clenbuterol????


OKay my friend wants to order this pill called clenbuterol. I have no clue what it is. I have looked it up online and found out that it is really for treating asthma but that it makes you loose weight and that many body builders take it combined with other supplements. Has anyone ever used this or have any opinions on it?

Clenbuterol or 'clen' is a prescription drug that is used to treat asthma, it is a stimulant that is similar to ephedrine that is used by bodybuilders to stimulate metabolic activity, raising body temperature slightly, thus burning bodyfat.

Dosing for men is anything between 5 and 8 pills a day and 1 to 4 for women.

Here are some links:

http://www.steroidology.com/forum/sh...light=Clen+FAQ

www.muscletalk.co.uk/topic.asp?TOPIC=26469_ID

I have used clen and I have found it to be fairly effective. (although I didn't use it for fat-loss) The side-effects were mild and no worse than I get from ephedrine. They only lasted about 30 mins about an hour after oral administration.

Tablets come in 20 mcg (micrograms not milligrams) tablets so tell your friend to be careful.

Clen's fat-burning properties slow down after about 2 weeks of use, as receptor sites are down-regulated. Clen has also been shown to slow the conversion of T4 into T3 (the hormone most responsible for burning fat) Ephedrine has been shown to stimulate the increase of T3. So telly our friend to switch with an ECA after every 2 weeks use.

Has anyone ever tried to make a localized topical Clen (using liquid clen and one of the localized gels)? I'm just curious if the systemic side effects can be avoided.

That wouldn't work anywhere near as well, infact it may not even work at all and you would need a lot more of the clen. Gotta take the chance bro, what its all about.

With a molecular weight of under 300, I'm curious why would you say it wouldn't work?

"Anywhere near as well...." It would work to a certain extent, but nothing like when you take it orally....give it a try and see.
