Why take asprin with ephedra??

**cajun2577** · 01-23-2004, 06:49 PM

I am just wondering what it does or how does it make it better.

It does, it thins your blood...So i guess that enables your heart to be able to pump more blood and oxygen throughout your body at a time when you're doing any kind of cardio.

Although its common to say that aspirin thins your blood, that doesn't mean that your blood is less viscous or that your body can oxygenate better because of it. Aspirin doesn't necessarily "thin" the blood, it inhibits platelet aggregation, making it more difficult for your body to form clots.

If I remember correctly, and this is going back to my earlier pharmacology classes, prostaglandin may inhibit norepinephrine release. Aspirin is a prostaglandin inhibitor. Why is this important for ephedra? Ephedra, or actually ephedrine, causes norepinephrine release. Therefore, taking aspirin, which would block the effect of prostaglandin, may potentiate the effect of ephedrine on norepinephrine release.

Does that make things clearer?

hey so you know, some of the later ephedra formulas (md 6 by biotest being one off the top of my head) didnt even have aspirin because it supposedly didnt do much to help with fat loss or absorption and supposedly was damaging. (just what i read)

Sinista is right on...asprin and ephedrine are synergistic.
