"Broncholitin" in bodybuilding. How correctly to use as a fat burner?

A great popularity among athletes who want to quickly get rid of subcutaneous fat, uses "Broncholitin." In bodybuilding, this medicine has become legendary. What did the athletes like the usual cough syrup that is released in any pharmacy without a prescription? This is to understand this article, as well as to understand whether the drug has fat-burning properties or is it another placebo.

From the pure source

It's no secret that the most powerful fat burners in the post-Soviet space were products containing ECA - ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin. However, the Russian government in 2013 equated all sports nutrition with the content of ephedrine to narcotic substances, and the product disappeared from the shelves of stores. Naturally, the athletes engaged in the search for drugs that are based on ephedrine and its derivatives. The output was found - the desired substance was found in the cough syrup called "Broncholitin". In bodybuilding, among athletes, instantly there were many recipes that can help burn fat layer in a very short time.

A serious approach

Judging by the numerous reviews of athletes in the media, the questions about how effective Broncholitin is in bodybuilding, how to take and what results can be achieved are still relevant today. Unquestionable answers that do not have clinical evidence in the world are being questioned by many users. Advisers under the stamp "anonymously" recommend immediately before exercise 60 ml of "Broncholitin", 200 mg of caffeine benzoate and 300 mg of aspirin. All these drugs are in the pharmacy and sold without a prescription. Recommendations for such recipes are accompanied only by positive reviews of those who tried the mixture on themselves and felt a surge of energy during the training, forcing their body to work at the limit of opportunities.

And if you think with your head?

Returning to the recipe of the ECA's own recipe, which is recommended in the media, a sane person should have a lot of questions, which can always be found in any medical directory. And it's not difficult to guess by owning the school knowledge of chemistry, biology and physiology.

1. Caffeine. Increases physical performance. Stimulates mental and mental activity, and also eliminates drowsiness and fatigue.
2. Aspirin. Anesthetic and antipyretic agents, which can prevent the feeling of exhaustion of the body.
3. "Broncholitin". Ephedrine hydrochloride, glaucine and basil oil reduce discomfort, having a beneficial effect on the bronchi with a copious cough.

It is completely incomprehensible why in the mixture of ECA "Broncholitin". In bodybuilding, caffeine is more interesting for energy. In theory, ephedrine is able to enhance the action of other components, and also causes a psycho-stimulating effect on the central nervous system.

Caloric products for weight loss - novelty or placebo?

Describing how effective Broncholitin is in bodybuilding, reviews do not contain any information about the calorie content of the product. But the instruction says that one 125 ml bottle contains 45 grams of sugar. This is 180 calories! Accordingly, when half the vial is taken, 90 kcal of fast carbohydrates enter the body , which are converted into glycogen and used by the body to produce energy. Caffeine prolongs training to the depletion of glycogen stores, triggering the process of lipolysis, and aspirin relieves fatigue. Ephedrine enhances the effects of caffeine and aspirin. How difficult everything is! Maybe it makes sense to remove from the chain "Broncholitin"? In bodybuilding, as is known, with a decrease in calorie intake before exercise, glycogen stores will disappear even during the warm-up, and lipolysis will begin much earlier.

Create a wheel with your own hands not everyone can.

Most manufacturers of sports nutrition do not advertise the full list of components of their branded mixtures, which, when starting the process of lipolysis, contribute to the loss of fat mass in the athlete. Limited to the publicity of known components and their effect, the manufacturer hides the contents of the product from customers. Normal protection against forgery, which is not restricted by law. Trying to recreate the brand mix at home, most athletes are limited to three known components, believing that "Broncholitin" in bodybuilding as a fat burner is important in this process. However, a quite natural question arises: "Why did not any scientific research institute in the world provide the results of testing for Broncholitin as a fat burner?".

Summarizing the results

Any athlete who wants to use "Broncholitin" in bodybuilding to lose excess weight, can become a victim of incompetence of many athletes in the field of medicine who recommend using the drug for weight loss. After all, the government of the Russian Federation uses information received from the Ministry of Health for all drugs and their constituents. And if ephedrine in its pure form was referred to psychotropic substances, and its derivatives (ephedrine hydrochloride) are ignored, then they do not affect the central nervous system. The next placebo for people looking for easy ways to solve their problems? And if the drug really works, then, and side effects from its use, too, is - diseases of the cardiovascular system, glaucoma, prostate hypertrophy. There is always something to think about. The main thing is to do it with your own head, because as a result, your own organism is exposed to the risk, and not those people who recommend unverified methods.
