How does Clenbuterol work?

Clenbuterol is a sympathomimetic amine that can mimic the effects of compounds produced by the body’s nervous system. It binds to and activates the beta2 receptor, which in its turn gives the muscle cells of the airways or bladder the signal to relax. As a result, the airways widen (bronchodilation) and pressure and contraction of the bladder is relieved.^[1]

The effects of clenbuterol treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients are being studied.^[2] In ALS patients, the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles die, causing loss in motor function. Clenbuterol stimulates the production of NGF, a hormone involved in the growth and replication of nerves.^[2,3]
