Ephedrine HCl And Stacker 2?

Actually they are conclusive and it's use is very logical. It's a methylzanthine, and whereas ephedrine will inhibit reuptake of NE, ALL methylzanthines will increase the release of NE. So it's a synergistic effect that's as simple as if p then q. Aspirin also inhibits peripheral prostaglandin synthesis which further enhances NE activity and stimulation. One thing I do agree with is whether it's ENOUGH of a benefit to warrant use. Caffeine, on the other hand, is ESSENTIAL. If you do a medline search, however, there is mostly compelling evidence in favor of using aspirin. In any event, I've always advised people to use the ECA as part of a protocol, get down to business, lose the fat, and get off the ECA. It's not something to be used all the time or for "energy" as our caffeine-driven society defines it. If it's used for a short duration while dieting down, I don't think the aspirin will harm you.

Studies are inconclusive with aspirin. Some show it improves the effects of EC and other studies show no difference. Personally, I wont use aspirin at all, whether its with EC or just as a regular pain killer.

I agree with the guy. I have never understood the aspirin aspect in the whole ECA stacks. I mean aspirin is as vasodilator where as caffine/ephedrine are vaso-constrictors. I see aspirin being more synergistic in a vasodilator compound.
