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.

There are some studies which indicate that long-term use of clenbuterol may inhibit your ability to sustain itself through endurance exercises. Considering the fact the most people take clenbuterol to enhance endurance and to burn fat this is very counterproductive. 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.

  • One of the more critical Clenbuterol side effects which can occur is developing a very serious allergic reaction to it.
  • Clenbuterol juiced rodent’s experienced detectable cardiac-cell degeneration.

The upside is that most side effects experienced as one takes the drug seem to fade away as the body becomes used to the drug. Consulting your doctor is highly recommended especially if you have previously suffered from high blood pressure or cardiovascular problems.

Clenbuterol

Clenbuterol, also referred to as the "Size Zero Pill" is a drug widely used by body builders and dieters who want to lose weight fast. It is widely acclaimed as a miracle diet pill that will help one get to "Size Zero," the smallest dress size available. Clenbuterol is used by many celebrities who want to lose weight fast. Many fans of these celebrities also follow in their footsteps by taking the pill. Most people who take the drug prefer the tablet form over the liquid form. The most common Clenbuterol dosage is 20mcg but 40mcg is also available. Most men take about 5 to 8 pills a day while women take between 1 to 4 pills. The dosage one should take depends on how well they are responding to the drug's side effects.

If you want to start using Clenbuterol, it is more advisable that you create a tolerance for the dosage through a cycle. 20 to 40mcg per day is advisable for first time users. After using Clenbuterol for 3 to 4 weeks, the drug's nerve stimulation and fat burning effects start to slow down. After 6 to 8 weeks, the drug loses its thermogenic effects causing your body temperature to drop back to normal. Its anti-catabolic/anabolic properties fade away around the 18th day. This is why the drug should be taken in an on-and-off cycle to make it more effective. You should create a cycle that lasts around two to three weeks before stopping the drug's usage and starting the process all over again. Using Clenbuterol for a long period of time is not recommended.

How Clenbuterol Works
The drug works by rapidly increasing the body's functions. It speeds up blood pressure, aerobic capacity, oxygen burning, protein burning, and fat burning. The drug stimulates the central nervous system by acting like adrenaline. This makes it an excellent drug for people who want to lose weight quickly.


The drug quickens thermogenesis causing your blood pressure to rise, your body's core temperature to increase, and your heart to become stimulated. Thermogenesis combined with the quick burning of fats and proteins results in an increased metabolic rate. More calories are burnt and fat is shed off, leading to rapid weight loss. Clenbuterol effectively reverses the effects of insulin and hinders its actions. This process causes released glycogen to be converted into glucose in the blood stream. Glycogen is therefore hindered from being produced causing you to lose weight.
