Even though I use it I would still like a lil' more knowledge behind it.. so my question is this.. for gawds sake, what does asprin have to do with this ?? I know the effect of combining ephedrine and caffeine but what the hell is up with the asprin ??.. does it act like a buffer of some kind or what ??.. This baffles me, and as usual, just tryin' to gain knowledge..................lata'.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=3825983&dopt=AbstractChronic administration of aspirin to obese mice had no effect on energy balance and body composition. In contrast, ephedrine increased energy expenditure by 9% and reduced body weight and body fat by 18% and 50%, respectively: obesity, however, was reduced but not reversed. In the presence of both ephedrine and aspirin, increase in energy expenditure found during treatment with ephedrine alone was doubled , and the obese group lost greater than 75% of body fat: obesity was reversed. These studies indicate that although aspirin administered alone has no influence on energy balance it can markedly potentiate thermogenic properties of ephedrine, effects which led to a normalization of body composition of the obese to that of the lean. Such ephedrine-aspirin mixtures, often found in over-the-counter preparations for asthma and bronchial disorders, could be put to new use as aids for treatment of human obesity. (emphasis mine). As to the actual interaction between aspirin and the "e" and "c" parts, I have no clue so I'd like to hear an explanation too.

Well... I'm a research nut and I have to admit that this one stumped me. I cannot find any logical explanation other than that it's supposed to increase the effectiveness and effective term of the ephedrine (as is the case with the caffienne).
However, I have a personal theory: If you take ephedrine for too long (months without a break), guys often report trouble "getting it up". This is usually attributed to "vaso-dialation"... or was it vaso-constriction... whatever the term is, the point is that your blood vessels constrict and the flow of blood is restricted. This goes away very quickly when you come off again. So I was thinking that one of biggest effects of asprin is thinning of the blood. Perhaps the intent was to counteract the temporary constriction of the arteries by thinning the blood... just a theory.
