Stacker 2

[IowaParamedic]

I have seen some of the commercials for Stacker 2 and obviously, they don't tell you too much about what this stuff really is. Does anybody have experience with this supplement?

Yes, It's a combination of Ephedrine, Caffine and Aspirin. (ECA stack) I have been using it for 2 months and I love it. The first couple of days I felt a little dizzy, but now I'm fine.

It speeds up your metabolism a bit, raises your body temp a little. They call these things "Thermogenics".

Helps curb the appetite and makes you feel a little "wired".

Actually I use "Ripped Fuel" which is similar to Stacker2.

Party on...........Richard

Seriously, Stacker 2 is not necessary to "burn fat." These "supplements" are usually pushed on people who don't really have a strong exercise regimen. Any claims of similarities between this product and supplements used by athletes is about as accurate as tobacco promotions. Some athletes may use drugs, but do you want to?

Ephedra is the natural source of ephedrine, in the amphetamine family of drugs. It speeds heart rate and raises blood pressure.
Not good for you at all. Since Ephedra is an herb, it's not regulated by the FDA for potency/safety. Also, drug interactions
between herbal compounds and prescription medicines are often overlooked, but can be chancy.

My brother-in-law has epilepsy controlled by prescription medicine.
He began taking Metabolife over-the-counter (a "supplement" which contains Ephedra.) The Metabolife triggered a seizure while he was driving, jamming his foot on the accelerator and sending him off the road into a corn field where he spun himself into the ground. His car caught fire because his foot was still jamming the gas pedal. He was rescued by a passer-by who pulled him out while he was still having a seizure.
