First of all, I am not a medical professional and the information below is for entertainment purposes only. It requires you to take ephedrine and caffeine for at least 2 weeks ramping up the dosage. These ingredients were the backbone for the original hydroxycut formulas, the ones that actually worked…
What is it?
Ephedrine and Caffiene act in synergy to supercharge your metabolism, burning more calories at any given time in any given state of exertion. This means that you can carry on your regular routine, consuming the same number of calories and still lose some weight. That said, combining the “stack” with a reduced calorie/carb diet will lead to a much more remarkable results. This isn’t too hard to do while your taking these compounds because they are pretty powerful appetite suppressants. You should be careful to make sure your eating lots of small, protein rich snacks and meals throughout the day so that you don’t waste away too much solid muscle mass or become malnourished. Traditionally, the combination contains asprin to help reduce blood pressure (hence the A in ECA) but usage of the drug for extended periods of time has recently been linked to stomach ulcers so we recommend against using it. If you’re very concerned about your blood pressure, taking half a tab (162.5 mgs) per day probably won’t put you at too much risk.
Where do you get it?
In Canada you can get the two ingredients at any Popeye’s supplement store or online at livepurehealth.com, which is by far the cheapest option. Ephedrine almost always comes in 8mg tablet and Caffiene usually 200mgs, sometimes 100mgs.
How do I use it?
Ephedrine is a pretty powerful stimulant so when combined with caffeine it can lead to anxiety and “jitters.” In order to curb these side effects we work up to the most effective dose of 25mg of ephedrine and 200mgs of caffeine 3 times a day. Do not exceed 6 weeks of use without at least a 12 week break.
Important Notes
- Don’t take this if you are younger than 18 years of age.
- Do not use EC with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOI or any other anti-depressants.
- Do not use EC if you have any sort of heart condition WHATSOEVER, seriously!
- If you’re having trouble sleeping, reduce to only 2 dosages of the stack so 24mgs of ephedrine and 200mgs caffiene twice a day. This is still effective for fatloss and appetite supression.
- The stimulating effects will wear off after about the 14th day but don’t worry the positive impacts on your metabolism are still there.
- Never go over the recomended doseage!

great bunch of information on ephedrine. i think hell lot of knowledge you have about weight loss. i think you are an Medical Professor.
the title is eca stack thats ephedrine caffeine and aspirin, so how much aspirin should you take?
Check out the last two sentences of the "What is it" paragraph, it should answer your question.
How can people sleep on this?
My ephedrine is only 8mg... Foes this meen instead of taking 3(24mg) I should take 9(8mg) pills??? Because that seems a hell of alot!
It would be 9 pills per day it looks like. Thats not too rough if you work up to it but my friend only takes about 6 per and she seems to be doing pretty well on it.
Do nooooot take 9 pils at one time, you'll probably have a heart attack. I think the mg values above are totals and also in 8mg pills... so neverr more than 3 ephedrine pills at a time.
So I want to get the best results possible doing the least amount of work as possible. I know sounds lazy but my days are very long and I dont always have time to work out. I try to do 45min of cardio 3-4 times a week. Do I need to take ECA stack 3x a day inorder to get the best results? I need to lose 24lb and id like to get it done in the next month maybe two (really one) any tips on how to make this work?
WOW some of you idiots should not even be here. Forget about ever using the ECA or EC stack please.
how much aspirin??
why can't you take ECA with SSRI anti-depressants I heard it was safe to take with SSRI? please help
I take a EC product, and over the last 6 months I lost over 20 lbs. They are effective, but do come with side effects. My side effects are; irritibility, anxiousness, and restlessness. I enjoy the weight loss, but I have to put up with these annoying effects. Otherwise, if you want a great workout and lean body, take them ...but not for too long. I went off of them for a month, and noticed a pack of weight gain and food cravings. I'm back on the EC and feel better. Make sure to drink plenty of H2O, otherwise you will dehydrate! Good luck!
Sun that's really helpful dude your insight is so useful to so many. You dumb faggot these people are here for help not to deal with some elitist asshat
