Life would be so great if we could just pop a pill and watch the extra fat disappear from our bodies. Wouldn’t that be swell? It is normal to want fast results. We all want to achieve our goals quickly.
That is why hundreds of thousands of people search on Google for Clenbuterol.
Is Clenbuterol the magic pill we need to get in the best shape of our life? Or maybe it is just overhyped?
Here is the deal:
There are many things in life we should all know how to do. For example, I only recently learned how to tie a tie. So I am not an expert on every single thing in this world. But when it comes to Clenbuterol, I know my stuff! I used it, I read about, and I talked to many people that have tried it.
So when I was asked to write this review, I was happy to offer my knowledge and experience.
Let’s dive in:
A small introduction for people that are not familiar with Clenbuterol. It is a drug, it isn’t a steroid. It has 2 main uses:
- Bronchodilator sounds complicated. It helps people and animals with breathing.
- Fat Burner. Does not sound complicated and the name explains all.
Often times it is called the “relative of ephedrine” which is also very often used as a fat burner. Clenbuterol is often used among bodybuilders. They use it to get rid of the fat and keep the muscle mass.
Clenbuterol History
Clenbuterol came for the first time in the 70s. In the beginning, it was used on horses that had problems with breathing.
It would open up their airways and help them to breathe normally. People realized that when you give it to cattle, they start losing fat. That means better meat.
Very often in Mexico, you can find traces of it in the meat. Some MMA fighters use it when they are getting ready for a fight today. So when bodybuilders learned what Clenbuterol did to cattle they tried it themselves. Because there was a steep increase in people using it, scientist got to work and did some research.
They learned that it is a Beta2-agonist. This simply means that it increases the creation of adrenaline. That causes the temperature of the user to go up. That is why people that use Clenbuterol sweat, and they sweat profusely. That process is named thermogenesis.
Thermogenesis boosts the metabolic rate and that causes faster burning of calories. So in short, Clenbuterol will increase the body temperature and it will speed up your metabolism so that you can go through calories faster.
This will result in:
- A fast increase in burning fat
- More energy
- Better workouts
- Lowers the appetite
- Burning of fat
- Preserving muscle mass
Sounds great!
It sure does. As a matter of fact, some Hollywood celebrities are known to have used it to help them with weight loss.
But don’t rush in making your final decision about Clenbuterol, there is more information that you should be aware of before choosing it for yourself.
Why People Take This Supplement?
The majority of people that take it, they take it for one for these two reasons:
- They want to have better athletic performance.
- People that want to lose weight without losing muscle mass.
In the world of athletic performance, there is a heated debate as to whether this product can really increase physical performance or not. Studies were done on this topic so far give no evidence to support the claim that it does. But when it comes to weight-loss, and speeding up the process of losing weight, that is certain.
There are no doubts!Studies were done on animals and people, both confirm that it can speed up the metabolic rate in the body which stimulates faster fat burning.
Clenbuterol is not a steroid. But even though it is not a steroid, nonetheless it increases the synthesis of muscle protein in the body. And that can help the body to keep muscle mass while losing fat!
For these reasons, it has become extremely popular with bodybuilders. Some of them are convinced that the anabolic effects of this product are so powerful that they can further improve muscle building. But like we previously said, studies which have been conducted in the past give no evidence in support of these claims.
Is Clenbuterol good for Weight Loss?
When we are talking about this supplement as a weight-loss supplement, there are no uncertainties. It works. But many people debate on the topic of how powerful it actually is when it comes to fat burning.
Some say that it can increase your metabolic rate by 10%. Now let’s take this number and accept it for the sake of the argument. If that number is true, 10% of BMR increase is not that great. Especially if we are talking about people that already have a high BMR (2200 calories daily)/ So if you add it to your diet you BMR would increase by 220 calories. And that means losing half a pound of fat per week.
Also, you should not take this product for more than 12 weeks, because our bodies will build up a tolerance which lowers the effectiveness. That is why one cycle of using Clenbuterol can help you lose 3 pounds of fat. So the results are not magical but they are there, and they do happen faster!
How Does it Work?
This product will stimulate beta two receptors. Beta two receptor control the metabolic rate of the body or BMR. It imitates natural adrenaline which results in a faster rate of fat burning. To be even more specific this supplement increases thermogenesis in the body.
During this process, the cells in your body burn fat(lipids) and sugar(glucose) into power for the body, energy! Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!
The human body is always consuming calories and fat to make heat, to keep the internal body temperature stable.
If you take this product your inner body temperature will rise slightly and that will cause the body to consume more fat and calories.This increased consumption of fat and calories, combined with regular exercise and a healthy diet can give you faster weight-loss results. You can find a lot of testimonials about this product online and the majority of them are positive. You can see that for yourself. Some of them say it also reduces appetite.
Because of its anti-catabolic effect, it is extremely popular with bodybuilders who want to lose weight and keep their lean muscles! Its anabolic effect is not great. But it does increase body mass (non-fat) A lot of top-level athletes use it in cycles in combination with some cutting steroids.
How Should You Use Clenbuterol?
Firstly, I will tell you who should definitely avoid it!
- Pregnant women should not use it.
- If your body fat is more than 25%.
- If you have heart problems.
- If you suffer from serious health problems.
- You do not want to go to jail. Clenbuterol is illegal.
This is a serious drug that should be used properly. If it is not used properly it can cause some serious troubles for you!
Okay, now it comes in 3 versions; oral, liquid and injection.
- Injections can lead to scars and bubbles of air forming in the blood.
- The oral one can have some negative effects on the liver.
- The liquid one is hard to dose properly.
