From the FAQ:

Q: Speaking of bullshit, isn't Ephedra legal again?

A: Yes and no. The ban was overturned by a Federal Judge in Utah. However, the FDA immediately filed an appeal to the ban-lift. It's still in litigation, and there's an injunction in-place to keep it off of store shelves. Some smaller supplement stores are chancing selling it because they feel the DEA has better shit to do than bust them for having 5 bottles of something with beneath 10mg of Mahuang in it. That's another thing, the ban-lift was for supplements containing under 10mg. So everything over 10mg is still illegal.

UPDATE: In Canada, ephedrine HCL is still available in 8mg tablets; in the US, 25mg ephedrine HCL is available OTC.

--->Now I'm in Canada, so I have no idea on current regulations/law regarding ephedrine in the USA. KK would be the go-to man for this info.

Beta Alanine, any "fat burner" really (I use lipo 6x) and a ton of water work wonders for cardio.

Cheers.

Looks like the FAQ needs to be updated.

Might as well post this in here too, I juststarted taking Beta Alanine the other day, hope it combined with the arganine in NO2Black and creatine do good things for my cardio, well that and quitting the cancer sticks lol.

http://allnutri.com/pid40108/betasine.aspx

I'm taking Betasine now, for the past 3 days, feel slightly stronger, more energetic and my breathings better. I'm stacking it with NO2 Black.

I'll see how the combo works for a month or so.

They were 10

I ordered 200 30mg tabs, but they were out so for the same price they sent 700 10mg tabs. So pay for 200, get 233.


I was quite happy (considering I ordered 2 lots of them, i should have ordered 3 instead of those damn caffeine:effy tabs, same price, 100 doses- DOH).

That's interesting, because everything I've found on ephedrine in Canada has been (as of lately) only been sold in max 8mg tablets. Who was the supplier?

Yeah I keep seeing the same thing but with coffee it does the trick and it has pharmacutical grade on it, so I'm guessing its the real stuff.

Can't tell you who it was through at moment mate, I'm pretending to be at work
