Questions on MisterYouAreSoDumb's ECA stack modifications
Original post in this thread

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to stacking and nootropics in general, so go easy please.
Anyways, I'm in Canada and recently discovered you can buy pure ephedrine OTC, so I've decided to try out the ECA stack as a cheap and easy study buddy. I came across the modifications suggested by /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb in my research, and was looking for some suggestions on how to proceed.
The stack recommended consists of:
* Ephedrine HCL
* Caffeine
* Taurine
* L-Arginine/Citrulline
* ALCAR
* Na-R-ALA
* EGCG
* PQQ
* CoQ10
I'm trying to do this without buying any additional supplements, but I will if I have to. Anyways, on to the questions:
* I'm missing taurine and PQQ. Are there any health implications of simply leaving these out of the stack, and are there any reasonable substitutions I may have in my arsenal?
* For the EGCG, I'm not a fan of green tea and don't have any white tea, so can I get enough from a cup or two of black tea?
* I only have regular ALA rather than Na-R-ALA. Will the S-ALA in there produce any negative effects?
* For the L-Arginine/Citrulline suggestion, I'm assuming that means one or the other rather than both, right? I have L-Arginine…

OK awesome, thanks for all the info. How often do you take the stack? It seems like when people use it to burn fat, they take it 3 times a day, everyday. I was thinking something more along the lines of once or twice a day, a few times a week. What do you think is a safe/appropriate amount of usage?

When I do it, I take it once per day for 2-3 weeks. Then I take a few weeks off in between cycles. You could cycle it throughout the week too. Either way works well.
