Clenbuterol 40mcg

Clenbuterol (“Clen”) is a powerful stimulant and bronchodilator. It is not an anabolic steroid. It was developed to treat asthma in horses and is not approved for human use in most countries. It is illicitly used as a potent thermogenic agent for rapid fat loss.

Critical Safety Warning: High Risk of Cardiovascular Damage

Clenbuterol is a potent stimulant that places extreme stress on the heart. Misuse can lead to dangerously elevated heart rate, cardiac arrhythmia, palpitations, and even cardiac arrest. The risk of overdose is significant and can be fatal.

What is Clenbuterol?

Mechanism and Effects

Clenbuterol stimulates the beta-2 adrenergic receptors. This action increases the body’s core temperature (thermogenesis) and metabolic rate, causing it to burn more calories, primarily from fat. It also has bronchodilator effects, which is why it was investigated for asthma.

Medical Status

Clenbuterol is not FDA-approved for human use in the United States. It is prescribed for asthma in some other countries, but the doses used are far lower and more controlled than those taken for fat loss.

Major Health Risks & Side Effects

• Cardiovascular Stress: This is the primary danger. It causes a rapid heart rate (tachycardia), heart palpitations, high blood pressure, and chest pain (angina). Long-term use can lead to cardiac hypertrophy (enlargement of the heart) and an increased risk of sudden death.
• Electrolyte Imbalance: It can deplete the body’s stores of the amino acid taurine, leading to severe and painful muscle cramps.
• Stimulant Side Effects: Users commonly experience severe anxiety, shaking hands (tremors), profuse sweating, and insomnia.
• Overdose Risk: The difference between an effective dose and a toxic dose is small. Overdose symptoms include all of the above in a life-threatening manner.

Legal Status

Clenbuterol is not a controlled substance in the US but is illegal to market for human consumption. It is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and all sports leagues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clenbuterol a steroid?

No. It is a beta-2 agonist stimulant. It has no anabolic properties and will not build muscle.

How much fat can you lose with Clenbuterol?

While it does increase metabolic rate, its effects are often overstated. The extreme cardiovascular risks far outweigh any potential fat loss benefits, which can be achieved more safely through diet and exercise.
