A natural anti-inflammatory compound derived from white willow bark (Salix alba).\u00a0 Salicin is chemically similar to aspirin, and has a similar action.<\/p>\n
White willow bark extracts standardized for salicin were typically added to ephedra-based fat burners\u00a0designed to be “all natural”\u00a0versions of the well-known\u00a0“ECA” stack (ephedrine, caffeine, aspririn – see Paul’s Xenadrine RFA review for one example<\/a>).\u00a0 Theoretically, aspirin\/salicin works synergistically with ephedrine\/caffeine to enhance lipolysis, but there is\u00a0less research to back this up<\/a>\u00a0(and the “EC” stack is quite effective without it).\u00a0<\/p>\n Salicin-containing extracts are also added to “ephedra-free” fat burners, but there is no evidence it provides any benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A natural anti-inflammatory compound derived from white willow bark (Salix alba).\u00a0 Salicin is chemically similar to aspirin, and has a similar action.
