Clenbuterol

Description for Clenbuterol

Clenbuterol is one of the most famous names in fat loss. It has been used by a string of celebrities and influencers, and not always with good outcomes. Clenbuterol is popular because it’s thought to be quite similar to the banned ephedrine in its effects, but less dangerous to use.

 

However, this is quite a misconception because Clenbuterol also comes with its list of health hazards, as well as no shortage of stories in the news of serious illness and even death after using this substance.

Many people mistakenly believe that Clenbuterol is a magic weight loss pill – but this is far from the truth. Clenbuterol can deliver fat loss results when used carefully and correctly, but to do that you must understand its functions and limitations.

Should you use Clenbuterol to burn fat, or is too high of a risk? That’s a decision only you can make. But before you do, it’s very wise to be aware of how Clenbuterol works, what benefits and results it might provide, and most importantly: what negative effects you should be prepared for.

 

Chemical Characteristics and Properties

Clenbuterol is a beta2-agonist drug that acts as a bronchodilator and decongestant to assist with breathing in asthmatics and those with other breathing conditions. Only small doses are used in medical settings, starting at just 20mcg per day and rarely exceeding 40mcg.

Clenbuterol Structure

Often confused as anabolic steroids, Clenbuterol is not a hormone at all. It is a stimulant drug in similar ways that caffeine, ephedrine, and albuterol (a Clenbuterol alternative used in the US) are other types of stimulants.

As a stimulant, Clenbuterol has a powerful effect on the nervous system. By binding to tissue and cell adrenoreceptors throughout the body, Clenbuterol stimulates them in various ways. When it comes to the tissue type we are most interested in – the fat tissue – Clenbuterol stimulates beta-2 receptors and encourages the process of lipolysis which is the breakdown of fats.

By boosting metabolic rate and the speed at which fat can be broken down, Clenbuterol’s effects on fat loss can be pronounced. It is not particularly useful in individuals who are above normal weight; rather its true power is when used by those who are already lean and need to eliminate fat in areas that can be otherwise very difficult.

Clenbuterol is almost always taken as an oral drug, although it is available in liquid form. The form you purchase will depend on whether you’re able to obtain pharmaceutical-grade Clenbuterol (tablet), or from a research lab which will be a liquid.

Effects of Clenbuterol (Clenbuterol Benefits)

Clenbuterol functions very well as a thermogenic. Keeping in mind that Clen should not be thought of as a magic pill for weight loss, to get the results that you might have seen other people achieving with Clenbuterol, you must be (at the most basic level) burning up more calories than you take in – this encompasses both your diet and exercise regime. With this in mind, let’s look at the effects and benefits that can be experienced with Clenbuterol when it’s used as part of a weight-loss or fat burning plan.

The medical effects of Clenbuterol should be well understood first, even if they don’t seem to apply directly to losing fat. As a powerful bronchodilator, Clenbuterol can make the airways open and quickly enable someone suffering from asthma or other breathing difficulties to breathe easier. This particular effect does have a benefit to those using Clenbuterol for fat burning: with more efficient breathing comes enhanced cardiovascular capability.

This translates to a greater capacity to work out more intensively and have increased endurance during your cardio work. While these effects won’t be particularly powerful – certainly not at the level that you can experience with some anabolic steroids – it is a welcome benefit for some users of Clenbuterol.

As a thermogenic, Clenbuterol raises your body temperature which results in a faster metabolic rate. With a more efficient metabolism, your body starts burning calories faster and the result is fat loss. This is where the true power exists in Clenbuterol for its use as a fat-burning compound and quite simply, it’s just not possible to lose fat naturally as quickly as it can occur when you use Clenbuterol. But again, the critical factor in just how MUCH fat you can lose, and how FAST you can burn it will very much depend on your calorie intake and fat-burning physical activity. Eat too much, and Clenbuterol won’t make any difference to your physique.

