Now Clenbuterol, or Clen as it is often called, is more often used by athletes, body builders and people wanting to lose weight because it is known to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat.
There is, however, some controversy surrounding the practice of taking clenbuterol for weight loss as it was never intended to be used for this purpose. Though not approved for human use in the US, you can easily purchase Clenbuterol online.
Tips For Clenbuterol Use
When taken in a cyclic manner for a three week period, Clenbuterol can be very effective at trimming fat and encouraging fast weight loss. After three weeks, however, the body becomes used to the drug, Beta 2 receptors become used to it and no longer respond in the same way to the drug, thus rendering it ineffective if used for longer periods. It is commonly suggested that you take the drug for three weeks, then take a three week break before starting the cycle again.
For those wanting to take Clenbuterol for longer periods, it is suggested that you also take Ketotifen, which will help to keep your Beta2 receptors in better shape. Reportedly, if you combine drugs in this way, you can take Clenbuterol for up to eight weeks safely.
However, after the six to eight weeks you need to take a longer rest period of up to four or five weeks. Ketotifen is an antihistamine, thus taking it can make you drowsy so it is best taken at night.
As with any other weight loss drug, just taking Clenbuterol tablets alone for a three week course may not work when it comes to getting rid of excess fat. If you want to lose weight and sustain that weight loss during the three weeks that you aren't taking Clenbuterol, you need to follow a daily exercise program. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to your diet, and make sure that you are eating healthful foods and drinking plenty of water and other healthy liquids.
Clenbuterol Side Effects
As the drug is prohibited in the US, there have not been a lot of studies done on the safety of Clenbuterol use. Similar to another popular weight loss product, ephedrine, Clenbuterol does cause side-effects in some people who take it such as accelerating the heart rate, elevating blood pressure and causing headaches.
It is ultimately up to the individual whether or not they choose to risk using a controversial drug such as Clenbuterol. Even though there have been many 'successful' clenbuterol weight loss stories floating around about 'fast weight loss' results after using the drug, for me personally, the potential significant health risks and side effects from taking this kind of drug just far outweigh the benefits.
