A member asked:

Is using ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) as a performance enhancing supplement safe? if not, why and what precautions should be taken?

Safe-no such thing: Safety is a relative term - more safe and less safe. I am concerned about caffeine in energy drinks, and ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) is far more of a problem than caffeine. It was removed from products in the US, just as phenylpropanolamine (PPA) was removed, because of too many reports of elevated blood pressure and pulse, and increased numbers of cases of angina and heart attack&stroke. I would stay away from it.
