How long do you guys take ephedrine

Hey guys, I know all about your receptors becoming immune to ephredrine and all that after a certain period time. the question is regarding taking it only once a day in the morning before cardio to get my HR up quicker. how long do you guys take your ECA before giving it a rest? so far i have seen my heart rate rise more rapidly while doing cardio, but i dont want to lose that effect. i've only been on for 4 weeks.

i was told your central nervous system will adapt to the ephedra..

but it will still produce the same fat burning affects even though you dont feel "high"

i've heard that as well...my main concern here is the increase in heart rate....i have been taking it because the elevated HR while doing cardio allows me to get in my fat burn zone quicker and therefore burn fat longer during cardio. i hope this effect doesnt dissipate after time.

yeah i know what your saying.. it takes me 2 min to get into my target zone..

i really dont see the point in stress over a minute.. if it takes you 5min to get to your zone.. do your cardio 5min longer

2 weeks and your body starts to become immune. thus you hear of the clen and ECA switch. i would just take it in the morning with some extra l-tyrosine to keep the ECA working. somewhere around 4-5g's a day.
