Have you heard about the new Hollywood diet and bodybuilder's little helper? Clenbuterol, a medication drug in the category of anabolic steroids, is the latest dieting trend in Hollywood. It is amazing how far some of us (especially celebrities and movie stars) will go in order to lose weight and appear thinner. The individuals who are using this hazardous diet pharmaceutical drug which his only approved in the USA for animal use (horses with respiratory issues) risk serious health injury as the numerous scientific sources suggest the harmful side effects of the drug on humans. Yet, Clenbuterol has been used by athletes, sportsman, professional bodybuilders (and other fitness amateurs bodybuilding individuals), fitness enthusiasts,

The FDA is concerned (http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OA/background/clenbute.htm) that the illicit use of the medication might lead to significant health side effects or serous illness or even death in individuals that are consuming the drug. The FDA claims that it is possible that even a small Clenbuterol dose might cause a strong effect on the cardio vascular system and that in fact it might be more risk for people who inhale it if compared with the case when the drug is ingested in food.

In terms of how the drug physiologically acts, it’s noted that the action Clenbuterol dose (Clenbuterol Hydrochloride - Spiropent) is best compared to the illegal drug called ephedrine as well as currently legal replacement mahuang. All these drugs function mainly by increasing the production and secretion of catabolic hormones /widely known as cathecholamines - similar to dopamine, epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and norepinephrine (aka nor-adrenaline/ which are produced and leaked from the adrenal region. Finally, in the nutshell, the hormones listed above, have a wide spectrum of functions. Primarily, they seem to change the contractile characteristics of smooth muscle tissue, but this is done very specifically. In summary, some will apparently be stimulated, while the others will be inhibited. Out of those inhibited, the smooth muscle in the bronchial tree region, which explains its soothing effect in patients with breathing and lung problems. It’s important to note that the drug increases thermogenesis. This usually includes a steep increase in blood pressure, which is in fact the stimulatory effect of the heart muscle and a resulting rise in body temperature. It’s also important to note, that Clenbuterol dosage (taken in pills of i.e. Clenbuterol mcg - 10 - 20 mcg tablets), has a strong anticatabolic effect. This means that it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced and decreased in the cells that build muscles. This in the end is causing an enlargement of muscle cells which is a frequent reason why people are using the drug.

 
 
The social pressure to be thin is rising and it appears that almost everyone in Hollywood is trying to bee thin. A number of tabloid magazines keep a weekly tally of weight loss and gain and the pressure that mounts on celebrities rises.

Enter Clenbuterol! There are stories coming out of Hollywood that some celebrities are using this medication to become thin very quickly.

The bottom line is that the social pressure is claiming its victims again and that the public needs to know more about this.
