, usually a degree or so (not an uncomfortable raise). This combination is taken two to three times daily, for a number of consecutive weeks. It is discontinued once the user's body temperature drops back to normal, a clear sign Ephedrine is no longer working as desired. At this point increasing the dosages would not prove very efficient. Instead a break of several weeks should be taken, so that Ephedrine stack may once again work at an optimal level.
