    so ur using it for broncial dialation? It always cleared me up when I used it.....To be honest Id used Ephedrine HCL over Ephedrine....Ephedrine HCL is a more pure form, where as Ehphedrine is i think they call it an alkaloid, but basically its a mixture of alot of different forms of Ephedrine and not all of them are healthy....So basically HCL is the purest and safest form out to my knowledge

    ephedra extract is typically 8% alkaloids:
    breakdown:
    60% pseudoephedrine
    30% ephedrine
    10% other alkaloids

    I have used ephedrine for the first time in 1994 and use it today with great effect. I must admit that my hair did thin and thats a scary part cause ephedra is close to amphtamines effect. I usually cycle the fatburner 3 months on and 3 months off, i dont use it everyday and i never add any cardio vascular problems or jittery or anything else cause i dont overdose, i usually take 1 or 2 pills before training and the effect can last a long time.

    Hope this helps. If taken in the dosage there are virtually no risk from ephedra use unless someone has a heart problem.
