ephedrine hcl vs. ephedrine? please help!

does ephedrine hcl really yield the same results as plain old ephedrine.

i am sketible and need someone to shine so truth on this matter.

another question too while i am at it...what are the differences (if any) between ephedrine hcl and pseudoephedrine hcl (decongestant tabs)???


thanks guys...this one has had me wondering for a long time.

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are both beta adrenoceptor agonists, which means that they partially mimic the effects of having an adrenaline rush. "Partially," because they differ structurally from adrenaline enough that they don't perform all the actions that actual adrenaline would to the same degree--both ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, for example, elevate your heart rate and blood pressure less than adrenaline would. Ephedrine will do much more to dilate your bronchial passages and raise your body temperature (and metabolic rate) than psuedoephedrine will; pseudoephedrine, on the other hand, is more effective as a decongestant.

I'll write more when i have a free minute

skeptical? ephedrine hcl is the REAL THING bro, its not a precurser or anything like that and its not like an alkaloid but rather it is the real real deal! doestn get any better then ephedrine hcl

thanks fonz for the info....

yeah press, i meant skeptical, was not able to type last night apparently.....

okay so the FDA banned ephedrine alkaloids?

so can someone tell me why they did not ban the hydrochloride version that everyone uses now?

especially if it really is the real thing like presser said.

something is not adding up...

First off, ppl have been using Ephedrine Sulfate and HCL MUCH longer than the alkaloids. Secondly, E. HCL is still used medically and has a medicinal purpose and thats why its still around but as you will find most places require you to have a script to purchase it now.

Ephedrine HCL or Sulfate are Asthma medications which work in a similar way as clenbuterol. The main is difference is how Ephedrine binds with the Beta 2 repectors.

If you want to ask questions what bout this one. The FDA has banned Clen but not Albuterol which is the SAME thing with a shorter half life. Why'd they do that???, ANSWER IS B/C THEY CAN.

Mallory i like your sig, you'll find that when you dead more weight and you really focus on form you always end up with the bar tearing the skin off your shins. Thats a classic way to tell if someone is deadlifting

exactly my man...and anyone that has any experience powerlifting can understand what it's like.

thanks for the info the e.hcl....did not know any of that....cool stuff...

while i have you here, can e.hcl be combined with clen?

sure but why would u, IMHO E. HCL is a much better supp to use than clen. I have used both extensively and i have found that since E. HCL doesnt bind as well to the B2 receptor like clen does you can run it for much longer periods without it loosing effect. With clen you run it for 2-3 weeks and then your recpetors are desensitized and you have to take time off BUT while on E. HCL or SULFATE (which i like more IMHO) you can run it for 8 weeks at a time and still get the benefit while clen wouldnt.

I would say one of the other but no reason for both

Now you could stack with T3 if ya wanted

excellent...well that confirms it, i will be making an order next month for sure....i have a ton of clen sitting around, wish i didn't have so much of the damn stuff, oh well.........

maybe i will cycle between the two until i get rid of the clen


appreciate all the help bro...i mean it!

No problem bro
