Hi. I am working out and wanting to lose more weight and have more energy. What is the difference between ephedra and ephedrine and what are some good brands. Thanks!

ephedrine is an alkaloid found in ephedra, the main one that gives you your desired effect. so if you were to get ephedra you'd have to know if it was standardized to 25mgs of ephedrine per serving or whatnot b/c that's around the normal dose along with 200mg caffeine and OPTIONAL 300 of aspirin... I don't know where your from but ephedra is banned in a lot of places, but you can get primatene (not sure on spelling) it has ephedrine HCL in it, can get it at most CVS's as an asthma medication.. also has guistefein in it (again bad spelling) but it's pretty hard these days to get straight up ephedrine so that's prob ur best bet

and make sure to bring a photo ID because they WILL ask for it when purchasing the ephedrine

Ok sweet, I found a few web pages that sell ephedrine HCL but thats all it comes with no other ingredients. Would that be best to take over something such as Yellow Bullet that has both ephedrine and caffeine ect?

as long as you get 25mg ephedrine HCL and 200mg caffeine your good, if its in the same pill or 2 different ones, its the same thing.. dont start out with that dose though id start out with 8/10 mg ephedrine and 100 mg caffeine once a day, then the same twice a day, then 3 times a day, something like that tapering up until you get to 25mg ephedrine 200mg caffeine 3 times a day, spread out the 3 doses at least 4 hours apart and its best taken 30 mins before a meal
