Is clen technically a steroid?

[I.Muscle]

Or is it classified as a fat burner? Since you don't need cycle support or a PCT. Someone said if you take clen your no longer considered "natty"

If ya look at product descriptions:

Clenbuterol is a very interesting and remarkable compound. It is not a steroid hormone but a beta-2-symphatomimetic. Clenbuterol, above all, has a strong anti-catabolic effect, which means it decreases the rate at which protein is reduced in the muscle cell, consequently causing an enlargement of muscle cells.
For this reason, numerous athletes use Clenbuterol after steroid treatment to balance the resulting catabolic phase and thus obtain maximum strength and muscle mass.

A further aspect of Clenbuterol is its distinct fat-burning effect. Clenbuterol burns fat without dieting because it increases the body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat for this process. Due to the higher body temperature Clenbuterol magnifies the effect of anabolic/androgenic steroids taken simultaneously, since the protein processing is increased.

The profile of it on the site:

Clenbuterol (Clen) is a selective beta-2 agonist/antagonist and a bronchodilator. What this means, is that it stimulates your beta-2 receptors. Of great importance, is that Clenbuterol is a selective beta-2 agonist (because it works selectively on the beta-2-andrenergic-receptors), right? The thing is, Clenbuterol is selective...like hitting a tack (the tack being your beta-2 receptors) with a small hammer (the hammer being the Clen)...thus, it hits the beta-2 receptors selectively. Sorry if that seems repetitious, but it´s very important to understand that fact before we move on. Since clenbuterol has very little beta-1 stimulating ability, it has the ability to reduce certain kinds of airway obstruction without much in the way of cardiovascular effect (more about that later), and this is why it is used as an asthma medication.

So what exactly dose a stimulant like Clen (or Ephedrine) do when it stimulates those Beta Receptors? Well, it serves to increase your body temperature a bit by increasing heat production in the Mitochondria, increase your basal metabolic rate, and decrease your appetite (1). This partly explains how Beta-2 agonists directly stimulate fat cells and increase lypolysis (fat-loss)(1)(13). And also, because it is a Beta-2 agent, clen can decrease insulin sensitivity (2), unfortunately.

you tell me...

it's a bronchodilator. cousin of albuterol- like c7 said it's a symphatomimetic, meaning it mimics the sympathetic nervous system. the SNS is responible for bronchodilation, increased heart rate etc- fight or flight response. think adrenaline

[MuscleScience]

Nope its not a steroid, just a beta receptor stimulant

[RogerB17]

beta receptor stimulant = beta adrenergic agonist

[Immortal Soldier]

No...

[lifterjaydawg]

no, clen is definitely not a steroid, just great for weight loss.

on the topic of beta receptors, has anyone taken liquid keto to cleanse them? and for how long at what dose?

normally i go 1-2mg/day before bed
