Action of broncholitin

The effect of the drug on the athlete's body is due to ephedrine. This active substance has the following spectrum of effects:

  • reduces hunger;
  • increases the efficiency of the whole organism;
  • burns excess body fat;
  • increases metabolic rate;
  • increases the rhythm of the pulse;
  • stimulates the central nervous system.

Ephedrine activates the sympathetic nervous system. A peculiar "stress" leads to the active release of norepinephrine and adrenaline. These catecholamines interact with adrenergic receptors. Thus, such an effect leads to the launch of anabolic processes and the acceleration of cellular metabolism. The substance stimulates the activity of protein kinase A, activating lipolysis and lipase.

How to take bronchodilin in bodybuilding

There are many different variations and patterns of use of Broncholitin. The optimal daily dosage is 50 ml. To enhance the effect of ephedrine, aspirin and caffeine are drunk simultaneously with the drug. If you plan to take the drug according to this scheme, the daily dosage of Broncholitin is from 40 to 50 ml, caffeine - 240, aspirin - 450-500 mg.

It is recommended to take the mixture one hour or 40 minutes before the start of the workout. This time period was not chosen by chance, because it allows you to minimize possible side effects, since the state of the body is stabilizing. In some sources, you can read the recommendations on increasing the daily intake of the drug to 100 ml and the use of the ECA complex twice a day. There is no justified evidence of a greater effect of increasing the dosage, which casts doubt on the feasibility of such a step.

Being an alkaloid, ephedrine is active for eight hours. This time is enough to get the desired sports result. If you start drinking this substance more often, its effect will decrease, and dependence may also develop.
