as far as natural (those weight-loss supplements. I currently use
this for focus/concentration (ADD), but now I am wondering about a little confusing wording, and also overall effectiveness (works great, but could it work better? tried Adderal for the first time Sunday to help with getting a lot of work done to get caught up before the upcoming end of the quarter, and wow it's awesome, but obviously useless for me because I can't get a prescription and obviously can't get it for daily use unless I really want to go broke the illegal route. But I've determined ephedrine works quite well and is nearly on the same level, but obviously amphetamine is a much better CNS stimulant than ephedrine, of which is then worlds better compared to caffeine (of which I have essentially ditched for focus, the side effects have a negative effect usually).
however, yellow bullet is detailed (both on the page and on the bottle) as having ephedra contents standardized to 25mg ephedra group alkaloids. I understand the group alkaloids... but other products list 10mg ephedrine group alkaloids. Is there a difference between ephedra group alkaloids versus ephedrine alkaloids? Am I possibly getting less than 25mg of ephedrine? Most assorted ephedrine products seem to have 10mg of ephedrine, with 25mg of ephedrine in a single pill being kind of hard to find. But I remember everyone describing yellow jackets as having been powerful... so? anyone have a take in this?
and, would it be better, or would ephedrine be more effective, if I got it in ephedrine HCl form (synthesized versus natural plant material extract)? It seems to be commonly found with guaifenesin in the pills that have ephedrine HCl in them, which is an expectorant. Is this something that is bad to take on a daily basis? And, would it improve overall breathing ability and thus oxygen intake? I can't see that being a bad thing, and if I could breathe better and get more oxygen, maybe I'd have less headaches too (caffeine can help a lot of my headaches (they are not caffeine headaches. I've had those before too... I don't take in a LOT of caffeine and typically only take the daily amount that's in my current Yellow Bullet caps), but caffeine dilates blood vessels in the brain, which as a direct result means more better blood flow and more oxygen delivery. Is the oxygen or the caffeine itself doing the headache healing.. i dunno). I do tend to produce a bit of phlegm as it is, well I cough crap up a lot but I'm not sure if it's lung phlegm or just nasal drainage in the back of my throat.
just wondering if anyone has a take in this. concentration in class is lacking, and homework is a bitch due to lack of conceptual understanding, as well as the whole attention span issue.
