Clenbuterol is not a steroid but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. It has a strong anti-catabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells. Its used after an AAS cycle to balance out the catabolic phase and preserve strength and muscle mass. A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinct fat-burning effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it increases the body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat for this process. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously, since the protein processing is increased.
100-140 mcg per day is the average dose taken 8-10 weeks. Since Clenbuterol is not a hormone compound it has no side effects typical of AAS.
Side effects of Clenbuterol include restlessness, palpitations, tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased per-spiration, insomnia, possible muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. These disapate after a few days of coming off.
It can be a very dangerous drug causing cardiac arrest in high doses. Doses are in Mcg not Mg.
