Ephedra, Caffeine and aspirin put my training partner in hospital for 2 weeks with a blood clot in one of his kidneys they have now removed the Ephedra from Stack 2 that we used to use, I still have half a tub. It was ment to suppress your appetite but never worked for me, I just kept eating.
As for Tea I drink Green tea and leave the bag in, its an acquired taste!