An increase in blood flow is another beneficial action of Clenbuterol. By optimizing blood flow, which comes as a response to Clenbuterol stimulant activity, muscle endurance can noticeable improve. This leads to obvious additional benefits that will impact the speed and quality of your results; you’ll be able to work out at a higher intensity, and you should be able to work out for longer. This translates to more calories burned at every workout, thus faster fat loss (provided your diet is fat loss friendly).

Even users who continue intensive resistance training while using Clenbuterol often notice an improvement in pumps, once again due to increased circulation of blood to the muscles.

Another possible effect of Clenbuterol is appetite suppression. I say this is a possible effect because it became apparent that not everyone was experiencing a reduction in appetite. This effect would be welcome as a benefit by most Clenbuterol users, since controlling your diet and reducing the temptation to eat more than you should is possibly the greatest fat loss challenge for most people.

Eating smaller portions and doing away with junk food is essential for fat burning, but it's not understood why only some Clenbuterol users experience a decrease in appetite. This potential benefit is known to be either on or off, and it’s not thought there’s a middle ground. In other words, Clenbuterol will either suppress your appetite or won’t have any effect on it at all. There’s no way of knowing which side you’ll fall on before using Clenbuterol for the first time.

Finally, Clenbuterol may contribute somewhat to better and faster recovery times and some users notice that they don’t require as much sleep as normal to feel good the next day. This may be a result of Clenbuterol’s stimulant effects (which can also lead to insomnia in severe cases), and users should keep in mind that quality sleep is required for optimal recovery.

Even though Clenbuterol’s benefits can extend beyond just its powerful fat-burning capability, these extra effects (such as muscle gain, increased endurance and strength, and recovery) will still be mild compared to what you might be used to if you’ve used anabolic steroids in the past.

Clenbuterol for Fat Loss

Fat loss is the primary reason most people want to use Clenbuterol. It has become famous as a fat loss agent, and people who are not familiar with the history of medical use of this drug could easily think that fat loss is the reason Clenbuterol exists.

Clenbuterol’s fat-burning abilities can be considered just an offshoot from its main original purpose as a bronchodilator for asthmatics, although that function can bring some performance enhancements to your endurance capability.

Getting the best fat loss results with Clenbuterol means using it properly as part of a wider fat loss plan. Whether you’re a bodybuilder, fitness model, or just someone wanting results for your personal goals, your fat loss plan will make or break your results with Clenbuterol.

Most commonly for those participating in contests, Clenbuterol will be used in the two months leading up to the contest when the physique is already very lean. In these cases, Clenbuterol is not being used as a general weight loss agent, but specifically to burn off the last stubborn areas of fat in preparation for displaying the most defined, ripped, and shredded physique on the day of the competition.

Clenbuterol’s ability to make it easier to remove this fat allows competitors to have significantly better muscle definition that might otherwise be masked by overlying fat. In serious competitions, every ounce of fat counts, and the most serious competitors will often add to Clen’s effects by stacking it with powerful fat-burning anabolic steroids like Winstrol.

If you’re a more casual non-competitive user of Clenbuterol and are using it to achieve your personal fat loss goals, you won’t need such a strict requirement as those who need to look their best by a certain date – but you will need to be quite lean already to get the maximum benefit of Clenbuterol.

If you’re carrying too much extra body fat at the moment, more traditional weight loss methods are recommended before using Clenbuterol (intensive cardiovascular workouts and a calorie-controlled diet). The more weight you have to lose, the more tempted you will be to use Clenbuterol for longer periods, and this is not recommended. Your goal should be to use Clen for the shortest possible time to reduce the risk of short and long-term side effects and health risks.

It’s simple: the leaner you are before starting Clenbuterol the more pronounced your fat loss results are going to be.

Clenbuterol Cycles and Stacks

A Clenbuterol can be as simple as you want it to be. It can also be used as a small part of a more complex stack. Your goals and experience level will determine the makeup of your Clenbuterol cycle. If it’s your very first time using Clenbuterol, following a beginner’s cycle is paramount so you can determine your response to the drug.

