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

The substance Clenbuterol hydrochloride is also available in various other forms of administration, including syrups, drops, liquids, dosing aerosols, injectable solutions, and granules. Since athletes usually prefer tablets, manufacturers and trade names offering this oral version are listed.

Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. It is not a steroid hormone but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. Its effects,however can by all means be compared to those of steroids. Similar to a combination of Winstrol Depot and Anavar, Clenbuterol can cause a solid, highly qualitative muscle growth which goes hand in hand with a significant strength gain. Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong anticatabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells. For this reason, numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus obtain maximum strength and muscle mass. A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinet fat-burning effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it inereases the body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat for this process. Clenbuterol,in the meantime, is not only a favorite competition compound among professional bodybuilders. An especially intense fat-burning occurs when Clenbuterol is combined with the LT3-thyroid hormone compound Cytomel. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously, since the protein processing is increased. The dosage depends on body weight and can be optimized by measuring the body temperature. Athletes usually take 5-7 tablets,100-140 mcg per day. For women 80-100 mcg/day are usually sufficient. It is important that the athlete begin by taking only one tablet on the first day and then increasing the dosage by one tablet each of the following days until the desired maximum dosage is reached.Following, there are several schedules for taking Clenbuterol.

On the one hand, emphasis is placed on the burning of fat; on the other hand, importance is placed on a balanced relationship between strength and muscle growth as well as fat reduction. The compound is usually taken over a period of 8-10 weeks.Since Clenbuterol is not a hormone compound it has no side effects typical of anabolic steroids For this reason it is also liked by women. Possible side effects of Clenbuterol include restlessness,palpitations,tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased perspiration, insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. Note that these side effects are of a temporary nature and usually subside after 8-10 days, despite continuation of the product. In the meantime, Clenbuterol is well distributed on the black market and costs between $0.70 and $1.20 per 0.02 mg tablet. Throughout Europe the substance Clenbuterol hydrocloride must be prescribed by a physician. Clenbuterol is not officially available in the U.S.

hey vince thought id add in some info about the clenx and superclen that has recently appeared on the market.
clenx means extra strength clen... it is .2mcg per tab so that means it is 10x stronger than regular clen.

superclen is .5mcgs so it is 50x stronger than regular clen. it has 10mgs ketofin added to help reduce the side effects of a higher dose. dosage should start at a quarter tab per day then gradually work your way up to 1 tab a day. the sides i have experienced from this are headaches, trembling of the hands and knees, profuse sweating and rapid heartbeat. do not go over 1 tab per day of this, it will fuk you up or kill you. stay safe.
