How To Apply The ECA Stack:

Ephedrine and Caffeine work together in a synergistic fashion. The effects of the Ephedrine/Caffeine/Aspirin stack together are greater than the sum of each of their effects on their own.

The ECA stack helps to increase weight loss, heighten athletic performance, and boost energy. There is some conjecture as to the importance of aspirin in the ECA stack. It is believed that asipirin increases lipolytic activity and acts as a prostaglandin inhibitor.

Standard ECA Stack Dosage: (*the optimal ratio is E:C:A=1:10:3 )

• Ephedrine 20-30mg
• Caffeine 200mg (equal to roughly 2.5 cups of coffee)
• Aspirin 75mg

Ephedrine Dosing Schedules:

Depending on body weight and weight loss goals, dosing schedules may vary for ephedrine. Dosages should not exceed 75-100mg of ephedrine in a 24 hour period. The ECA stack should be taken on an empty stomach preferably 45 minutes to 1 hour before meals no more than 3 times per day. When starting the ECA stack, it's recommended to start with only one dosage (recommended dosage) per day, preferably 30 minutes before your workout, 30 minutes before breakfast or first thing in the morning.

The dosing schedule for the ECA stack is usually split into two or three separate doses(20-50mg) throughout the day.

How To Cycle The ECA Stack:

A few studies have demonstrated ephedrine can depress the beta andrenergenic response within only one week. The adrenal glands can become fatigued while using ephedrine, which, after a number of weeks, can have a catabolic effect on muscles through increased cortisol production. This is why it's a good idea to cycle the ECA stack.

Eventually, the individual becomes used to the effects of the initial dosage and will need to increase the dosage. It has been determined that 3 doses per day is the maximum an individual should consume, with the final dose taken before 6pm to avoid any potential sleep problems.

The length of the ECA cycle length should be limted to no more than than 12 weeks, depending on how long it takes the individual to reach his/her goals. After an ECA cycle, it's recommended to take at least 12 weeks off from another ECA stack, in order to limit any potentential over-dependance issues or other harmul side effects.

Never take ephedrine longer than 4 weeks without a break or the drug may become harmful.

Tips And Warnings For The ECA Stack:

• Ephedrine will burn fat and supercharge metabolism, but ephedrine will also burn muscle if you're not weight training or maintaining caloric intake.
• Maintain caloric intake to give yourself plenty of energy to power through workouts. Ephedrine will also suppress your appetite.
• The ECA stack will facilitate fat loss within the first few weeks even if you don't exercise. Naturally, the ECA stack will be much more effective when used in combination with diet and exercise.
• The ECA stack, like any supplement or prescription medication, can be dangerous. Ephedrine, by itself, will increase heart rate. When ephedrine is combined with caffeine, it can be a little intense and takes some getting used to.
