Note: This is a response to Jeff Behar's later article titled All About Clenbuterol!.
Clenbuterol is a beta-2 agonist and is used in many countries as a broncodilator for the treatment of asthma. Because of it's long half life, clenbuterol is not FDA approved for medical use. Contrary to popular belief, Clenbuterol has a half life of 35 hours and not 48 hours. Taking the long half life into consideration, the most effective way of cycling clenbuterol is 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off for no more than 12 weeks. Ephedrine or Yohimbine can be used in the off weeks. Clenbuterol has two secondary effects that are beneficial to athletes and bodybuilders. The first is a strong anti-catabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is used up in the muscle cells, consequently causing hypertrophy of muscle cells (with proper training, of course). Clen accomplishes this by the stimulation of both type 2 and 3 beta-receptors. 3-beta receptors are more abundant in livestock than in humans. This explains the pronounced anabolic effects on livestock as opposed to humans. Secondly, Clen has a wonderful thermogenic effect. This is the main reason that is included in nearly every cutting cycle in some form or fashion. This means that it slightly raises the body temperature of the person taking it. When the body's temperature rises it burns fat more productively. When stacked with an LT-3 hormone such as Cytomel, the body turns into the fiery pits of hell and burns fat like a stripper scoops up 5 dollar bills on a Friday night. Is available in 10 - 20 mcg tablets or in the .016 mg/gram Ventipulmin Veterinarian brand, specifically made for horses. Clenbuterol is Legal to possess (in Canada).

Side effects include:
The most common side effect is muscle cramps, nervousness, headaches, and increased blood pressure. Muscle cramps can be avoided by drinking 6-8 litres of water and consuming bananas and oranges or supplementing with potassium tablets at 200-400mg a day taken before bed on an empty stomach. Taurine at 3-5grams is a necessity in minimizing cramps. Do not take Clenbuterol Past 4pm and drink plenty of water!
