The ECA stack is usually a stimulant and used in high dose weight loss products. ECA is an acronym for ephedrine, coffee, and adrenaline, which with variations of it include the EC stack, that eliminates the ephedrine for people who cannot tolerate it. The name ‘ephedrine’ comes from the Greek word ephedra, which means “the addictive agent”. It was used by Native Americans for its calming and stimulating properties. It became popular with the growing middle class in the United States, where it was used to make energy drinks. In recent years it has grown in popularity as an over-the-counter herbal remedy and for weight loss supplements, due to some of the claims regarding its weight loss properties.
The ECA stack contains ephedrine along with caffeine, which makes it a powerful stimulant and increases the heart rate as well as the nervous system. Although ephedrine does have these properties, it does come with a large number of health risks, including heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and seizures. This is one reason why Ephedra has been banned in many countries, including the United States. The FDA had banned the use of Ephedra as well, but since the product had made a return to the market in the United States, it was given a new name, with a different ingredient to make it legal once again. The result is the same, a product that still contains Ephedra but in a much safer form.
As with all stimulants, there are possible side effects associated with the ECA stack. Some of them include restlessness, sweating, anxiety, cramping, insomnia, confusion, jitters, nervousness, heart palpitations, difficulty waking up, cold hands, numbness, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, shortness of breath, and nausea. Some of the stimulants in the stack are also illegal, such as ephedrine and caffeine, and are known to cause death. The combination of any combination of ingredients present in this product can lead to severe side effects.
One of the newest additions to the ECA Stack is menthol. Like ephedrine and caffeine, it is also illegal in the United States under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Because of the menthol content, the ECA Stack is not recommended for children younger than six years old, even if they have had no problems with eczema before. Some people also use this cream for dandruff, which is another problem that may arise from eczema. It can also be used for skin irritations, though care should be taken not to aggravate the condition.
Many people, especially those who suffer from a serious case of eczema, prefer an eczema relief treatment that will not only provide relief from the symptoms of the skin condition, but also treat the main cause. This is why, in addition to using the ECA Stack, some people choose to use supplementary creams and ointments that are designed to treat eczema. These creams contain ingredients that are formulated to prevent eczema flare-ups, so that they will no longer be a nuisance.
Some people do not think eczema relief can be achieved through traditional means alone. In order to find true eczema relief, it is important to consider all of your options. There are medications available, such as prescription or over-the-counter medicines, but there are also eczema creams and ointments that can be used without a doctor’s prescription. Using natural products that treat the causes of eczema is one of the most effective ways to get rid of this frustrating condition for good.
