Clenbuterol is quite anti-catabolic and/or anabolic in almost every (living organisms) study ever done on it‚ although this hasn’t been studied or confirmed in human studies. Also‚ a trend we see with Clenbuterol administration in animals is that the doses used are very high- more than anyone actually taking. If Clenbuterol is anabolic or anti-catabolic in humans‚ only mild anabolic or anti-catabolic effects can realistically be expected.One of the primary drawbacks of Clenbuterol is that after a couple
