in a nutshell, the more clen you use the faster you run out of beta receptors, less beta receptors means less clen can antagonize them resulting in less effectiveness
or another way to think about it is:
if you have two ziplock bags full of water and you poke 1 needle hole in one and 100 holes in the other, which one will lose water faster? the one with 100 holes right
if you are taking clen(at the dosages we use) then you have more clen molecules then receptors that they can attach to
the more clen receptors you have the more clen can attach and the faster your metabolism goes
but if you start to lose those receptors(downregulation) now you have a huge abundance of clen with very little receptors to use it and your metabolism slows
how do you fix this? get more receptors(upregulation), that way more clen can attach and your metabolism can increase again
does that help?
