Clenbuterol - a short profile.
Contrary to popular belief Clenbuterol is not an anabolic steroid. Whilst being very popular with bodybuilders, in the US, the only approved use is for horses!
• What is Clenbuterol?
Clenbuterol is a potent,long lasting bronchodilator that is prescribed for human use in many countries outside of the US.
It is a beta-2-antagonist rather than an anabolic steroid.
It is often used as a cure for asthma outside of the US. In the U.S., clenbuterol is not approved for human use.
• Why do Bodybuilders use Clenbuterol?
It is used often by bodybuilders for its ability to increase strength and lean muscle mass.
It also increases muscle hardness, vascularity, strength and size on a caloric deficit diet.
Similarly it reduces body fat (i.e it has a repartitioning effect)
For the most significant fat loss Clenbuterol,or to use it\\\'s street name, Clen is often stacked with T3.
Inexperienced bodybuilders, many of whom ignore safety,hope that it will allow them to maintain muscle while dieting to get lean.
• When do bodybuilders use Clen?
Clenbuterol posseses anti-catabolic properties which can be compared to that of low doses of mild steroids such as Winstrol or Oxandralone.
For this reason, numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus maintain maximum strength and muscle mass.
Due to the higher blood heat Clenbuterol amplifies the outcome of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken at the same time.Which is why many opt to use this compound during a cycle of anabolic steroids that will help preserve the lean body mass while reducing the fat. Usually stacked with non-aromatizing steroids that give the user a leaner and harder look, and allow for less water retention
Clenbuterol is popular among female athletes as the repartitioning effects are not associated with the typical androgenic side effects (i.e., facial hair, deepening of the voice, and thickening of the skin) of anabolic steroids.
• What are the side effects of Clen?
Clenbuterol is a beta2-adrenergic agonist.
Stimulation of the beta2-adrenergic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle produces bronchodilation.
Clenbuterol also stimulates beta2-adrenergic receptors in other tissues, as well as beta1-adrenergic receptors, producing side effects, such as heart palpitations, muscle tremors, and nervousness.
Clenbuterol is also associated with significant adverse cardiovascular and neurological effects.
Despite this Clenbuterol has been marketed as a weight loss drug.
Outside the U.S., clenbuterol is available by prescription for the treatment of bronchial asthma in humans.The recommended dosage is 0.02-03
mgs. per day.With Bodybuilders the dosage is in the region of 60-120 mgs per day!
After ingestion, clenbuterol is readily absorbed (70-80%) and remains in the body for awhile (25-39 hours. As a result of its long half life, the adverse effects of clenbuterol are often prolonged.
• Can you buy Clenbuterol online?
Anyone seeking to buy steroids online will find that Clenbuterol is readily available on the Internet as tablets, syrup and an injectable formulation.
In th US Clenbuterol is currently not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
