Xenadrine Question

[confusedmushie]

What type of supplement is Xenadrine exactly?

When I take Xenadrine, I have more energy and I also seem to have less cravings for food.

Besides these two factors, is Xenadrine a type of fat burner? Should I just take it in order to have more energy while working out? Or should I take it according to the suggested twice a day? I do have a little bit of problem sleeping (not as easy to fall asleep) if I take it in the afternoon.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Xenadrine is 2 parts of the famed E/C/A stack.

E/C/A - Stands for Ephedrine / Caffeine / Aspirin

Xenadrine has the Ephedrine and Caffeine part down, but adds willow bark for the Aspirin part. Spend 3 bux at wal-mart and get a 300 count generic bottle of aspirin and take 1 with each dose of Xenadrine you take. Now you have a real E/C/A stack.

And I dont take my ECA after 3:30 pm. Otherwise, its hard to get to sleep. I also take Melatonin and Zinc at nite, which helps me go to sleep and get good sleep.

Hmmmmm, oddly enough, when I go to Cytodyne's website and click on Xenadrine RFA-1 it says page cannot be displayed. I wonder if they've taken down the advertisement since this whole debacle with thatbaseball playing dying while he was taking it.

But yes, it's marketed as a fat burner.energy booster. I personally don't like to take it right before working out. It makes my heart rate increase and the ephedrine causes me to lose focus while training, so I try to space it out a good several hours before training. Also, I never take these kinds of products right before doing cardio. Since they cause your heart rate to increase. My heart rate is going to increase enough from the cardio as it is, so I don't like having anymore from the ephedrine and caffeine.

Anyway here's the ingredients:

The directions says to take 4 caps a day. WHat I would do is take two as soon as you make up in the morning on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before eating breakfast. Then take the other 2 around 1pm or so, also on an empty stomach.
