Clenodyn (Clenbuterol) was originally created as a medicine for bronchial asthma. But now it is actively used in fitness and heavy sports. Its popularity is due to the fact that it burns fat perfectly. Clenodyn is often taken in parallel with Thyroxine or Ketotifen, which enhances the effect.
It must be remembered that Clenodin is not a steroid at all. But it can have an anabolic effect. Clenodyn belongs to the group of adrenergic agonists. They have an effect on the human body due to the activation of beta-2 adrenergic receptors. This leads to activation of the nervous system and the launch of the lipolysis process.
Characteristics and Features
Clenodyn is an effective clenbuterol. This drug has virtually no side effects. The main purpose of Klenodin is to burn fat. While taking the drug, a number of biochemical and physiological reactions are triggered. They lead to the production of cAMP and the mobilization of fatty acids.
When the drug enters the body, it begins to stimulate the production of norepinephrine to fight fat. If you know how to take Clenodyn, you can get great results. The correct dosage of the drug allows you to increase the metabolic process by about 30%. At the same time, the effect of lipoprotein lipase decreases. This leads to blocking the deposition of fats in the tissue. At the same time, the synthesis of hormones that are responsible for the natural process of burning fat increases.
Recommendations for use and side effects
If you still want to try the drug as a fat burner and anabolic steroid, then it is advisable to follow the following recommendations for use:
- the dosage for men should be from 2 to 8 tablets per day, and for women - from 2 to 4 tablets (for weight loss);
- It is recommended to use clenbuterol for weight loss for 4-6 weeks;
- It is advisable to accompany the intake with regular measurement of body temperature;
- to increase strength, the duration of use can be limited to three to four weeks;
- In no case should you combine clenbuterol with ephedrine, as this will inevitably lead to heart problems (ephedrine affects beta 1 receptors associated with the heart);
- first gradually increase the dose (from the 1st to the 6th day), then maintain the dosage for 6 days, and then gradually reduce it;
- If any side effects occur, it is better to stop taking the drug completely.
While consuming clenbuterol, the human body temperature can rise up to half a degree. That is why it needs to be measured and if it returns to normal, it means that the drug has stopped working. There is no need to increase the dosage, but it is better to stop taking it completely. You can lower the dose if losing weight is not the main goal, but there is a desire to increase muscle strength and endurance.
Doctor's opinion
In traditional medicine, clenbuterol is successfully used to prevent painful attacks of suffocation in bronchial asthma or obstructive bronchitis. Being a β2-adrenergic stimulant, through its effect on the corresponding receptors, the drug relaxes the muscle fibers of the bronchi and expands them. However, in recent years, fans of bodybuilding, fitness and rapid weight loss have become actively interested in the drug. Alternative uses of clenbuterol are explained by the following mechanisms of its effect on the body:
- causes lipolysis (fat breakdown), thanks to a whole cascade of sequential biochemical reactions, as a result of which enzymes are produced that promote the release of fatty acids from fat cells - adipocytes;
- stimulates the synthesis of catecholamines (stress hormones - norepinephrine and adrenaline), which have a complex effect on many processes, including the “burning” of fat;
- neutralizes lipoprotein lipase, which promotes the accumulation of “new” fat in tissues;
- increases the production of thyroid hormones, which are also associated with weight loss;
- protects muscle fibers from destruction under intense loads (this effect is especially valued by bodybuilders, since along with fat loss, muscle relief improves and “drying” of muscles occurs).
The listed “magical” qualities are inherent only in clenbuterol tablets, since the syrup contains too much sugar, which neutralizes these effects. The drug is taken for 2 weeks according to special regimens that provide for a gradual escalation of the dose. If necessary, the course is repeated after another half month.
At the same time, only a person with exceptional health can allow such experiments on himself. After all, even asthmatics who take clenbuterol in therapeutic doses (up to 80 mcg for severe asthma) often encounter its side effects, some of which are very serious. Their appearance is explained by the fact that drug-specific β2-adrenergic receptors are found not only in adipose tissue, bronchi and visible muscles. When taking it, the following may develop:
- arrhythmias (the medicine increases myocardial contractility);
- cardiopalmus;
- spasm of blood vessels (including coronary ones, which can lead to an attack of angina or even myocardial infarction);
- convulsions;
- tremors of the limbs (tremor);
- inner restlessness;
- insomnia;
- sweating;
- drop in blood pressure (even to the point of shock);
- headache;
- rise in temperature;
- nausea;
- diarrhea;
- rash;
- abortion.