Most people use the oral one.
If you decide to use Clenbuterol, these are some very important tips:
- Human body builds up a tolerance to Clenbuterol. So it should not be used for more than 12 weeks.
- Should be used in the morning. IF you use it later it might lead to trouble with sleeping.
- Add potassium and taurine to prevent cramps.
- At maximum use 120 mcg a day.
- We mentioned that the liquid one is hard to dose properly, you should be aware of that before buying anything.

Clenbuterol Cycle
When it is being taken correctly and combined with a good diet and regular exercise, this product can do great things for your body.
It is possible to lose as much as 10-20 pounds of fat in only one month time if used correctly!
By retaining the muscle mass after the cycle it helps you to further continue losing fat even when the cycle is over.
Like we explained earlier this product uses fat as fuel. It makes you thinner but it leaves you with enough of energy for a solid workout. Because of increased thermogenesis and higher body heat you will sweat more. If you hydrate properly, this will help you to not only eliminate the weight but a lot of toxins as well.
The most dramatic effect you will experience from using this product is the increase in the aerobic capacity of the lungs! If you add it to you daily program you will notice a great change in your lung capacity and that will naturally follow an increase in endurance!
Because it will open up your bronchial tubes, it will also increase the energy that your body needs. And because of it, you will burn more calories and fat in a single workout than ever before!
These are the most common Clenbuterol cycles used
- The Pyramid cycle
- The 6-week cycle
- The 12-week cycle
A lot of bodybuilders, especially professionals prefer the two-week cycle because they think it gives them the fastest and most significant results.
Their experience plays a big part here. They know that, but intense workouts are not sustainable for a prolonged period of time.
That is why they choose the 6-week cycle. A person, who is using it for the first time very, should not take more than 40mcg first time they take it.
Different Clenbuterol Cycles for Both Men and Women
There are many different ways to use it. I am going to tell you about the most common ways of using Clenbuterol.
Again it is important to remember that our bodies build up a tolerance to Clenbuterol. THat is limiting the use to 12 weeks and upping the does during those 12 weeks is extremely important. The problem with upping the dose makes sure that it stays effective but it also increases the risk of some side effects occurring.
The Clenbuterol Pyramid Cycle
This way of using it prevents your body from building up a tolerance to Clenbuterol. This cycle lasts 2 weeks and then you should take 2 weeks off.

Stacking it with T3
Advanced users often times stack Clenbuterol with some other steroids or drugs. T3 is of the most common ones used for stacking with Clenbuterol. Why do they do that? Well, high-level of T3 will speed up the metabolism even further.
People that have low T3 lose weight find it difficult to lose weight compared to people with normal levels of T3. This is some higher level stuff, so if you are a beginner or if you are uncertain about what you are doing, just don’t do it!
A warning for people considering T3: It is relatively safe for men but for women it can mess up the natural balance of T3 after they stop taking it.
If you are going to follow the Pyramid, 6-week or 12-week cycle, there is a way of calculating how much of T3 you need to take. Just multiply Your Clenbuterol dose with 0.75.
So let’s imagine your intake is 40 mcg a day. Then you should take 40*0.75=30 mcg of T3.
If you are on an 80 mcg a day dosage, then you should take 80*0.75=60 mcg of T3 a day.
About Clenbuterol Side Effects
Using Clenbuterol can cause some serious problems. So you should inform yourself thoroughly before making the decision of using it.
Side effects vary from person to person, depending on the dose and the way of use. Some of these short-term effects may occur;
- Difficulty breathing
- Vomiting
- Dryness of the mouth
- Tremors (shaking).
- Cramps
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Nervousness
- A headache
- Sweating
- regular heart rate
The most common side effect of Clenbuterol. If your job requires steady hands you should not use it. Other than that there will be a bunch of people asking if you are alright.
Shakes
Clenbuterol is a stimulant. It can negatively affect your sleep. It is less common than the first one. Sleep is essential for the production of testosterone and overall health. So if it is ruining your sleep you should stop using it or reduce the dosage. Taking it early in the day helps to combat this side effect.
Insomnia
They can get pretty serious from using Clenbuterol.
Headaches
Using Clenbuterol removes potassium and taurine from the body. This can lead to muscle cramping. I mentioned before that if you want to use it, you should also use 3-5g of taurine and 200-400 mg of potassium daily.
Muscle cramping
There are some reports that claim Clenbuterol can cause heart disease and in some cases death.
Heart disease
This is not so common, but it is possible. That is why I can't stress enough how important it is to be well informed on Clenbuterol before you start using it..
Cardiac hypertrophy
After the effects wear down these minor and short-term side effects will wear off too. The long-term side effects are still not fully understood because this is a relatively new drug (30 years).
Long-term side effects might include:
The most serious ones are rare but they are possible. Almost all people get headaches and the shakes. And you will sweat much more. Can the side effects be avoided? Being careful with the dosage is the best thing I can think of, but apart from that, not really. They come with Clenbuterol.
- Risk of bone fracture increases.
- If you have a pre-existing heart condition, it might worsen.
- Degeneration of heart tissue.
- Enlarged heart.
If someone doesn’t hydrate well during the intake and working out, they might experience severe muscle cramps. Bodybuilders and other athletes should take a lot of water during exercise if they are taking this supplement.
If you avoid caffeine it can also help to minimize the chance of muscle cramps. Taurine can also help with this because it relaxes the muscles.
The side effects are not related to gender, but they do happen more often to the gender that is more prone to a condition. For example, men percentage-wise suffer more often from hypertension than women. If they are taking this product it might increase the chances of getting it!
