Clenbuterol Hydrochloride (HCL)

Clenbuterol Clena-Med is a medication that is sometimes used in bodybuilding and sports, although it has been banned in professional sports since 1992. It was added to the list of anabolic substances maintained by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) banned its use by athletes.

The purpose of using clenbuterol is to burn body fat and maintain muscle mass while following a low—calorie diet, the so-called drying.

Clenbuterol belongs to the class of beta-2 agonists and stimulates beta-2-adrenergic receptors in the body. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine, which speeds up metabolism and promotes fat burning. In addition, the medication:

  • Slows down the synthesis and breakdown of protein compounds, which allows you to maintain muscle mass while following a diet.
  • Dulls appetite.
  • Accelerates metabolic processes.
  • Blocks the formation of new fat deposits.

However, it is important to remember that the fat-burning effect of clenbuterol is not independent. It only works in combination with well-designed workouts and a diet.

Indications for the use of clenbuterol in bodybuilding and sports

1. Pre—competition training - clenbuterol can be used by athletes seeking to maximize their gained muscle mass in a low-carb diet and reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat.

2. After completing the course of anabolic steroids — to slow down catabolic processes and maintain strength indicators.

3. Improving the quality of training — a small dose of clenbuterol before training (20-40 mcg) can increase blood supply to muscles and improve strength performance.

Contraindications to the use of clenbuterol

Clenbuterol is banned in sports, as it can be detected during anti-doping control for a long time. This is due to the fact that it accumulates in adipose tissue and is released during physical activity or competition.

Side effects of clenbuterol

Improper intake of clenbuterol can lead to serious side effects, including tachycardia and increased blood pressure.. Some possible side effects are nausea, headaches, insomnia, increased excitability, anxiety, cardiac arrhythmias, increased blood pressure, tremor (trembling of the hands).

The duration of admission usually does not exceed two weeks. Long-term use can be addictive, and the effectiveness of the medication will decrease. After a two-week course, it is necessary to take the same break, and then repeat the course.
