ECA Stack mixed with other supplements? - Saturday, December 06, 2003 5:50 AM
Hi, first time poster here!

I just started taking ECA Stack, i plan on taking 2 pills in the morning, and 2 pills around lunch. Then depending how it affects me, i might add 2 more pills late afternoon, early evening. My question today is about the supplements i take in addition to my ECA Stack.

I also take 2 Multi Vitamins, 2 1000mg Flax Seed oil capsules and 2 1000mg of Fish Body Oil Capsules.

morning:
2 x ECA Stack
2 x Multi Vitamine
2 x 1000mg Flax Seed Oil
2 x 1000mg Fish Body Oil

lunch:
2 x ECA Stack

dinner:
nothing

I want to use the ECA stack for improved weightloss and more energy. I plan on taking them until about the end of december.
I take the Vitamines, well, because its good for you. And i take the Flax Seed Oil and the Fish Body Oil trying to get my good cholesterol to come up.

Do you guys see anything wrong with this combination?

Thanks

Thomas S.

Welcome to DB!

Nothing wrong with that combination. I would avoid using an ECA stack with anything else that boosts your energy. Like.. don't wash down the ECA with a couple of cups of coffee. That kinda thing. But your vitamins, fish oil and flax seed don't interfere. So your above combination is alright. No issues that I see.

Just make sure you monitor yourself closely when taking that ECA.

So far it looks good..

Great advice MDA, I would also be careful as to when you try to take ECA in the evening... In general for me after 4 PM meant a few hours of tossing and turning, very much wide eyed. So taking it the night before your big presentation at work or a final exam at school would be a bad idea.

The only supplement I've read about that you wouldn't want to mix with ECA would be a vasodilator. Has to do with the two supplements couteracting each other with one being a constrictor and the other being a dialator. Anyone know of any others?

I wouldn't mix it with something that is similar.. like products that contain Yohimbie. I mean.. I guess you could but it seems like if an ECA stack boosts the metabolism, it might not be a great idea to take another product that chemically boosts it as well. Overkill?

And don't drink any Red Bull while taking ECA, either!

Actually, E/C can work nicely with Y, as they work through different aspects of the adrenal system (the former affecting beta receptors and the latter affecting alpha receptors).

That said they can both affect heart rate and BP and so, as with any supplement, caution should be used.

I assume you mean Yohimbe, that has no effect on the adrenal system whatsoever, my best guess is that you have reaad somewhere that *Yohimbine* which is a controlled substance has an affect on the *androgen* system...

Man, you really need to take a lay down and reread these things before giving advice...

My advice... a few snorts of coke would work better and give you less side effects..

Yeah, that is how bad i consider Ephedrine/ephedra to be, it is a bs supplement with a buttload of sideeffects...

Just take some epinephrine, some acetone and...

Ephedrine/ephedra to be, it is a bs supplement


Are you serious? Ephedra was effective. You said "Jr. Meth." And how many meth addicts do you know that are fat? Meth is a great fat loss product.. problem is.. side effects out-weight the benefits. Same goes for Jr. Meth.

I think it's a highly effective weight loss supplement. Just that the side effects are too great for the general population and eventually that got it into a controlled substance category. Hence, illegal in CA and banned from sales.

Ephedra is not a BS supplement.

As far as Yohimbe is concerned

The active compound in yohimbe, an alkaloid called Yohimbine, functions as a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor to increase levels of the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Yohimbine also acts as a central nervous system stimulator, where it blocks specific receptors (alpha-2 adrenergic receptors) and may increase energy levels and promote fat oxidation. -SupplementWatch.com

Yes i am serious... it IS a bull**** supplement, less safe than clenbuterol, salbutamol or salmererol and with 10x the side effects, is that a good supplement? no, it has always sucked, only fools use it, it is jr meth and that is why the Ephedra junkies are so upset now... who the **** cares about those junkies, are they any better than the juicers? in what way is ephedra better than say... oxandrolone?

Yohimbine blocks the same receptors that Ephedra activates, you figure out why they will not do the same thing...

Yohimbe will do one thing, it will give you a stomach upset and that is about it... the alcaloid needs to be extracted before it breaks down, in humans, that cannot happen...

Yohimbine is an alpha-2 antagonist. Perhaps you need to learn more about the adrenal system.
