Question

Hair loss and fat burners


Question - I used a fat cutting stack of primeatine, caff. and asprin. I used it for about a year without cycling athough I did get some results my hair started to receid. Up until this time I had no hair loss (age 35 now 39) and after I stopped so did my hair loss but it never grew back.I have body fat left from when I was young and chubby.

My question is I would like to try a commercial fat burner like ripped fuel with ephedra. Is this the same as substance as primatine? I afraid to start up my hair loss again. Any suggestion or input would be greatly appriciated.Did anyone else ever experience hair loss from these?
Thanks Taco:confused:

I've been using ECA for some time now. My hair is falling out any way. Genetic. I can't say ECA made it worse. I think there is no connection with ECA and hairloss.

I have to agree with Steve. Here is a great link for ephedra facts.

Thanks for the info guys. One more question, do you know if ephedra and ephedrine are the same?
Thanks again - Taco

Ephedrine is a central nervous system stimulant and decongestant that is structurally similar to the amphetamines. Ephedrine is effective for relieving bronchial asthma, but increases heart rate and blood pressure. Ephedra and ephedrine are used interchangably, and it can be manufactured from an herb or synthetically.
