Salbutamol for fat loss?

[Brockinator]

Was hearing a lot about salbutamol pills from a friend, for fat loss.

The protocol recommended was 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, start off with 8mg daily and 200mg caffeine daily, then up to 12mg and 400mg caffeine after a few days, then up to 16mg and 400mg caffeine and spend the rest of the 2 weeks in it, after coming off for two weeks and repeating until desired bodyweight. Doses split into two times a day morning and noon.

Is this protocol with salbutamol good, for those who have used it for cutting?

Is there anything this protocol is missing or could be improved upon?

What have been peoples experiences with salbutamol for fat loss as well?

Clenbuterol is far more effective, just use clen.

I was told clen has far more health risks and side effects and can’t be run safely for as long

Yeah I don’t think that’s true at all. Take your taurine, don’t go above 120mcg, stay hydrated and you’ll be fine. It’s very widely used in bodybuilding, people will take it for 16 weeks at a time. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as some will try to tell you.

salbutamol is likely less cardio toxic than clenbuterol, but in my experience it doesnt really give the same fatloss benefits as clen.
Ive experimented with salbutamol a quite a bit and it is so mild whatever effect it has its hard to say it did anything at all.

What i did find it helped with was the first time i got covid it made breathing much easier.

I only burn up to 150-200 calories in combination with caffeine.

The effect of caffeine and albuterol on body composition and metabolic rate - PubMed

In rats, albuterol with caffeine produced significantly greater increases in lean body mass and reductions in fat mass without changes in food intake after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Since caffeine and albuterol are approved for the treatment of asthma in children and adolescents at the doses...

2-6mg every 4-6 hours with 100-200mg caffeine, maybe 2mg nicotine too, for example. The more exercise/calorie expenditure the more weight and fat loss.

My experience is the same as bigtomj, not as powerful as clen for fat loss, or for the stimulant/energy effect.