More experienced users will almost always be stacking Clenbuterol with other more powerful substances like anabolic steroids. The Clenbuterol portion of any cycle will rarely change much or at all whether you are a beginner or advanced user because how we cycle Clen is very different from how steroids are used. What will determine your cycle as a more advanced user will be other compounds that are included as a stack.

Beginner Clenbuterol Cycle

A beginner’s Clenbuterol cycle introduces you to the compound and allows you to gauge your body’s response to both the side effects and the positive effects. It’s also suited for women who will usually use Clenbuterol on its own and at lower doses than men. Despite this very basic-looking cycle, excellent results can still be achieved when it comes to fat loss and enhancing muscular definition.

This short one-month cycle will also introduce you to the incremental method of increasing Clenbuterol’s dosage as the cycle progresses. This is an essential way of using Clen because of the way your body quickly becomes adjusted to its effects. You can and should adjust the dosage according to your comfort level, and women will usually want to lean towards a maximum dose of between 80mcg and 100mcg daily.

For this cycle, simply start at 20mcg on the first day. Increase the dosage by 10mcg every three days until you reach your desired maximum.

There is no need to taper down the dose after you’ve hit your maximum – you can simply stop the cycle at the 4-week mark or a maximum of 6 weeks.

Intermediate Clenbuterol Cycle

Intermediate users will be at the stage where you’re comfortable stacking Clen with at least one other compound. This could be an anabolic steroid or other type of drug, but the overall goal is going to be a cutting cycle where quick and powerful fat loss is a priority, as is retaining lean muscle, and achieving a toned and ripped physique.

Clenbuterol and Winstrol is a popular combinations. Using Clenbuterol for the first 4 weeks of this 8-week stack gives a quick head start to fat burning and cutting, with Winstrol’s powerful effects taking you through to the end of the cycle.

• Winstrol 20mg daily: Weeks 1-8

Clenbuterol’s dosage will be gradually increased and then decreased as is the standard use. Start at a dose of 20mcg/day, then gradually increase the dose each day until you reach your desired peak of around 120mcg/day.

This cycle is suited to men, however, Winstrol is generally not recommended for women because of its androgenic side effects. If women still wish to use Winstrol in a cycle like this, taking a dosage of 5mg may keep virilization in check.

Advanced Clenbuterol Cycle

Once you reach a more advanced level with Clenbuterol you will be confident in adding more powerful compounds. At this stage you should already be an experienced anabolic steroid user, as the more substances you combine the greater juggling act you’ll have when dealing with side effects. This cycle uses an advanced compound called T3, which is a thyroid hormone. It can help further reduce body fat and can even lower cholesterol.

This short and sharp 8-week cycle also uses two powerful anabolic steroids Trenbolone  (specifically for the most experienced users only), and Masteron. Testosterone is included at a hormone replacement dosage only to support testosterone suppression caused by the steroids.

This cycle uses Clenbuterol in the 2-week on and 2 weeks off cycle format. This means if you want to continue using Clen after the 8-week cycle (such as during PCT), it’s possible as the cycle itself only includes 4 weeks total of Clenbuterol. In any case, your total time using Clenbuterol should still not exceed 8 weeks. This stack is suitable for male users only.

Weeks: 1-2, 5-6, 8

• Clenbuterol 120mcg per day

Weeks 1-8

• Testosterone Propionate 100mg weekly
• Trenbolone Acetate 200mg weekly
• Masteron 400mg weekly
• T3 at 90mcg per day

Stacking Clenbuterol

When you are stacking Clenbuterol the way Clen is used doesn’t change much or at all. Users will normally select one of the two-cycle methods: a 2-week on and 2 weeks off cycle, or a 4-8 week cycle. You then build the cycle around Clenbuterol and place the other compounds where they will have the best effect.

