So in the first part of this two part news story series I discussed caffeine timing, how it can vary and its longer lasting effects. In this news article I will discuss a recently studied synergistic effect caffeine has with albuterol and its promising effects. Thankfully SuppVersity comes through to shed light on the topic.
One of the potential populations for this duo can be pediatric obesity. Similar drug combinations have been prescribed safely in kids with asthma and this combination has far less harmful side effects than chronic Adderall. However this does not mean the caffeine albuterol combination should be prescribed as a weight loss drug for children, it should be used to treat unique cases as prescribed by a doctor. What is interesting about this combination is the dose needed to get results. With just 200mg of caffeine and 2mg of albuterol there was a 13% increase in energy expenditure. Furthermore there is promising efficacy for the increase in lean body mass and the decrease of body fat percentage. Making it a potentially powerful combination in the sport performance world.
Here is an interesting take on the prescription of this combination.
"Accordingly, there shouldn't be a problem with prescribing both to kids, If it wasn't for the sad story of ephedrine which turned out to be (a) too cheap, too potent and "too not patentable" not to be a thorn in the pharma lobby's side. Since it was unfortunately also (b) too tempting not to be overdosed by stupid idiots who didn't care that studies showed that taking more ephedrine and caffeine would only increase the sides, yet not the weight loss effects... well, you all know what happened when (a) and (b) came together, right? The FDA banned ephedrine; and I am pretty sure it's going to refer to the "ephedrine disaster" if someone tried to bring a prescription weight loss formula with albuterol and caffeine to the US market."
After what I spoke in the previous new story and what you pick up form reading the full article, this should really spark your interest and perhaps we will even see a trend start to form in the next year or so. If it does, remember that you read it on Elitefts first!
If you don't have the means to stack your caffeine with albuterol then our supplement shop will give you what you need.
