Dangers
Of Stacker 2
While Stacker
2 and other ephedrine/caffeine-based supplements are very
effective fat-burners backed by sizable scientific research, they
have been associated with some potentially dangerous side effects.
Some of the more common adverse reactions people experience from
taking the ephedrine/caffeine stack are:
* nervousness
* dizziness
* tremors
* rapid heart rate
* headaches
* jitters
* palpitations
* insomnia, and
* increased blood pressure.
Although some might assume these are dangers of Stacker 2 specifically,
these adverse reactions are common to all ephedrine-based fat
burners.
Some people
simply cannot tolerate ephedrine's intense effects, and quickly
stop taking products containing it. Because of its potential dangerous
side effects, I highly recommend that you consult with your primary
care physician before taking any supplement with ephedrine. And
if you have a history of heart disease, or any other medical condition,
I would avoid products containing ephedrine (unless you get the
green light from your doctor.)
The widely documented and potentially harmful side effects associated
with ephedrine has prompted scientists from around the world to
research other similar compounds that offer the same powerful
thermogenic properties without the side effects. Within the past
few years, researchers have identified a new thermogenic compound
called synephrine, which is much safer than ephedrine. Because
of its unique combination of power and safety, many experts now
consider synephrine an even more effective thermogenic compound
than ephedrine.
While kola nut normally increases alertness and reduces fatigue,
as with caffeine, if you take too much you could get jittery and
your thoughts could get scattered. As long as you stay with the
recommended dose, these side effects are unlikely to occur.
