Question:
How long does caffeine
and ephedrine stay in your system after taking something
like Xenadrine or other ephedrine-based fat-loss product?
Answer:
First off, be aware that ephedrine
and caffeine in combination has been shown to cause side
effects such as rapid pulse, raising blood pressure, nervousness,
sleeplessness, and in extreme cases where people are especially
sensitive to it, loss of memory and passing out. It may
be better to try other supplements before using this combination
(I actually don't recommend using it).
How long caffeine and ephedrine
keep your blood pressure raised depends on a number of factors
but generally the effects diminish after about 4 to 6 hours
after taking it. The greatest factor that affects this is
the dosage you take. The more you take, the longer it will
take to decrease the effects (up to a point).
Some people are especially
sensitive to the stimulating properties of ephedrine and
experience this for longer periods. Some tolerate the combination
quite well.
It is also generally accepted
that the longer you take ephedrine, the more accustomed
your body becomes to it and the faster the effects will
diminish.
