Clenbuterol Thermogenic Effects

Clenbuterol works very quickly and you should feel the chemical within an hour after intake. Clenbuterol will elevate the body temperature (half of a degree or so) as a result of your body burning excess energy largely from fat. Clenbuterol should also only be used for a relatively short period of time (2 to 3 weeks), because the body will adjust and get used to it (making the effect of clenbuterol negligible largely due to beta-receptor down regulation.

For strength gains, clenbuterol appears to be limited but effective. This may be due to an absence of real anabolic effect, with the strength gain seen with clenbuterol possibly due only to the stimulant properties of the drug (similar to the strength boost seen by Ephedrine users).

Side Effects

Nothing comes without some sort of a cost. Like any other CNS stimulant drug there can be side effects such as the shakes, insomnia, sweating, increased blood pressure and nausea. These side effects will generally subside after a week or so of use however, as your body becomes accustomed to the drug. You should still check with a doctor before using any CNS stimulant

The actual effects of long-term clenbuterol intake on performance, muscle power, and overall health have been pretty much unclear though.

Minimizing Side Effects

So, to minimize negative effects and to optimize the benefits you should tailor your dosage based on your body’s reaction. It is also recommended that you cycle on and off to increase effectiveness. Many people also find, the fat burning effect of clenbuterol can be further enhanced by additional substances such as Synthroid or the powerful thyroid hormone Cytomel.

This makes the thermogenic effect extremely dramatic. This can be to a point that the athlete could shred exceptional amounts of extra fat during contest preparations, without a dramatic restriction in calories.

Clenbuterol – A CNS Stimulant

Clenbuterol belongs to a broad group of drugs knows as sympathomimetics because of its effects on the sympathetic nervous system. Clenbuterol is specifically a selective beta-2 sympathomimetic, primarily affecting only one of the three subsets of beta-receptors.

Because Clenbuterol has little beta-1 stimulating it reduces reversible airway with much less cardiovascular side effects compared to nonselective beta agonists. This is why it is an extremely effective

bronchodilator, with a low level of user complaints.

Clenbuterol – Benefits

I have a science background and as such have read up on many fat burners such as ephedrine and clenbuterol before they were banned. As such I am very aware of the reported benefits and side effects of clenbuterol use.

Medicinally clenbuterol is typically used as an asthma cure by opening breathing pathways by increasing bronchodilation. In terms of action this drug is best likened to the now also illegal ephedrine and its legal replacement, ma huang.

Athletes use clenbuterol for two primary reasons:

1. To increase metabolic speed. Clenbuterol is shown to directly stimulate fat cells and accelerate the breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids.

2. Clenbuterol is also known to increase strength and endurance of muscles by allowing more efficient transportation of oxygen into cells.

In animal studies, clenbuterol is shown to exhibit anabolic activity, but a review published in the August 1995 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise states that the possible anabolic activities in humans are very questionable, and based only on animal data using much larger doses than would be required for bronchodilation. This debate continues today, with many still using clenbuterol as a potential anabolic boost.

Clenbuterol Hydrochloride – also called SizeZeroPill,

has topped the fat burner charts in recent times. As the tabloid press reported there are many celebs that used Clenbuterol to drop large amounts of weight in a very short time. Clenbuterol is not an anabolic steroid. It is originally a bronchodilator to treat asthma and other conditions. Popular brand names are clenbuterol spiropent or oxyflux. The tablet form is preferred over any liquids and the dosage is usually 20mcg, but even 40mcg is now available. Clenbuterol operates mainly by increasing the production and secretion of catabolic hormones, which are secreted from the adrenal region. Now these hormones have a wide variety of functions. First of all they seem to alter the contractile characteristics of smooth muscle, but very specifically. Some will apparently be stimulated, and others inhibited. Amongst those inhibited, the smooth muscles in the bronchial tree, which explains its soothing effect in patients with breathing problems. What it also does, and what is the main factor in weight loss – it increases thermogenesis. This usually encompasses a temporary, slight rise in blood pressure, a stimulatory effect of the heart muscle and a resulting rise in body temperature. Along with the reversing of the effects of insulin (and inhibiting the action of insulin) which results in a release of glycogen back into the blood stream as glucose, and an inability to store or use more glycogen, it will increase the rate of protein and fat being burned in the body. The thermogenesis and an increase in the rate of fat being burned, usually has as a result that the metabolic rate of the subject its much higher and he/she burns more calories. This in turn results in loss of adipose tissue (the shedding of fat in other words) revealing a leaner physique and appearance. Working out while using Clenbuterol is a big surplus as the fat burning abiliy will be even increased.

CLENBUTEROL CYCLE

Clenbuterol is best used in a pyramid scheme. Slowly building up the dose may be more important that tapering off of it, as most first time users will rarely if ever know how they will react, so you want to approach your max. daily dosage slowly.

It is best to start with 20-40 mcg per day and slowly work your way up increasing the dose every 2-3 days to a maximum of 160-200 mcg (most find 120 mcg to be adequate). Clenbuterol loses most of its nerve stimulation and fat burning benefits after 3-4 weeks (unless it is used with ketotifen), and using it longer on end would be futile, so a 2-3 week cycle duration is advised. The user is best to discontinue the use for an equal period of time and then recommence again. For most efficient fat-burning goals, clenbuterol is often stacked with another weight loss agent for quick effect, or alternated with another fat burning agent. Usually T3 Cytomel is used for such purposes, with alternating or overlapping cycles of 3 weeks each.

CLENBUTEROL SIDE EFFECTS

Side effects: Consulting with a doctor should be advised for all with high blood pressure and/or previously diagnosed cardio-vascular problems. By building up the dose over time, users will usually see when they've reached a dose that becomes too harsh. The use of clenbuterol will elicit higher body temperature, higher blood pressure and in some cases insomnia and jitters. Side effects may subside after the body got accustomed to the drug.
