ECA stack is the OG fat-burning stack! ECA stands for Ephedrine, Caffeine & Aspirine, the 3 ingredients that make up this stack.
ECA stack was extremely popular and widely used between the 70s and early 2000s. It was seriously powerful and effective, but it was also extremely attractive because it could be acquired over the counter. Unfortunately, Ephedrine was banned in the mid-2000s, and it became much harder to source.
In my previous post, I explained everything you need to know about Ephedrine, but I did not cover Caffeine and Aspirin. You are definitely familiar with both, and you understand that Caffeine is a stimulant with some fat-burning properties, but you are probably wondering why they are part of this stack…
Believe it or not, you can find scientific papers from the early 90s in which they studied the effectiveness of E+C or E+C+A vs the effectiveness of just taking E or C, and they found that the stacks could provide more weight loss with less side-effects.
I personally believe some of those studies were funded by companies that were selling ECA back in the day, but the amount of anecdotal information backing up these claims is overwhelming and proves that this stack is in fact very effective.
The reasoning behind adding Caffeine and Aspirin to the stack, is that they can enhance the results of Ephedrine use by extending its effectiveness through the modulation of norepinephrine levels (which Ephedrine increases).
Therefore, you can expect ECA to have the same benefits and side-effects as taking Ephedrine alone, but they are amplified and extended.
There is a lot of debate regarding whether Aspirin is necessary for ECA to work properly or not. Neither Aspirin nor Ephedrine are healthy medications, and Caffeine can already extend the effectiveness of Ephedrine on its own, so many people believe that adding Aspirin is just a source of additional side-effects.
I personally believe that using Aspirin is not necessary, and that the results one can get from just Ephedrine and Caffeine are already amazing.
If you still want to add it for that extra boost in the length of effectiveness, use baby Aspirin.
Traditional broscience says that you should be dosing the 3 ingredients up to 3 times a day, but that’s a recipe for disaster and insomnia. In my opinion, you should only take them in the morning in a fasted state, and then do exercise for best results:
If you are in America, you can find Ephedrine in the pharmacy and get it without a prescription by asking for Bronkaid. Unfortunately, they will ask for your ID to control how often you order it.
Ephedrine is available over the counter with no restrictions in Canada.
Ephedrine requires a prescription in most European countries, but I’ve had reports of people from all over Europe who managed to get it without a prescription by asking in multiple pharmacies and claiming that they are tourists with asthma (do your best foreign accent). I’ve done this myself, it just takes some trial and error. Surprisingly, sourcing Ephedrine online in Europe is harder than sourcing steroids.
Caffeine and Baby Aspirin are easy to get over the counter anywhere in the world.
Everything you would ever want or need to know about SARMs, and how to properly use, maximize, and recover from them.
The SARMs Wiki is the culmination of 7 years worth of knowledge coming from independent experimentation with myself and hundreds of my clients, probably thousands of hours of research, going through every study, and the online reports of thousands of SARMs and PED users.
If you're ready to spend 150$+ on SARM cycles, why not do it right from the very start and save yourself the troubles of dealing with the nuances and complications of PED use?
The Peptide Wiki is an all-in-one guide that will give you a deep understanding of how each peptide works and how you can use them correctly and find the perfect one (or stack) to reach your goals (16 Total Most Popular Peptides Covered).
Not only will you learn how these peptides work in your body, but you will also learn how to prevent their potential side-effects, and how to reconstitute, dose, and store use them correctly (super easy to mess this up).
If you're going to spend hundreds of $ on Peptides, you might as well do them right.
