Clenbuterol is one of the most famous and talked about weight loss supplements across bodybuilding forums.  It has been known to be a hardcore fat burner that works possibly even more effectively than ephedra. Clenbuterol has been known to give you certain benefits in general, and many have obtained it, albeit through unconventional methods to say the least.

However, that’s not the whole picture.  One must first of all consider the original use of Clenbuterol.  Clenbuterol is actually used to treat asthma in horses. It was first used therefore by veterinarians and farmers that deal with horses on a regular basis.  This obviously brings up some concern.  I mean obviously, it wasn’t originally used for weight loss or fat burning.  And second, horses are huge animals.  You cannot measure the amounts or uses needed in an animal that big as compared to most humans to say the least.

So is there any basis in results for this concern?  Clenbuterol has been known to cause a number of unsafe and even severe side effects. Yes, it does work.  But these results cannot be properly tempered to say the least considering the side effects.  Side effects commonly include unexplained ballooning of weight similar to prescription Phentermine, heart attacks, strokes, liver damage, and otherwise quite serious side effects definitely comparable to ephedra to say the least.

But that’s not the end of it.  One should note that Clenbuterol is illegal! You cannot actually legally use it for weight loss or in humans in any capacity in the United States.  There is a basis for the concern obviously due to the side effects, and frankly it should only ever be used in horses.  The only way people would get it would be through farmers and veterinarians for obvious reasons.  Vets would lose their licenses and both groups would possibly be jailed due to all the problems.  And of course, those buying it are putting themselves in danger in more ways than one.

So all in all, Clenbuterol is not worth it.  It does give you benefits.  But the benefits seem to wear off rather quickly, and the body becomes immune to all possible benefits. However, its side effects have never really been known to go away, and they can be long term to say the least.  There is obviously a reason why it is not legal, and you should not go beyond the experts, assuming you know better because it is working for you right now.

It is not something to be taken at all lightly, and we would definitely recommend that you find something else.  There is a reason it was never actually legal for use in humans, and there is a reason why concern continues to grow despite the fact that realistically speaking people aren’t supposed to be taking it.  Because like steroids, people still choose to.  The problem is unlike steroids, it causes even more serious problems.
