Ephedrine is a highly effective agent for helping users to lose body fat. However, its original purpose wasn’t designed for athletes at all. It was actually created as a bronchial expectorant, designed to give help to people that had a hard time breathing due to asthma. As its ability to open up airways became more known, doctors began prescribing it to patients suffering from hay fever or severe sinus infections. It seems that if the drug can help people with chest and lung clogging due to asthma, it can help breathing performance in other groups facing medical issues.

Sports nutritionists keep very close eyes on new medicines for their ability to give their trained athletes an edge. As word emerged that ephedrine increases lung capacity, many athletes begin taking it as a means of possessing more lung capacity for running and other endurance events. Soon they were taking it to train all year, well cognizant of the benefits of larger lung capacities all year long. It was at this time that athletes discovered its fat-loss capabilities, and its use increased among bodybuilders as well.

Eventually, gaming bodies like the Olympia Committee decided that ephedrine was giving athletes an unfair advantage, and was dangerous (due to the fact that athletes were taking doses much higher than the recommended usage), so it was banned from Olympic competition. Since then, athletes have been searching for the next ephedrine, a compound to increase lung capacity. And now, they may have found it.

Salbutamol is a compound being prescribed by European doctors for the treatment of patients suffering from reduced lung capacity. Sports researchers in that area of the world quickly connected the dots and realized this compound does not sit on the Olympia banned substances list, yet does provide some of the desired lung-opening effects of ephedrine. As a result, athletes have been lining up to use with this compound until Olympic and other federation committees ban it.

Many drugs are out for a long time until somebody notices the positive effects on another group, different from its intended recipients. Then, it is used on a greater scale, and soon negative side effects are discovered. Salbutamol may all into this category eventually. But for now, it’s a great legal expectorant, which can improve your lung capacity. If you have it available in your area, consider giving it a shot. It might not be such a well-kept secret for long!
