Different Ephedrine forms - JP Fitness Forums

hey all -
I was looking into getting some ephedrine, and i know that vasopro or bolt is pretty much what everyone recommends. Specifically, it's ephedrine HCl 25mg (http://www.bodybuilding.com/st ore/mp/vaso.html). Shopping around, I found Bronkaid, which is 25mg ephedrine SULFATE. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ance&n=3760901)

Seeing that there's a pretty big price difference - does anyone know if being ES vs EHCl makes a big difference? I'm suspicious that EHCl absorbs better into the bloodstream whereas ES doesn't and just helps with the breathing?

HCL is the only kind I've ever used and it works great. Can't see the sulfate being worth the extra money, plus it has twice the amount of Guaifenesin, which you don't really need (unless you're actually using it to help respiration).

the ephedrine sulfate is actually the cheaper one (60 caps for $12 vs. 24caps for $13). That's the only reason i was asking. Otherwise i would just go with the E-HCl cause everyone recs that one.

Exactly- 25mg of ephedrine hcl stacked with 200 mg of caffeine, twice a day (maybe 3 times if your body can tolerate it)

Nope not me...I havent taken any 'fat burning supps' for over a year..trying to get wifey pregnant. Ive just know that ephedra is more taxing on your CNS and usually has 'proprietary blends'. So its usually recommended to take pure ephedrine hcl stacked with caffeine vs any ephedra from ma hung or any other bs.

I remember we got in a convo about yohimbe and whether that was good or not. I was arguing the point (with another poster) that its not good to stack E & Y together...but then I believe I had the product mixed up, so I looked like an ass in the end
