Clenbuterol

This is a well-known steroid that promotes metabolism of fat. Clenbuterol is a weight-loss steroid and it is very common in veterinary medicine.

The steroid has a long half-life which makes it ideal for people who want to improve their stamina. For this reason, Clenbuterol is commonly used by athletes.

Clenbuterol steroid can easily be detected in drug tests and it is definitely not recommended for athletes interested in competing in sports.

Apart from being able to stay in the system for longer, there is another reason that makes this steroid popular among athletes – it helps to reduce body fat. Having too much fat as an athlete is an undesirable thing because fat makes you slower and also reduces the percentage of lean muscle in the body.

The steroid is not only used by athletes to lose fat but it is also commonly used by people who want to lose weight for aesthetic reasons. The steroid acts to reduce fat by suppressing a user’s appetite. This causes the body to break down fat for energy in the event that the digestive system does not yield enough energy.

Clenbuterol, being an anabolic steroid, can be used on asthma patients to relieve the symptoms of the respiratory condition. Due to having a long half-life, the steroid is not approved for use as an asthma medication.

The body gets used to the steroid and its effectiveness is reduced only a few weeks after a person starts to take it.

By increasing the dosage, a person only increases the resistance that his or her body has developed towards the steroid thereby negating its effects. In order to counteract the body’s resistance towards the steroid, a person can take anti-histamines after three weeks of starting using the steroid.

Another disadvantage of the steroid is that it exerts pressure on the cardiac system, specifically the heart. People with cardiac conditions such as hypertension should avoid taking this steroid for their own safety.

The side effects of this steroid fade away after some time probably as a result of the body getting used to the effects and developing resistance.

Clenbuterol should be used along with advice from a qualified medical professional.
