Could someone knowledgeable about this tell me about the potential for tolerance with ephedrine. Anecdotally myself and friends have found we develop serious tolerance but I often have serious doubts as to the consistency of the quality of the ephedrine from bottle to bottle(thoughts?).
1 - What does the chemistry/literature say regarding tolerance?, How long would you have to stay off to re-sensitise ?
2 - Where can I find a reliable source ( I swear some bottles are bunk or low quality…)?
I believe, from the little that i have read about it that after a few weeks you gain a tolerance to the stimulant effects but there is still a thermogenic effect.

You develop a tolerance to the stimulant effects as the poster above reports. The thermogenic effects increase over time.
Any source is reliable, it’s an OTC drug. Not a whole lot of money in an underground lab making a drug you can buy for about 15 cents a dose.

Just to check, if you’re taking ephedrine for weight loss, you are taking caffeine with it as well, right? There is no, or minimal, benefits to taking ephedrine without caffeine.

I don’t take ephedrine for weight loss, only as a pre-workout stimulant. Usually take (16-24mg/200-300mg/300mg) - E.C.A. Usually also take 4000mg tyrosine too .
