Is ephedra still bad if you take it like once a month?!?!

[Techie333]

I take it once in a while because of exams or essays and stuff. I'm taking it tonight so I can stay awake to write a 2000 word essay. Anyway, is it that bad if you take it like once a month? Can you die from it or somethin?

Complete Ephedra extract isn't bad for you at all. In fact it lowers blood pressure.

Purified Ephedrine = teh no nos.

huh? I thought ephedra was bad and banned. Here's what it says on the back of the banned pills I pop once in a while:

261mg of Proprietary Blend which is: Ephedra Extract (leaves/stems) (25mg ephedrine group alkaloids), Capsicum Annuum (whole pepper), Kola Nut (seeds)(<1mg caffeine group alkaloids), Ginsent (root)

300mg of Caffeine (anhydrous)

It's no worse for you than ice. *shrugs*

once a month's not gonna do you any harm.

i still take it once a day five days a week before workouts/runs.

but if you just want to stay awake, why not just try caffeine pills like no doz?

I buy ephedra alll the time. I don't think they can sell it as pills anymore though.

Its not like the best source of pure ephedrine still isn't benzaldahyde in a biobomb with candida utilis.. That's where it comes from mostly. 55 gallon drums of it from China.

It's not unsafe if you have a brain, ie. don't take 18 at a time, don't take it if your cardiovascular system is in awful shape, if you have a heart condition, smoke or are pregnant, etc. If you have a brain it's a very effective tool for weight loss and muscle retention during the process.

I used to take ephedra all the time and there's nothing wrong with me. Just as long as you follow the instruction you should be good.
