Clenbuterol is quite anti-catabolic and/or anabolic in almost every (living organisms) study ever done on it, although this hasn’t been studied or confirmed in human studies. Also, a trend we see with Clenbuterol administration in animals is that the doses used are very high- more than anyone actually taking. If Clenbuterol is anabolic or anti-catabolic in humans, only mild anabolic or anti-catabolic effects can realistically be expected.
One of the primary drawbacks of Clenbuterol is that after a couple of weeks, it seems to stop working for most people. This is because it can cause a down regulation of pulmonary, cardiac and central nervous system beta-adrenergic receptors. This is why it seems to stop burning fat for most people at that point. To counteract this, you can take some Ketotifen, Benadryl, or Periactim every 3rd or 4th week that you remain on Clenbuterol. These are prescription anti-histamines, so they’ll make you drowsy (take before bedtime).
Also, bear in mind that clenbuterol isn’t great for your heart, and can cause some issues there (enlargement of ventricles, etc…) but most studies showing Clenbuterol to cause heart problems are with animals, and even though the dosing is almost similar to what humans take (in some studies its within range of what would be double of a large human dose...). Again, it’s important to remember that animals have more beta-2 receptors and they cause certain event chains that humans’ beta-2 receptors may not, due to their relatively high concentrations. Clenbuterol causes cardiac hypertrophy to some degree, in some cases and even dose-dependent apoptotic and necrotic death (5). And since Clenbuterol depletes taurine as do most if not all beta-agonists, you may want to supplement your Clenbuterol use with some Taurine.
One of the weirdest things about Clenbuterol is that even though it’s an asthma medication, studies have shown reduced exercise (cardiovascular) performance with Clenbuterol, but some also show that Clenbuterol can ease exercise induced asthma!
Clenbuterol is one of the easiest drugs to find proper dosing appropriate to you. Basically, start with 20mcgs upon rising. If the side effects (possible anxiety, and shaking or sweating) aren’t too pronounced, then repeat that same dose again later in the day, and then once again in that day (again, if you find you can tolerate the effects). If you start experiencing intolerable side effects, then decrease the does to where it’s tolerable. If not, then start increasing the dose more, very gradually.
Don’t go over 200mcgs, though…and keep your Blood Pressure at (or under) 140/90. If your Blood Pressure goes over that, reduce your dose. If side effects are intolerable, decrease your dose.
Clenbuterol is a widely used bronchodilator in many parts of the world. Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. Clenbuterol is not a steroid hormone but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. The drug is most often prepared in 20mcg tablets, but it is also available in syrup and injectable form. Clenbuterol belongs to a broad group of drugs. These drugs affect that sympathetic nervous system in a wide number of ways, largely mediated by the distribution of adreno receptors. There are actually nine different types of these receptors in the body, which are classified as either alpha or beta and further subcategorized by type number. Depending on the specific similarity of these agents for the various receptors, they can potentially be used in the treatment of conditions such as asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular shock, arrhythmias, migraine headaches and anaphylactic shock. Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong anti-catabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells.
Most of the actions of Clenbuterol agents can be classified into seven broad types: (1) peripheral excitatory action on certain types of smooth muscles such as those in blood vessels supplying the skin, kidney, and mucous membranes, and on the gland cells, such as those of the salivary and sweat glands; (2) a peripheral inhibitory action on certain other types of smooth muscle, such as those in the wall of the gut, in the bronchial tree, and in blood vessels supplying skeletal muscle; (3) a cardiac excitatory action, responsible for an increase in heart rate and force of contraction; (4) metabolic actions, such as an increase in the rate of glycol genolysis in liver and muscle and liberation of free fatty acids from adipose tissue; (5) endocrine actions, such as modulation of the secretion of insulin, rennin, and pituitary hormones; (6) CNS actions, such as respiratory stimulation and, with some of the drugs, an increase in wakefulness and psychomotor activity and a reduction in appetite; and (7) presynaptic actions that result in either inhibition or facilitation of the release of the neurotransmitters.
