you're taking taurine w/ the clen right?

 

[pong21]

I've heard for and against taking it with clen, most people I talked to never took it with it so I am not.

If you have some info on why I should take it with it, please I'm all ears.

this is what I read a while back on it.. I just took it as truth.. I don't think adding taurine would hurt anything, but you could be right.. maybe it's not needed. Hopefully someone who actually knows for sure could let us know.

"Taurine MUST be used with Clen at 3-5g daily. Clenbuterol depletes taurine
levels in the liver which stops the conversion of T4 to T3 in the liver.
Taurine allows the user to avoid the dreaded rebound effect and painful muscle
cramps. "

that quote was in the CLEN FAQ thread by bigandy I think....I would believe it coming from him...


here is a link to the whole thread, it's a good read:

I'm going to assume that since you are 17% bodyfat that you are not a natrually lean person. I think you need to revamp your diet compeletely and either go with a more balanced diet for cutting, or do a keto diet. Your diet as it stands is WAY to high in protien for the total calories you are taking in, and your fat intake is too low. Since you are not using steroids while cutting, expect reducing your fat intake that low to reduce your serum testosterone levels. I don't like the fact that you are only taking in 5 real meals a day (with two shakes), and are mixing your shakes with bananas (not only high GI, but also containing fructose). Your plan may lead to a higher loss in lbm than you expect.
