Hazards of Clenbuterol

“Lean meat enhancers” refer to a class of compounds that promote lean muscle growth and inhibit fat accumulation. They were previously used as feed additives to increase the lean meat ratio in livestock. However, lean meat enhancers pose serious health risks to humans; long-term consumption of meat products contaminated with these substances may lead to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, muscle tremors, anxiety, and psychiatric disorders. In particular, clenbuterol and similar lean meat enhancers can persist in animal tissues and enter the human body via the food chain. Due to their significant health hazards, many countries have banned the use of lean meat enhancers in animal husbandry. Consumers should purchase meat products from reputable suppliers and pay close attention to the safety and traceability of their food sources.