And the doses of clenbuterol recommended for “burning” fat reach 100 – 140 mcg. At the same time, the drug does not work alone; to achieve the desired effect, accompanying physical activity and a low-calorie protein diet are necessary. Therefore, you can use clenbuterol only with permission and under the supervision of a doctor. Before doing this, it is highly advisable to be examined to exclude:
- any cardiovascular ailments (and it would be good not to limit yourself to a banal ECG, but to conduct daily monitoring of cardiac activity to exclude hidden arrhythmias and problems with blood flow);
- early pregnancy;
- hyperfunction of the thyroid gland.

Clenbuterol (tablets or syrup) can cause a number of undesirable effects, which you should pay attention to and, if this occurs, abandon this method of losing a few kilograms:
- tremor;
- insomnia;
- excessive sweating;
- high blood pressure and headaches;
- nausea;
- arrhythmia and other heart problems;
- the appearance of seizures due to potassium loss.
In addition, the drug market is often “flooded” with counterfeits. Pills with an uncertain composition can not only significantly harm health, but also lead to death, but the price of a counterfeit is usually lower than that of the original.
When taking clenbuterol, side effects can be minimized using the optimal regimen or combining it with other drugs. To do this, it is recommended to use antihistamines, including ketotifen. Clenbuterol with ketotifen can be used using the following rules:
- from the 1st to the 4th day you need to drink only clenbuterol;
- on the 5th day one microgram of ketotifen is added;
- then, until the 27th day of the course, the dose of clenbuterol is increased, and the dose of ketotifen is two micrograms;
- from the 29th day there is a gradual reduction in dosage: clenbuterol to 35 mcg, and ketotifen to 1 mcg.
At the end of the course, a two-week break is required.
Positive Impact
Clenodyn has virtually no equal drugs. It also has an anti-cabolic effect, that is, it protects muscles from destruction. When you need to dry your muscles and want to get rid of excess fat, you should also take care of protecting your muscles. Clenodin is capable of providing all these effects. Its effectiveness has been repeatedly proven not only in research, but also in practice.
Despite all the above properties, the drug cannot be called an anabolic. It does not have pronounced anabolic effects. This nuance is important for many athletes. Clenodin is also able to dilate the bronchi, which makes breathing easier. So the drug really has unique properties, which makes it so popular.
What is clenbuterol?
According to its pharmacological effects, clenbuterol is classified as a bronchodilator. It is most often produced in the form of tablets, but sometimes you can also find clenbuterol syrup (or injection solution). The drug acts on the sympathetic nervous system and beta receptors and helps block asthma attacks in people with asthma.
Taking the substance stimulates beta 2 receptors to a large extent (those associated with the lungs) and has a very weak effect on beta 1 receptors (associated with the heart).
Thanks to this, you can stop an asthma attack caused by stress and not affect the functioning of the heart muscle.
Like many other medications, clenbuterol has been tested on animals. It was then that the anabolic effect of the substance on the muscles of rats was noticed. In addition, by its nature the drug is thermogenic and promotes fat burning. However, there is no 100% confirmation of this information from medicine yet, since animal and human organisms differ from each other. Moreover, recent studies conducted with the help of bodybuilders have shown that clenbuterol may well not only cause many health problems, but also lead to loss of muscle mass.
In any case, before taking clenbuterol for weight loss, you should carefully read the instructions and be sure to consult your doctor. For any underlying health problems, such experiments can cause unpredictable consequences.
Advantages:
- effective fat burning;
- drying muscles;
- slight anabolic effect;
- anti-catabolic effect;
- decreased appetite;
- normalization of mental state;
- improved breathing and protection of the bronchi.
The drug begins to act 15 minutes after administration. Its effect lasts for 24 hours. It is at this time that the effect occurs. Finding flaws in this fat burner is difficult, even almost impossible. The only drawback, of course, is the cost of the drug, but it quickly justifies itself.
How does clenbuterol work?
“Maple” can be used for different purposes: both for weight gain and fat burning.
When gaining muscle mass, the drug is used only in high dosages - 300–400 mcg per day. With this amount, clenbuterol has a catabolic effect and at the same time promotes the release of growth factors from damaged fibers. Therefore, if you add testosterone to the process, you can achieve impressive muscle growth.
In addition, clenbuterol somewhat reduces the body's resistance to insulin, so that glucose is used more efficiently rather than stored.
However, the main feature of the drug is the ability to “switch” the body to use subcutaneous fat as the main source of energy. This is very relevant for bodybuilding, and here's why.
Most bodybuilders eat a high protein diet. As a result, the body gets used to extracting energy from what it receives, that is, from proteins. Muscles are also often used, the building of which, in fact, is what the entire training process is aimed at. Making the body “remember” fats as a source of energy is not easy, but clenbuterol can do it. Thus, on the one hand, “maple” helps to actively use fat reserves, and on the other hand, it preserves muscles.
