Taken from the newest issue of FLEX magazine, Jan. 2013, page 92:"In a randomized, double-blinded, crossover trial, they administered 2.5mg/kg of oral ephedrine to nine lean and nine obese young men (ephedrine is sold in 10mg doses). In this study, they gave 170mg of ephedrine for lean subjects and 287.5mg ephedrine for obese subjects. Shockingly, they found that the ephedrine activates BAT in the majority of lean, but not obese people. The really interesting fact is that ephedrine did activate brown adipose tissue in lean individuals whereas in the past scientists did not even know if this was possible in humans."...

Cool 🙂 Cold showers also work!
I wouldn't mind some brown fat, the increased cold tolerance would come in handy for my job. Coal mines can get awfully cold.

170mg of ephedrine??????The fact that ephedrine activates BAT is old.

Fair enough, but the study was (apparently) from Sep. 2012.Cory
Mm, I remember reading a study about this as far back as 2001 or 2002. I am sure it has been known for a long time.

Whoa. Just want to remind people that doses that high are considered near lethal. I thought 125mg was maxing out.

All a question of tolerance. I never went over 50mg single dose, but I know a guy who was taking 400mg anally (no joke) before workouts.

How was that working for him?Cory
Oh my god. Okay, I've heard enough. The lengths people go to.
How was that working for him?Cory
Oh it seemed to work very well, absorption speed and rate are top notch that way, LOL.

What a way to supp. Did he do it himself, or did someone help him with the dosages? LOL!Cory
