Clenbuterol: (not a steroid).
A popular drug for cutting up. It was originally created for asthma patients.
But bodybuilders find it has the ability to promote fat loss. 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.
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.
Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of
anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously, since the protein processing
is increased. 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.
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. Side effects are of a temporary
nature and usually subside after 8 - 10 days, despite continuation of the
product. Reports of side effects are shaky hands, insomnia, appetite loss etc.
