Ultra 90 weightloss/ Fenphedra

No... just no. All that is in that is a bunch of stimulants that will a.) keep you feeling wired and jittery all day and b.) will increase your heart and respiratory rates which can be dangerous to those with high blood pressure or other cardiac related illnesses and can increase your chances of having a heart attack. Even if you aren't aware of any illness you have it's still a gamble. There is no magic pill to weight loss. Eat right and move more.


Just read the "keep out of this thread" part. Whoops. Guess I'm just so passionate about people not using these harmful snake oils that I jumped the gun.

In all seriousness, what is wrong with a calorie deficit and kicking butt in the gym?



and you want to know what people think but do not want anything negative?

well i consider concern for a person's well being positive whether they are happy to hear it or not.

if you have nothing nice to say about my decision please keep it off this thread.

that's not the way open forums work. If you want blanket acceptance of everything you say, you'll have to keep it to your wall.



And.... I've tried ephedrine. Heart palpitations are not my idea of fun. And it did NOTHING for weightloss. Your friend has lost weight because she changed her eating.

lol @ nothing nice to say.

here's what a quick google search rendered me...

"Fenphedra is chock-full of caffeine. Really, really potent caffeine. This can increase your heart rate until your chest feels funny and you feel jittery and anxious. It can also increase your heart rate until it becomes dangerous.It's not really a diet pill. It's pretty much pure stimulant mixed in with other ingredients with questionable effectiveness. It's unregulated and not approved by the FDA.Look, you may not like hearing it, but otc diet pills are at best scams and at worst unsafe. Losing 10 lbs in 6 weeks is a perfectly healthy and normal amount of weight to lose and you can do that on your own, and do it really, really easily, without spending money on these pills and putting your health in jeopardy. Really, you can do it on your own."

sounds like this one's not worth the money either.

a quick question for YOU now...

why are you asking this AFTER having purchased a 3mo supply?
seems to me you've put the cart before the horse.

Yup. If it ends in "edra" or "edrine" it's likely full of ephedrine or ephedra which is synthetic adrenaline. ...Think pseudo that they use in crystal meth. Why do you think that is?

And please don't be judgemental about my choices - if you are going to give me an honest answer and not tell me what I want to hear please keep it off this thread.

Fixed that for you...

I have no problems with supplements, some actually do work. I'm guessing fenphedera is named after/similar to ephedra, which has been shown to work. That makes it suspicious, but does not rule out it possibly having an effect on metabolism.

One of the biggest questions is always what does it actually do, and how. When you see a supplement combined with a "completely altered diet" it becomes a question of what was actually producing the results, the product or the mentioned change in diet (a decreased calorie is beyond proven to alter body composition).

Supplements can be tough that way. Have there been any studies conducted by independent sources?

I've heard of the effectiveness of the ECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin), but have never used it myself, Yohimbine has (I believe) been shown to have a metabolic effect, but only when taken in a fasted state. These products can also be dangerous though, but that seems to be the case with most things that alter the body in some way (actually work).

Then you have to consider if this product is containing some ingredients actually proven to work, at what doses were this ingredients proven to work, and does the product contain a sufficient dosage to emulate the results shown in the study?

The supplement industry is a tricky and sometimes deceitful industry. Two things I look out for is herbal products names similar to actual drugs or banned supplements or ones that show a "proprietary blend" rather then actually listing the ingredients and amounts. These are just warning signs though, and don't necessarily prove the products ineffectiveness.

I took the ECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine, asprin) for about a year. I definitely felt neurotic once it hit (thanks to the over stimulation). I felt sick to my stomach, I couldn't sleep well. This did eventually subside. I lost 30 lbs, though I was often told I looked sick. The stack also messed up by mind. I felt depressed. I honestly felt like I was going crazy at times. I had to stop.

But guess what happened when I stopped taking them... I gained it all back and then some within a year. As other posters have mentioned, you don't learn how to eat well and care for your body. It is a quick fix. It is not maintainable. The beauty of losing weight the old fashioned way (diet and exercise), is that you acquire important skills along the way to ensure success in the long term. You also improve your health. Weightloss should be a side effect of adopting a healthful lifestyle. A quick fix is only temporary.

No... just no. All that is in that is a bunch of stimulants...
