ECA stack...

sarabear85 · 06-08-2008, 03:42 PM

has anyone tried the ECA stack? I hear a lot of mixed reviews on it. I decided to do more research before getting it, I got Gaspari thyrotabs instead for now...anyone ever use those?

I did my senior paper in undergrad on the ECA stack. Long story short, it works and works well. And it tends to be well-tolerated if not abused.

From experience, I recommend taking one day per week where you do not take it though. This helps to avoid adrenal burnout and feeling like you "need" the ECA stact to get through the day.

Best,

But since Ephedrine is banned, what can you use instead? Any good Ephedrine imitation?

Ephedrine is NOT banned. Ephedra is banned for weight loss supplements. You can buy Ephedrine (Bronkaid, Primatene, etc) at any pharmacy. Just walk up to the counter and ask for them.

Caffiene pills (or coffee), Bronkaid and aspirin is a great stack! ECA for the win!

It's marketed as a nasal decongestant on most Canadian supplement websites. The bottle still says ephedrine though...you can buy it legally that way and it's cheap as hell.

i found it on netnutri.com

but come to think of it, it said it was not in stock...so maybe that just means they had it when it wasnt illegal and now they dont...hmm

i really want to try it, but i dont know where else to get it

Is this the right stuff? http://www.fixfitness.com/index.asp?...ROD&ProdID=371

I have tried a bunch and looking for a real buner that works.

It would be way cheaper to create your own ECA stack rather than buying one.

Ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin are so easy to get your hands on and very cheap.

Check out www.hotnfit.com/ecstack

And as Nicole said, in Canada, ephedrine is freely available from supplement stores (advertised as a decongestant).

Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but I did have a quick question. My body is pretty sensitive to the ECA stack which means I get very amped up and that 3rd dose in late afternoon keeps me awake at night and I toss and turn. Would I still get some benefits from taking the ECA in the morning and around lunch time and just skip that last dose?

The ECA stack is a stimulant, so there is no need to take it before going to bed since it awakens the nervous system, causing you to feel jittery. I only took it twice a day: one dose 30 minutes before breakfast and one dose 15 minutes before a workout, about an hour after eating.
