Description: Clenbuterol is a prescribed Asthma medication
which is catabolic to fat and anabolic to muscle. Clenbuterol's most valid
application seems to be as a pre-contest, cutting drug. It is a Beta-2
adrenergic agonist. This means it acts just like adrenaline (epinephrine)
at a certain type of receptor named Beta-2.
Effective Dose: Clenbuterol is used at 60-120 mcgs per day,
divided throughout the day. 2 days on, 2 days off / 2 weeks on 3 weeks
off.
Pharmaceutical Price: In Mexico, 20 tabs cost $5.
Average Street Price: One Dollar or more per tab.
Cycles Cycles usually last 6-12 weeks. After 2 weeks, the Beta-2
receptors down regulate and impairment of T4 to T3 conversion is impaired.
Research shows that using it for two days on then two days off prevents
attenuation. Apparently, clen has a half-life in the body of 48 hours making
it pretty much irrelevant when you take it. This means that two days on,
two days off, conserves the number of pills you use in a cycle rather than
for receptor downgrade which occurs around two weeks. The three weeks off
between cycles counterbalances the receptor downgrade; the two days on,
two days off reduces the side effects since on the third day of two-on
two-off the concentration is highest.
Stacking: Ephedrine is not advised with clenbuterol as the negative
side effects would be exaggerated. If you use Cytomel (25mcg/day) and Zaditen
(ketotifene) at 10mg/day, you could cut your Clenbuterol dosage down to
less than 1/2 and get a better thermogenic effect. Cytomel fights the deiodinase
impairment. The Zaditen up-regulates the beta-2 receptor. On a clen cycle,
a potassium supplement helps maintain your electrolyte status and reduces
problems with muscle cramping.
Side Effects: Nervousness, tremors of the hands, headaches, early
onset asthma and insomnia. As long as the electrolyte status is maintained
-- (esp. potassium) clen does not cause too many problems. Muscle cramps
are the most common. If you have a job that requires lots of manual dexterity
then clen can be more problematic. The tremor it gives in the hands can
make steady fine movements virtually impossible. Fortunately, this effect
often diminishes over a week or two of continued usage. Clen can have some
serious side effects (like sudden death) at very high dosages. Clen works
but it is hard on your system. Buy a good blood pressure monitor and use
it several times a day. Base your dosage on your BP and resting pulse and
your lack of side effects.
Counterfeits: There is almost no fake clenbuterol as it is too easy
to "feel" it working. "Clenbutedrol" and "Clen
RX" are worthless supplements trying to cash in on the clen mystique.
Effectiveness: Rating: 8
