    Need REAL Answers: Taking N.O.-preworkouts while on E.C.

    Sup guys,
    I want to know the truth behind it. I've read here and there that they have contradicting effects. The NO constricts the vessels so that there's quicker flow of oxygen, while ephedrine opens them up.

    Someone has got to know the truth behind this. What are the advantages/disadvantages of taking the 2 together.

    I've taken pre-workouts alone, EC alone, and both together and i've noticed different results. But what's really going on in my body when taking them at the same time, or even the same day?

    It. is. fine.

    stop. worrying.

    the NO products barely contain enough arginine to be effective like that. Unless you're taking heaps of arginine, you need not worry youngling

    First of all, the E constricts and the NO products open up, you have it backwards.

    Secondly, make sure that if the NO product has caffeine, you count that as the C in the EC stack for that does.

    Thirdly, Ephedrine may hurt your pump (never noticeably for me), but if you are taking an EC stack I assume fat loss is your goal, so it is likely that the fat burning effects of Ephedrine outweigh the vasoconstriction.