Since Clenbuterol is a powerful fat loss compound, it will virtually always be used in a cutting cycle. There is a whole range of other compounds that people use with Clenbuterol to burn even more fat, improve muscle definition and prepare for competitions.

These are some of the most common compounds that are stacked with Clenbuterol:

• Winstrol  – a powerful anabolic steroid with excellent fat-burning properties and anabolic activity that helps preserve lean muscle considerably more than Clenbuterol can on its own. Winstrol will also add in increased strength and power and better recovery to your cycle.
• Anavar  – another potent cutting steroid with generally fewer side effects than Winstrol. Often used by females for this reason. Anavar comes with powerful fat-burning properties, but also allows another level of lean muscle and strength gains that go well above and beyond what can be achieved solely with Clenbuterol.
• Cytomel (T3) – is a naturally occurring thyroid hormone used in hypothyroidism which is a condition that causes weight gain due to a slowed down metabolic rate. This is a very powerful hormone to take and only for advanced users because the side effects can be harsh. T3 is used for serious and extreme fat burning often before a competition.

These are just three of the many other compounds that we can stack with Clenbuterol for enhanced fat loss results. However the good must be balanced with the bad, and users must be prepared to deal with additional side effects with every substance you add to a stack.

Clenbuterol Dosages and Administration

Clenbuterol comes in tablet form and is very simple to take – no injections required. If buying Clen from a research lab, it will come in a liquid form. Most people will find the pharmaceutical-grade tablets to be easy to come by and these will usually be the preferred form.

Regardless of your goals with Clenbuterol and your experience level (whether it’s your first time or 50th time using it), the way we use Clen is quite different from anabolic steroids. It’s necessary to increase your dose gradually by starting low and ascending until your desired maximum is reached over weeks. The reason for this is because your body will quickly build a tolerance to Clenbuterol and without increasing the dose, its effects will quickly wane. Ideally, the dosage should be increased every 2-3 days.

It is not however necessary to ramp down your dose once you’ve hit your maximum. Some people will choose to do a gradual decrease, but it is not considered essential or beneficial.

Clenbuterol Dosage for Men

All Clen users including men will start at a low dose at the beginning of the cycle and gradually ramp up the dose. Men can tolerate a higher maximum dosage than most females, in the 120 – 160mcg per day range. As a first-time user it’s wise to start at a very low dose – often 20mcg or 40mcg at the most.

These are standard medical doses and provide a good introduction to Clenbuterol’s effects on your body. An increase of 10mcg every 2-3 days is the standard method of raising the dosage during a male Clenbuterol cycle.

Female Clenbuterol Dosage

Clenbuterol is very often used by females; in fact, it is mostly female celebrities that have made Clen famous for its fat loss abilities. The standard protocol still applies when it comes to gradually increase your Clenbuterol dose throughout the cycle, usually by 10mcg every two to three days.

Women will normally max out the dosage in the range of 80 – 100mcg per day, but it will depend on how your body is responding and how well you tolerate Clenbuterol’s stimulant effects. Some women will choose not to go beyond 60mcg per day and still potentially see decent results.

Coming Off Clenbuterol

While it’s normal and completely recommended to adjust your Clenbuterol dosage progressively higher as your cycle advances, we don’t need to do the same in the opposite direction. That means there’s no rule when it comes to “coming off” Clenbuterol.

Many users will choose to simply stop it completely once the highest dose is reached at the end of the cycle. Some users will decrease the dosage over a few days at the end of the Clen cycle, but most people will find this unnecessary and with no benefit.

Clenbuterol Risks and Side Effects

Clenbuterol, despite not being an anabolic steroid, still comes with a long list of side effects and health risks. Some of these are quite mild and normally short-lived, while others can be extremely steroids – even deadly in the worst cases.

Clenbuterol acts as a stimulant to the central nervous system, so you can expect its initial side effects to be similar to those of other stimulants – even coffee (or lots of it). This will play out differently between each individual. While your response might be mild, others might have severe stimulant side effects that prevent them from using Clenbuterol at all.

