Clenbuterol Health Side Effects

Clenbuterol is a widely recognized drug used by lots of individuals who wish to lose weight quickly, build muscle and enhance their endurance simultaneously. Clenbuterol is not approved by the FDA for medical use because of its long half-life. While it is used in many countries for the treatment of asthma, it is used in the US for treating asthma in horses.

Since the drug is not FDA approved, you cannot buy it legally and this means you may have to resort to buying it from shady online stores or in your local gym’s back alley. Besides the legalities of obtaining the drug illegally, clenbuterol can cause major side effects such as anxiety, strokes, heart attacks, panic attacks, among others.

In tests with laboratory rats it has been observed after three weeks of taking Clen the rodents were shown to have lost some of their capability to sustain their endurance during specific endurance exercises they were exposed too, while the clean rats were fully capable of continuing.

Besides losing their capability to sustain their endurance, the laboratory rats experienced substantial heart enlargement in size compared to the hearts of sedentary rats. The heart enlargement was not due to the result of building it up through endurance exercise but due to a buildup of collagen fibers within the heart and not due to an increase in muscle tissue.

Collagen is a tough connective tissue which will not enhance the cardiovascular system but in fact "stiffens" your heart, most likely resulting in a reduction in cardiac output and could also result in cardiac arrhythmias. This really is detrimental to our overall health and will not improve our overall endurance or capability to pump blood throughout the body.
