Hey,
Just got my ephedra today and I am ready to start cycling it.
I took it about 9 years ago, was ok with it, but kind of forgot the dosage I took, and how long I took it.

I am wondering; whats the max length of time I should cycle ephedra? Is it dangerous to cycle it for too long?

Also - on a miligram per miligram basis, is there any information known, or studies you guys might know of, that may give a QUANTITATIVE factor of how much ephedra speeds up your metabolism?

For example; say ephedra speeds up your metabolism to 1.5x as fast as normal. Then if your body would burn "N" amount of calories per day without exercising when NOT on ephedra, then it should burn 1.5xN calories per day (without exercising) while on ephedra...

This probably varies from person to person - but regardless, there must be a trend in a general factor as to how much it speeds up your metabolism. If that factor was 1 (meaning, it only sped your metabolism upto 1x as much as it normally is, making the ephedra useless), then noone would take it. If anyone knows this, or knows of any research related to this, or maybe even any research related to the fat burning affects of ephedra, I'd love to know.

Thanks guys
