Clenbuterol is harmful to the human body; frequent consumption of meat containing clenbuterol may lead to poisoning, with symptoms primarily including nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, and muscle aches. Clenbuterol is a chemically synthesized compound—not a flavoring agent—and can also cause damage to the liver and kidneys. Therefore, maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding junk food is essential.
