Clenbuterol for weight loss

Clenbuterol is a drug that belongs to the group of stimulants of beta-adrenoreceptors of the second type (beta-2-agonist), which are located in the bronchi. The composition includes clenbuterol hydrochloride.

Produced in two forms:

• Tablets . Contain 0.02 mg of active ingredient.
• Syrup . 5 ml contains 0.01 mg of active ingredient.

Description of the preparation

Due to the fact that clenbuterol has a stimulating effect on the beta-adrenergic receptors of the bronchi, bronchial tubes dilate because of the relaxation of the bronchial muscles (bronchodilator action). Also, the drug dilutes sputum, so that it is better excreted from the respiratory tract (mucolytic effect). As secondary effects, it affects beta-adrenoreceptors in the heart (speeds up its contractility and increases the pulse) and in the uterus (relaxes the muscles in the uterus).

The mechanism of action of clenbuterol for weight loss

Beta receptors are found not only in the heart, uterus and bronchi, a certain number of them are located in the muscles and fat tissue. After the drug enters these areas, a certain chemical reaction is triggered. Clenbuterol affects these receptors, speeding up their work. In this case, the adenosine monophosphate cyclical substance is released, which is the source of energy. It promotes the activation of enzymes responsible for burning excess fat tissue.

In addition, clenbuterol stimulates the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine hormones, which increase the elimination of adipose tissue from the body. And also blocks the action of the enzyme called lipoprotein lipase, which is responsible for the deposition of fat, in connection with which fat does not accumulate in the body.

To an insignificant extent under the influence of the medicine there is an increase in the production of thyroid hormones (thyroxine, triiodothyronine), which increase metabolism, contributing to weight loss.

The total metabolism is accelerated by the drug by 25-30%.
