Ephedra products

Does anyone know how soon before they yank products like Xenadrine and Hydroxycuts off of the shelves? A friend at the gym told me that it may be within days....

I hope not...just in case, I'm going to go and get a few bottles of Xenadrine

That pisses me off; everytime there's a product that works, they have to ruin it and yank it off the shelf..

Ephedra is the main ingredient in speed ,that is why the guv is banning this product.Too bad some abuse it .This product is the main staple of my pre workout,nothing compares as far as intensity and focus.

I never tried the Xenadrine version, but when Ripped Fuel came out with theirs a while back, I tried that and it was a piece of shit. I ended up giving it away and it finally ended up in the trash.

**grafix-gnc** · 02-15-2003, 12:02 AM

on a side note, production of Xenadrine, like Hydroxycut and Ripped Fuel, will be halted in the near future. Why you ask? Insurance. The insurance is costing an assload for the companies that they are forced to stop production. My suggestion is to stock up, because if these supplement giants cant afford to pay the insurance, i am sure the little, lesser known companies will be able to afford the insurance which they are required to have as well.

the ephedra-free version sucks; doesn't do squat for me.
I have half a bottle that I just need to flush.

Did recently order 5 200 count bottles of ephedra (not xenadrine this time), just just in case....

**grafix-gnc** · 02-15-2003, 12:25 AM

well its coming. i dont know the exact date, but this was told to me by a Cytodyne Technologies Representative.

**Nutri-Wrestler** · 02-15-2003, 02:36 AM

The xenadrine EFX gave my ex the shits. i always knew the days of ephedrine were numbered. looks like we will have to buying our ephedrine from the same place we get our gear

**70w30** · 02-15-2003, 01:42 PM

I got really sick to my stomach takin that efx shit,I thought it was somethin I ate ,thanks for bringin that up nutri.I,m gonna send this shit back and get a refund.

I've tried it and I didn't get anything from it. I find that most of the ephedra free burners are worthless. I know that Muscletech is discontinuing making ephedra products now, but companies like Labrada are still making it. I love Labrada's Charge. I'm sure it'll only be so long though before they stop as well.

**phoenixphyre** · 02-17-2003, 08:43 PM

I just bought 4 bottles of Xenadrine...the vitamin store owner said that the laws varies from state to state but he agreed that the ban may come sooner than later. I'm in California and it's not hit here yet, but will stockpile this stuff for when the ban hits.

**grafix-gnc** · 02-18-2003, 12:28 AM

Ephedra hasnt been banned. It's the price of insurance for the compaines to pay is ridiculously high, that they cant afford it, the profit margin wouldnt be high

They may as well ban it if the consumers have zero availability for the product...what options will we be left with as far as obtaining ephedra products?

**phoenixphyre** · 02-18-2003, 04:38 AM

This sure as hell isn't going to help matters:

Acctually its ephedrine they use for meth bro, not ephedra is the herbal equivalent, when you take ephedra you are taking one of a couple different herbs that is standardized for ephedra content, some of the herbs used are ma huang, sida corfollia, and ephedra sinica.

personally I think this is all bs anyway, its safer than a lot of things out there. I think the stuff is a good send for people like me who have grew out of asthma but still get slightly tight lungs here and there. My asthma meds are far to harsh for me now sice I don't need them but maybe once a year. You think ephedrine is hard on the heart, see how you feel from some asthma meds....racing heart, migranes, shit aint for thats for sure.

Charge is great stuff bro, bump for that product, like the american xenadrine, but a one cap serving, 120 servings for the price of 60.

**Fyre** · 02-18-2003, 03:04 PM

Charge is a great deal, you're right about that. I like the fact that I only have to take two a day as opposed to four.
In my opinion though, nothing beats the good old ECA stack. Well aside of course from the ECA/Yohimbine Stack.
