I just started taking Xenadrine, which claims to be the #1 fat burner in the market. Well, it has ephedrine and maHuang, and I was a bit jumpy and I could feel my heart beat. Is this normal ? Will my body get used to it ? I want to shed a couple of pounds, but obviously not at the expense of my health. I'm only taking half ofthe recomended dosage, but I feel like I'm bouncing off the wall. Who has taken Xenadrine before ? ------------------ "We don't have any plans. We just plan to win." Mack Brown
Be really careful with ephedrine. It is the primary ingredient in asthma medication. maHuang is basically the Chinese herb version of ephedrine. Recently, ephedrine has been linked to heart attacks and irregular heartbeat. The only reason this supplement burns fat is because it increases your metabolism to VERY high levels. Some would even consider them dangerous levels depending on what kind of shape you are in and certain hereditary conditions. It is completely "normal" with ephedrine OR maHuang to experience a racing heartbeat. The two together must be wild. Your body will NOT adjust to this over time. You will probably get used to it but your body isn't really designed to have a racing metabolism if you don't have that already. I hope this helps. ------------------ Me fail English?

Anybody taking this stuff should see a doctor before taking it. I don't care what the hell the bottle says. I've taken Ripped Fuel when I used to work out and completely blacked out because my heart started racing. That was when I was actively working out and in shape. Ma Huang and the ephedra plant are the same thing from what I remember (somebody correct me if I'm wrong please!). Ephedrine is an extract from that plant. The FDA released a report a few years ago linking things such as heart attacks, strokes, convulsions, etc. to ephedrine. Check out this site if you want to hear what other people have to say : http://www.nutritionalsupplements.com/indexephedrine.html If you want me to find more information about it, let me know. I'll be more than happy to find several links for you. If you're worried about it, stop taking it, and go ask your doctor. Hell, even if you aren't worried about it, stop taking it, and go ask your doctor. ------------------ "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain.

You dont need that crap to help you lose weight. Be a man. Go out for a run before work or school. Get up a little earlier and just do it. Soon habit will take over and running will become a natural occurence. Leave that fat burner crap alone. Also I dont think it would be safe to drink alchol with a fat burning supplement. note: If you are prhobited from walking or running from a physical defect I apologize. ------------------
Agree 100 percent...the best and safest way to lose fat is to jog early First thing in the morning every morning and eat healthy...FYI, doing intense arobic first thing in the morning burns fat 300 percent faster than if you do it later in the day... Don't drink those natural herbal stuff, no one knows the long term side effects of it. DOD, I've tried ripped fuel also and I almost blacked out a few times while working out..dangerous stuff man... ------------------
