    what exactly does it do?
    Quoting me:
    Ephedrine inside the body produces Noradreneline (NA) which then attachs to the beta receptor which in turn stimulates the G Protein. The alpha subunit attachs to the enzyme Adenylate Cyclase and activates it. The adenylate cyclase continues to produce Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) which contines down the thermogenic pathway. There are a couple roadblocks to prevent this from happen. NA's productions is inhibited by prostanglins which is where the aspirin comes into play. Aspirin works to inhibit the production of prostanglins allowing for NA to be produced in a greater quanitity. cAMP is also inhibited by phosphodiesterase (PDE). That is where caffeine plays its part, caffeine inhibits PDE activity allowing cAMP to go down the thermogenic pathway.
    how long does it take before it works? / see results?
    Works? 1/2 hour. See results? All depends on your dedication.
    how many should i take? i have 100 pills, and i take 6 a day,
    Dosage of the pills?

    will i need to buy more or should this be a good amount?

    8mg each, 6 pills = 48mg

    it was more about all of my supplements i take. i wanted a more direct thread on my questions about ephedrine. didnt think it would be a problem.

    and i still dont know why i shouldnt take creatine with ephedrine, people keep saying its bad but not saying why

    You will need more pills than that. You need to take 9 of those pills per day for get the full effect of ECA.

    It's not bad, it just doesn't make any sense. CM is used for bulking, you take ephedrine to cut. It's a waste to take both at once. You will get unnecessary bloat from the cm that will skew results in the mirror and on the scale.

    2 weeks on and off. Do it for as long as you need. Do the math to figure out how much you need.
