Intro

Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is a bronchodilator which is approved around the world to treat asthma and other breathing problems.  It has never been approved by the United States FDA (food and drug administration), because of the widespread use of other asthma medications such as corticosteroids.

In fitness, Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is used for its thermogenic properties to aid in fat loss. Bodybuilders also have a history of using Clenbuterol Hydrochloride, although its use seemed to have peaked during the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

It became wildly popular outside of the fitness community when it was revealed certain celebrities have used it for fat loss, and this phenomenon is still happening in Hollywood  .  From there, many overweight people have tried to copy their ‘skinny heroes’ by taking this drug with varying amounts of success.

How it works

Clenbuterol Hydrochloride works as a sympathomimetic, channeling the nervous system and hitting several receptors.  The beta-2 receptor becomes activated, which results in a reversal of clogged airways, making it easier for asthma sufferers to breathe.  This same action is what causes a rise in metabolic rate in people, which can speed up fat loss, and causes an indirect attack on cellular fat.   Overall, the user will notice a rise in body heat, thanks to the mitochondria of our cells producing and releasing energy.

Rodent studies have also shown Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is anabolic, so you would have the opportunity to gain muscle and strength on it too.  However, this has proven to be a broscience myth, because this anabolism fails to translate to humans.  In fact, those who run it during post cycle therapy have been shown to LOSE MUSCLE and STRENGTH!

Fat loss effects

Since Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is thermogenic, the laws of science make things very simple to understand the secret of how it works.  If your body temperature goes up, you can burn MORE calories doing LESS exercise.  In fact, you will notice when on Clenbuterol Hydrochloride you will start sweating and feeling exhausted much sooner when doing cardio versus taking something like caffeine.

The other side of the coin has shown that users can eat the same amount of food, yet lose body fat.  However, those that cut down on food intake will notice far better results.  Those that struggle with high appetite may also notice they eat less on Clenbuterol Hydrochloride.   All things considered, if you are overweight or obese, it may not be the best option for you at first. Instead, it is a far better choice for those who are ALREADY moderately lean who want to knock off a couple more % of body fat.

Having said that I have seen plenty of overweight people use Clenbuterol Hydrochloride with very fast success.

Celebrity Use

As mentioned above, celebrities will do whatever it takes to look their best ahead of a movie or music video.  Everything from fasting to taking heroine is done to lose weight.  They want to look their very best in front of the cameras.  Some of the more popular stars that have used Clenbuterol Hydrochlorideinclude:

Nicole Richie:

Richie was aided by her good friend Paris Hilton to land roles in shows and become a fashion designer.   After spending her younger years partying it up, she has slimmed down in her 30s thanks to using  Clenbuterol Hydrochloride.

Britney Spears:

Spears hit it big in the late 90’s with her “Baby One More Time” and “Oops” albums.  In fact, I listened to her music while in college because it had a nice beat to it.  She has openly advocated fans that have struggled with weight loss try Clenbuterol Hydrochloride because it worked so well for her.

Victoria Beckham:

Victoria is the wife of famous soccer player David Beckman and also a Spice Girl.  Even after giving birth to several children she still keeps a nice figure thanks to her Clenbuterol Hydrochloride usage.

Side effects

Since it is a stimulant, naturally the sides will only increase as you use it for longer durations and at a higher dosages.  Many users have described the side effects as quite annoying.  I can remember using it and trying to work on my computer.  While I was typing my hands began to tremble.  I also noticed I felt sweaty and thirsty all the time.  If you live in a hot climate I recommend taking cool showers throughout the day to drop your body temperature.

Other users have complained about trouble sleeping at night.  And finally, some have said it gives them heartburn when they lay down.

Since Clenbuterol Hydrochloride has a half-life of 36 hours, even if you stop using it, the drug will be in your system for several days after.  For this reason, you must not abuse this drug!

How to use it

Medical Uses

Countries that use Clenbuterol Hydrochloride for medical purposes will prescribe it at a modest dosage of only 20mcg a day.

Common Uses

For the rest of us who want to burn fat, you will need to use it at a higher dosage.  I recommend starting out at 40mcg per day, then slowly increasing the dosage by 20mcg every 2-3 days, with 100mcg-120mcg being the maximum dosage.

If you notice side effects are too great, then lower the dosage back down.

DO NOT be stubborn and keep the dosage high!

Some recommend to use Clenbuterol Hydrochloride for longer than 2 weeks, however, in my experience, you will not want to run it much longer than that because of the side effects.   For this reason, the typical cookie cutter strategy of running it 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off works perfectly fine.

Bodybuilding Uses

If you are competing, you can start using it 3-5 weeks ahead of your contest, following the same protocol but this time only raising the dosage 20mcg every 4 days or so.

You can run it with anabolic steroids, or as a stand alone.  However, I do not recommend using it when attempting to recover from a steroid cycle during post cycle therapy or bridge.

Where to buy

Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is available overseas and is quite cheap.  In the United States, the only way to acquire it is by having it shipped from another country, or buying it from a research chemical site domestically.  Keep in mind many of these so-called research sites are shady and will sell you product that is dosed incorrectly.  You can learn more about sources and read more about this potent fat burner drug here.