These Clenbuterol side effects include tremors or shakiness, and an increase in the heart rate (in some cases this has been recorded up to 180 beats per minute, whereas the normal resting adult heart rate is in the range of 60 to 100 beats per minute), increased anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.

In more severe cases the impacts of this stimulant on the heart can lead to irregular heartbeat which comes about from scarring to the permanent heart.

Increased anxiety and heart palpitations can lead to Clen users feeling like a heart attack is coming on. In these cases, the use of Clenbuterol should be halted.

The overstimulation of the nervous system can lead to insomnia. Repeated insomnia activity and poor sleep raise levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which has a flow-on effect of increasing anxiety and depression and an increase in blood pressure levels. It can also greatly reduce any positive effects you might get from Clenbuterol because cortisol will inhibit the process of fat burning, you will be more likely to eat poorly, and your capacity to work out at intense levels will be hampered.

How to Buy Clenbuterol?

As mentioned earlier, Clenbuterol is only legally purchased in some countries as a prescription medication for asthma and other breathing disorders. That means a doctor’s prescription is required – and doctors will not prescribe Clenbuterol for fat loss use because it is illegal. In the US, Clenbuterol is not sold at all legally which means US residents wanting to use Clen for losing weight need to find an external supplier.

Despite all this, Clenbuterol is not difficult to find. It is one of the most widely available compounds and also one of the cheapest. Manufacturers of anabolic steroids will almost always have Clenbuterol available as well because it is so often utilized by steroid users.

Unlike anabolic steroids, we can find Clenbuterol at pharmaceutical-grade quite easily. This means you aren’t getting a counterfeit or underground lab product, but instead getting the most potent and pure form of Clenbuterol. These pharmaceutical-grade Clenbuterol products are sold in the original tablet form – the same as is prescribed to patients for medical use.

The other avenue for buying Clenbuterol, particularly in the United States, is to take advantage of a known loophole that allows labs to sell Clenbuterol for research purposes only. This form of Clenbuterol is only sold in a liquid form that you drink. This won’t suit all users, but it does provide another option if for any reason you have difficulty in obtaining pharmaceutical-grade Clenbuterol in tablet form.

Even though it is technically legal to purchase Clenbuterol through a research lab, the law requires that you have a legitimate research requirement for doing so. Whether or not you come under scrutiny is a matter of chance, and it’s a chance some people are willing to take. Whichever method you choose to obtain Clenbuterol it is not legal. Just like buying anabolic steroids, Clenbuterol users outside of medically prescribed patients are running the risk of legal penalties if caught.

What Alternatives Are Available?

There’s no denying that the results you can get with Clenbuterol are impressive. That’s if you take the right dosage, do your cycle correctly, stick to a strict diet, keep up your intensive training and try and ignore all the side effects that Clenbuterol will possibly introduce at various stages.

And you’ll want to be pretty lean already before you start using Clenbuterol, or you’re just wasting your time and money and putting your health at risk for what will be disappointing results. This is not a magic fat loss pill, nor is it a general weight loss drug. Because Clenbuterol is too dangerous to use for long periods and too often, you need to use it at a time where you’ll get maximum benefit: and that’s only after you’ve become very lean through other methods.

All this leads me to look very closely at possible alternatives. Clenbutrol is a natural and legal alternative to Clenbuterol which is not dangerous to use over the long term. It also doesn’t cause those awful side effects that Clenbuterol users are all too familiar with. You don’t need to constantly change your dose of Clenbutrol either, because it doesn’t cause those drastic effects on your nervous system.

What Clenbutrol does do is help you burn fat naturally. It boosts your cardio performance without putting your heart under stress as Clenbuterol does. You’ll be able to work out harder and longer and have an increased metabolic rate that gets fat moving quicker. Clenbutrol also helps retain your existing muscle mass while you’re dropping fat.

