I've been studying and thinking on this for awhile. PPA is actually a mixture of the isomers of
norephedrine. Yes, PPA is very similar to L-ephedrine. True, Psuedoephedrine is not as potent
as L-ephedrine at adrenal stimulation but I don't believe this is the case with PPA. I've heard
that PPA reduces appetite but is not very thermogenic, blah, blah, blah. This is crap if you
think about it for a moment. The ephedrines don't have much intrinsic pharmacological value
in and of themselves. They work by stimulating the adrenals. The only way PPA can reduce appetite
is the same way L-ephedrine does--by drastically increasing adrenal hormones (ie epinephrine, etc).
Everything that I've seen is that PPA will wire you about as bad a L-ephedrine which means adrenal
secretions are about the same and which means is just as thermogenic and just a muscle preserving.
So once again our government is a bunch of bullcrap and screws up with its petty little charades
and antics--trying to control ephedrine so badly. Listen, I haven't experimented with it much
but I bet if you substitute the L-ephedrine with the PPA you'll get the same results, maybe better.
For those of you who liked trytophan and can't get it (and it's quite easy to get in bulk) there's
a better compound out hydroxy-5-tryptophan which is DIRECT precursor to serotonin. This too will
help you lose a good bit of weight, feel better, etc like Prozac. Anyhow, must be going
Keep up the fight!
