: OK, FIRST I will not post something unless I know what I'm talking about! Period! Next Point--
: PPA is called Phenylpropanolamine. What is this? It is the isomers of NORpseudoephedrine.
: I did not say pseudoephedrine. PPA is a very close relative of ephedrine. PPA, ephedrine,
: pseudoephedrine all work the same way--simply by stimulating the adrenals to release more
: adrenaline. So, in practice, these compounds are all interchangeable. The only difference
: is in potency. PPA and ephedrine are about equipotent--actually PPA has been shown to be
: a little better. Psuedoephedrine is much weader so stay away from it.
: NOw, ecdysterone has been shown to be very anabolic in animals and in humans--it is well
: documented that it is biolically active. Stop listening to everything Phillips says in
: MM2000! B-Ecdysterone is available in purified form in the Eastern Block countries and
: is taken as an anabolic. The Zebutol that gymrat took was probably the real, potent stuff.
: I would not even mention someone to take the herbal form because of bioavailability problems.
: However, if I can get the pure compound then I will offer it! I will continue to do research
: on it and post my results.
: Keep up the fight

What if you took a high dose of pseudoephedrine? Would that make up for it's lack of mg per mg strenght? ie If ephedrine is five times as strong mg/mg as pseudoephedrine, would taking a dose of pseudo five times greater than a regular dose of eph have the same effect?