Clenbuterol exists in the form of tablets and injection solution. The tablet form is often found in our pharmacies, but the injection solution is almost never found. Although the latter option is very convenient for local fat burning. Let's make a reservation right away that we are not talking about completely burning fat in a certain place - it will not be possible to get rid of deposits on the hips or anywhere else without training and diet correction.
However, it is quite possible to enhance fat burning processes in problem areas with the help of clenbuterol injections. Noticeable results can be obtained after one and a half to two months of regular injections and subject to a special diet.
Side effects
Before taking Clenodyn, you should check whether it has any side effects. There may still be a negative impact, but it can be easily eliminated.
Side effects:
- Shiver. It occurs only in 20%. It can be eliminated by taking Ketotifen;
- Sweating increases. May occur only in 10%, eliminated by Ketotifen;
- Sleep disturbance. It happens in 7% and Ketotifen will help cope with this problem;
- Increased anxiety. Observed only in 6%, it is recommended to drink Ketotifen;
- Violation of heart activity. It happens in 6% and can be eliminated by taking Metopropol or Bisoprol;
- Diarrhea in 5%;
- Nausea at 3%.
No side effects were found in women. The drug has the same effect as on men. Store Clenodin at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees.
How to take Clenodyn to achieve the desired effect?
The drug is taken according to a specially developed regimen. In men, the dosage should not exceed 149 mcg per day, and in women not higher than 100 mcg. It is best to take the drug for two weeks. Longer use is not necessary. If you take Clenodin for more than two weeks, a habit of the drug begins to arise and there will be no effect.
Clenodin is often used together with Ketotiphon. This is necessary to prevent side effects. In addition, the fat burning drug will be more effective in this combination. So you need to adhere to frequency, that is, take a break between courses of taking Klenodin.
A study was conducted in 2010. It was proven that the combination of Clenodyn with anabolic steroids leads to a synergistic effect. So it is necessary to include this drug in the AAC course. Clenodin is also taken with steroids, where it has a fixing effect. So athletes don’t have to worry about the results. Depending on the AAC, the dosage of Clenodyn is selected.
If we consider the course of taking Clenbuterol by day, the following scheme will appear. From the first to the sixth day, the dosage is increased daily by 20 mcg, that is, day 1 – 20 mcg, day 2 – 40 mcg, and so on. Then from the sixth to the twelfth day the drug is consumed daily at 120 or 140 mcg. From the 13th day, they begin to drink 20 mcg less of the drug daily. When two weeks of taking the drug are over, you should take a break for two weeks. The drug is taken in the morning and before bedtime.
Clenodyn has positive reviews. Athletes actively use them to dry muscles. In the body, the drug stimulates the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine. This is what allows you to effectively burn fat. The correct dosage allows you to achieve the desired result without compromising your health.
Reviews of clenbuterol for weight loss
Despite the potential health risks, the popularity of anabolic steroids, including ephedrine and clenbuterol, is still growing. Therefore, it would be useful to read a number of reviews about the use of this substance:
I took clenbuterol on the advice of my trainer. Result: 4 kilograms in two weeks. Side effects were observed only during the first week in the form of insomnia and palpitations. Then everything stopped, but performance increased significantly. One thing confuses me: if you follow a diet, you can lose this much weight without medications, without causing harm to your health. I am for carrots and low-fat cottage cheese!
Konstantin, 24 years old
I did not like. I just started taking the pills and began to feel trembling in my knees and palms. On the second day, my blood pressure rose noticeably and my temperature rose slightly, and a migraine began. My trainer advised me to wait a few days, as the side effects should disappear, but I couldn’t stand it and quit taking it. I will never try pills again, but will continue to use sports nutrition.
Anastasia, 26 years old
I have been taking clenbuterol with ketotifen for three weeks now. There are no side effects, the weight comes off evenly and quickly. However, the question is always tormenting me: will there be any health problems in the future? I have not yet received a definite answer either from the coach or from an endocrinologist I know.”
Denis, 29 years old
My experience with clenbuterol almost ended in trouble. At first everything was fine, only my hands were shaking a little, but by the evening of the second day everything went away. On the third day, according to my usual schedule, I went for a morning jog and after 10 minutes I felt pain in my chest. Then an arrhythmia occurred, I was forced to stop and walk home. The discomfort disappeared only after 1.5 hours, I even had to skip going to work. I haven’t complained about my heart before, so I attribute this situation to taking clenbuterol. This is how the story went.
Victor, 27 years old, former professional athlete
The human desire to have a slim body without exhausting loads is as old as the world. But the proverb “You can’t pull a fish out of a pond without effort” appeared much earlier than the fashion for thinness. Moderation at the table, an active lifestyle and daily employment will give not only beauty, but also health, without side effects or bad mood. But the result will please you throughout your entire life, and not just a few weeks or months