Clenbutrol is undoubtedly the best natural, safe, and legal Clenbuterol alternative to consider today. If you decide to try Clenbuterol I recommend buying it here.

Clenbuterol FAQs

What does Clenbuterol do to your body?

Clenbuterol is a stimulant for the central nervous system. It increases thermogenesis, which in turn speeds up your metabolism. This leads to more efficient fat loss. In some users, Clenbuterol also suppresses the appetite.

Is Clenbuterol a steroid?

Clenbuterol is not an anabolic steroid, although it is often used alongside steroids. It is in a class of drugs called beta-2 agonists which are bronchodilators used to help asthmatics to breathe better.

How good is Clenbuterol for fat loss?

Clenbuterol is particularly useful for fat loss if you already have a lean physique. Clenbuterol helps you lose the more difficult areas of fat that can be difficult to burn off otherwise. When used in conjunction with a suitable diet and exercise program, Clenbuterol can deliver impressive fat loss results.

Does Clenbuterol build muscle?

Although Clen can potentially help some users gain a small amount of lean muscle, it does not come close to being a muscle-building compound in the way anabolic steroids are. Female Clenbuterol Users might notice a small amount of muscle gain if consuming enough calories.

Is Clenbuterol legal?

Clenbuterol is not legal in the United States for any purpose. It is a legal prescription drug in many other countries, where doctors can prescribe it for asthma. Despite this, most Americans will find pharmaceutical-grade Clenbuterol easy to find for sale because it is such a widely used and available drug. Even though it is not normally regulated as seriously as anabolic steroids are, you still run the risk of legal complications if caught using Clenbuterol without a legitimate prescription.

What are the side effects of taking Clenbuterol?

Clenbuterol comes with many possible short-term and long-term side effects and health risks. These range from headaches and a jittery feeling, to muscle cramps and insomnia. On the more serious end are possible impacts on the heart, especially when Clen is used at high doses or for long periods. It’s recommended to not use Clenbuterol for longer than 8 weeks and to wait several months before using it again to minimize your risk of serious complications.

Does Clenbuterol make you tired?

Drowsiness is listed as a possible side effect of Clenbuterol. This can seem confusing since Clenbuterol is a stimulant, but every person responds differently and if the nervous system is overstimulated, the opposite effect can occur which is tiredness. Inadequate food supply on a strict cutting diet will also contribute to lethargy, as will not drinking enough water.

Does Clenbuterol show on a drug test?

Clenbuterol is a banned substance in the sporting world, and it will show up on a drug test. Testing has shown that it’s detectable in urine for up to ten days after your last dose, despite having a half-life of around 36 hours. This is because today’s extremely advanced and sensitive drug testing methods can detect even the tiniest trace amounts in urine samples.

My Conclusion and Recommendation

Clenbuterol is a powerful thermogenic and fat-burning drug. But its possible side effects can not be ignored. Even some of the relatively mild side effects can become too much for some people to handle.

Clenbuterol’s stimulant effects can often feel like you’ve had several cups of coffee in a row and this does not suit everyone. That’s without even repeating the very real risk it can have on your heart health with long-term use.

Those are the downsides of Clenbuterol, and they are ones that you must seriously consider before using Clen for the first time.

The pros of Clenbuterol are no doubt impressive. For people who are already lean and looking to get rid of some of the most stubborn and difficult to move fat, Clenbuterol can help you reach those goals as well as, or even better than some anabolic steroids.

But is Clenbuterol worth the risk? More and more people, including myself, are now saying no to Clenbuterol.

Particularly when we now have such excellent, safe, natural, and completely legal alternatives like Clenbutrol. No more jittery hands, no more insomnia, and no more risking a heart attack just to lose fat. It’s simply not worth it!

I can fully and confidently recommend Clenbutrol if you want very similar results to Clenbuterol without the alarming health hazards.
