The substance
Clenbuterol hydrochloride is also available in various
other forms of administration, including syrups, drops, liquids,
dosing aerosols, injectable solutions, and granules. Since athletes
usually prefer tablets, manufacturers and trade names offering this
oral version are listed.
Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. It is not
a steroid hormone but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. Its effects,however
can by all means be compared to those of steroids. Similar to a
combination of
Winstrol Depot and
Anavar,
Clenbuterol can cause a
solid, highly qualitative muscle growth which goes hand in hand with
a significant strength gain.
Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong
anticatabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which
protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an
enlargement of muscle cells. For this reason, 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.
Clenbuterol, in the meantime, is not only a favorite competition
compound among professional bodybuilders. An especially intense
fat-burning occurs when
Clenbuterol is combined with the LT3-thyroid
hormone compound
Cytomel. Due to the higher body temperature
Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids
taken simultaneously, since the protein processing is increased. The
dosage depends on body weight and can be optimized by measuring the
body temperature. Athletes usually take 5-7 tablets,100-140 mcg per
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. Following,
there are several schedules for taking
Clenbuterol.
On the one hand, emphasis is placed on the burning of fat; on the
other hand, importance is placed on a balanced relationship between
strength and muscle growth as well as fat reduction. The compound is
usually taken over a period of 8-10 weeks. Since
Clenbuterol is not
a hormone compound it has no side effects typical of anabolic
steroids For this reason it is also liked by women. 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 product. In the meantime,
Clenbuterol is well
distributed on the black market and costs between $0.70 and $1.20
per 0.02 mg tablet. Throughout Europe the substance
Clenbuterol
hydrocloride must be prescribed by a physician.