The drug Clenbuterol is specifically selective drug primarily affecting only one of the three subsets of beta-receptors. Of particular interest is the fact that this drug has little beta-1 stimulating activity. Since beta-1 receptors are closely tied to the cardiac effects of these agents, this allows Clenbuterol to reduce reversible airway obstruction (and effect of beta-2 stimulation) with much less cardiovascular side effects compared to nonselective beta agonists. Clinical studies with this drug show it is extremely effective as a bronchodilator, with a low level of user complaints and high patient compliance. Clenbuterol also show signs of an extremely long half-life in the body, which is measured to be approximately 34 hours. This makes steady blood levels easy to achieve, requiring only a single or twice daily dosing schedule at most. This of course makes it much easier for the patient to use, and may tie in to its high compliance rate. In spite that clenbuterol is available in a wide number of other countries however; this compound has never been approved for use in the United States. The fact that there are a number of similar, effective asthma medications already available in this country may have something to do with this.
HOW TO USE CLENBUTEROL:
Numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus obtain maximum strength and muscle mass. A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinct fat burning effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it increases the body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat for this process. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously
CLENBUTEROL DOSAGE:
Athletes usually take 100-140 mcg/day. For women 80-100 mcg/day are usually sufficient, it is important that the athlete begin by taking only one tablet on the first day and then increasing the dosage by one tablet each of the following days until the desired maximum dosage is reached. The compound is usually taken over a period of 8-10 weeks. Since Clenbuterol is not a hormone compound. It has no has no side effects typical of anabolic steroids. For this reason it is also liked by women.
CLENBUTEROL SIDE EFFECTS:-
Side Effects of CLENBUTEROL: Possible side effects of Clenbuterol include restlessness, palpitations, tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased perspiration, insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. Note that these side effects are of a temporary nature and usually subside after 8-10 days, despite continuation of the drug.
Clenbuterol is a popular - but banned - drug used by athletes in body-building, power-related, and even endurance sports. The chemical is attractive to athletes because it appears to have an anabolic effect on human muscles, and it may also increase fat metabolism. However, the actual effects of long-term Clenbuterol intake on performance, muscle power, and overall health have been unclear.
Clenbuterol did have a couple of potentially positive effects: Sedentary rats which ingested Clenbuterol had larger muscles than Clenbuterol-free, sedentary rodents, and Clenbuterol users also transformed leg-muscle cells from slow-twitch to fast-twitch fibers, a surprising change which would tend to increase anaerobic energy production and magnify muscle power during short, intense exertions.
Clenbuterol burns the free fat cells in the adipose tissues readily, due to its effects on the thermo-genesis of the body. However, the use of Clenbuterol as a weight loss or fat loss drug for extended periods of time is not recommended, as the drug entails significant risks to several systems of the body if used for longer than three weeks without a three week break.
Clenbuterol is a thermo-gene drug, and is accompanied by a rise in body temperature and heightened heart activity. This in turn affects the blood pressure of the body, as blood is the key element of maintaining a constant temperature of the body. Increasing the aerobic capacity of the blood also demands a greater work from the entire circulatory system. This means that unregulated amounts of Clenbuterol can cause significant overload on the blood pressure, and are a possible threat to the functioning of the heart. So don’t use too much. is used as a fat burning drug, should have a regulated pyramid dose structure, and the greater doses should only be given after the person starts off with small doses, such as 40mcg, and then proceed to 80-120mcg after a couple of days.
Hydrochloride comes in tablets and liquid. Tablets come in 20 or 40mcg doses, but as men take 80-160mcg a day in one dose, and women take 80-120mcg a day in one dose, why would anyone want the 20mcg tablets.
Clenbuterol can only safely be taken for three weeks, after that the beta 2 receptors become worn out and the Clenbuterol is doing nothing to help, after a three week cycle of Clenbuterol , one must stop for another three weeks to let the beta 2 receptors recover. If you want to take Clenbuterol for longer than three weeks, you must take ketotifen tablets, 2-3mg a day of Ketotifen, taken before bed (it makes you very drowsy), means you can use Clenbuterol for 6-8 weeks without a break.
People often stack (combine) Clenbuterol Hydrochloride tablets with T3 Cytomel; combined Clenbuterol and T3 Cytomel tablets at the same time for 3 weeks will burn an amazing amount of fat. The T3 Cytomel stimulates your thyroid, when your thyroid is stimulated your metabolism rises and you burn fat extremely quickly. T3 Cytomel is also only ever used for three weeks, and then stopped for three weeks; taking Ketotifen does not mean that you can take T3 Cytomel for longer than three weeks.
