ephedra alternatives

**firedup** · 03-22-2004, 06:59 AM

I did a search in this group and found nothing.
What can I use now that ephedra is banned in NY? Is there a similar alternative?
How do the ephedra free products work with out the ‘real’ ingredient?
And for all you chefs out there, how can I make my own Beta 2 agonists ?

Use Ephedrine HCL, it is not banned....

before u go insearch of ephedra , and still use ephedra as part of your fatburning diet , try xenadrine nrg 8 hour power .......... since i think its the only thermogenic which works and will cut just the way u want your body too ....... plus there are more peeps on this forum who will agree with me , i am glad there is something out there that works without ephedra . cheers

I don't think it is as good as ephedra but I heard L -Carnitine helped promote fat loss.

Anyone agree?

It actually might even be better than Ephedrine, provided it does what "they" claim it to do. Think of ephedrine as starting at step one of the fat burning process, Xenadrine NRG starts at step two.....

I also like the fact that it doesn't stimulate the Sympathetic nervous system.

i do agree wiht l-cartinine , i use 500 mg dose of that with the xenadrine nrg , and i can loose a 5lb margin , in one week and keep it off with both combined ............ and the l-cartinine works great for post workout recovery ......... i use them both as a combo , works great for me ..........

ZOAIB how does the l-carnitine work for your PW recovery?

**cb25** · 03-22-2004, 08:48 PM

look for Bronkaid at the drugstore...it's 25mg of ephedrine HCl

**baller45** · 03-22-2004, 10:23 PM

acetyl-l-carnitine

**zOaib** · 03-23-2004, 08:56 PM

for my post workout , i dont feel drained out in my muscles , as much as i used to , it definately made a difference , but i have seen i recover faster if i take 1000 mg per day rather than 500 mg of l- cartinine ......... it sure does make a difference , thats not just my opinion.

acetyl-l-carnitine will give you the nerve excitement

This is the good stuff -HCL is the form of ephedrine that goes into over the counter medicine which is used as a broncodiolator. It is controlled so you have a much better chance of getting the exact dose when compared to taking the herb ephedra which can vary.

It's like $7.00 for 60 tabs, then go buy caffeine, $12 for 200 (200mg) and asprin 325 mg is like $4 for 1000 at sams club or costco. Very effective.
