Is this ECA stack any good?

[markintosh]

Hi, I found <a href="http://www.facmed.unam.mx/bmnd/plm/mex/productos/10502.htm">this</a> EC + paracetamol stack which is available over the counter in Mexico (link in Spanish). This is the only legal resource I could find for Epherine in Mexico.

These are the contents:

Paracetamol..................... 500 mg
Caffeine.............................. 50 mg
Ephedrine HCl......... 5 mg

I was wondering, what would be your recommended dosage for this particular product?

What's with the paracetamol, I know they put asprin in for the stomach which you really don't want to take every day....but paracetamol ? Anyway, it's not exactly the best .. I would personally buy some ephedra and some caffiene tabs and just take those as your own stack, both are plentiful in mexico.

I agree, this is not a good stack (IMHO). The acetaminophen is useless and you don't get the proper Ephedrine to Caffene ratio.

Unlike the other dosages, the 20 mg/200 mg combination exceeded the predicted additive effect, so the researchers said that the 20/200 combination has a "supra-additive thermogenic synergism". In other words, the 20/200 dosage/ratio causes a synergistic effect where 1+1=3.

This I got my info from Here.

Aspirin enhances and prolongs thermogenesis by inhibiting prostaglandin production. Aspirin also depletes the liver of glutathione.

Asprin on a regular basis e.g with an eca stack twice a day also makes nice holes in your stomach wall.

Skip the asprin... I would still stay away from the acetaminophen and bump up the E&C.
