Clenbuterol Thermogenic Effects

Clenbuterol works very quickly and you should feel the chemical within an hour after intake. Clenbuterol will elevate the body temperature (half of a degree or so) as a result of your body burning excess energy largely from fat. Clenbuterol should also only be used for a relatively short period of time (2 to 3 weeks), because the body will adjust and get used to it (making the effect of clenbuterol negligible largely due to beta-receptor down regulation.

For strength gains, clenbuterol appears to be limited but effective. This may be due to an absence of real anabolic effect, with the strength gain seen with clenbuterol possibly due only to the stimulant properties of the drug (similar to the strength boost seen by Ephedrine users).

Side Effects

Nothing comes without some sort of a cost. Like any other CNS stimulant drug there can be side effects such as the shakes, insomnia, sweating, increased blood pressure and nausea. These side effects will generally subside after a week or so of use however, as your body becomes accustomed to the drug. You should still check with a doctor before using any CNS stimulant

The actual effects of long-term clenbuterol intake on performance, muscle power, and overall health have been pretty much unclear though.

Minimizing Side Effects

So, to minimize negative effects and to optimize the benefits you should tailor your dosage based on your body’s reaction. It is also recommended that you cycle on and off to increase effectiveness. Many people also find, the fat burning effect of clenbuterol can be further enhanced by additional substances such as Synthroid or the powerful thyroid hormone Cytomel.

This makes the thermogenic effect extremely dramatic. This can be to a point that the athlete could shred exceptional amounts of extra fat during contest preparations, without a dramatic restriction in calories.
