Cimaterol is a fat-burning drug used by bodybuilders to get lean and by other athletes to make weight. Let’s learn more about this stimulant by addressing some of the most commonly asked questions regarding its use.
Q: First off, I’ve never even heard of Cimaterol. What in the world is it?
A: Fair enough. Cimaterol doesn’t receive the hype and common discussion seen with fat burners such as ECA or clenbuterol. It’s a beta-adrenergic agonist like clenbuterol, but it burns fat more efficiently. Most of the same rules used with Clen apply to Cimaterol.
Q: So it burns fat, then?
A: It burns fat, but it also does much more. Lypogenesis, or the gaining of fat from the food we eat, is partially halted by Cimaterol. Blood flow is stimulated, and nitrogen is moved to the muscles in greater volume. This increases protein uptake, as more amino acids arrive at your muscle cells ready to help out muscle growth. Lactic acid is also drawn out of muscle cells at the same time. Cimaterol helps the blood flow better, and the fat-burning process work more efficiently. The fact that it works on multiple levels while Clen and ECA are more 1- or 2-faceted drugs makes Cimaterol more desirable to many.
Q: So Cimaterol does much more than clenbuterol and ECA combined?
A: In the opinions of many users, yes. Cimaterol is more potent than clen, and the muscle-building effects listed above make it a great choice for both off-season bodybuilders seeking a few weeks of leaning during their training, or pre-contest athletes seeking to maintain muscle while getting diced. Additionally, Cimaterol received the endorsement of the late Dan Duchaine, steroid guru whose opinion is very well-respected among bodybuilders decades later.
Q: Have there been human studies done upon the effects of Cimaterol?
A: Unfortunately, the interest (and funding) is just not there presently. Laboratory findings on animals show some pretty remarkable effects of using Cimaterol. It’s described as an “animal anti-catabolic” in that it not only stops muscle loss, but also helps reverse the effects of some diseases and other maladies. Cimaterol won’t have these same effects on humans, with our much larger systems, but as a result of the better oxygen flow we will enjoy the anti-catabolic properties. There is a whole lotta catabolism going on during the dieting phase, so Cimaterol may be a good choice during this period.
Q: What type of dosing should I use with Cimaterol?
A: This is a weight specific compound. Recommended dosing is .15 mg per kg of body weight. Cimaterol can be administered via needle, but it is safer and much easier in tablet format.
Q: Bottom line – is Cimaterol a good choice for me?
A: That all depends on your goals and available compounds. If you have access to ECA, clenbuterol and Cimaterol, you may want to experiment with all three and see what works best for you. If you have suffered from great losses of muscle during past cycles, then Cimaterol might be a good choice for helping you to maintain your existing muscle while dieting. If ECA causes you to very quickly enter a catabolic state and lose muscle, as it does for many users, then Cimaterol may be a very good option.
