Beta Receptors

[EnergyJoule]

My understanding is that beta receptors can become desensitized by certain chemicals. On average, how long does it take for the beta receptors to become latent? And, on the flip, approximately how long does it take for the beta receptors to rebound, and become active again?

Are you asking in the context of things like ephedrine? Clenbuterol?

In terms of clen, it is believed to be ~2 weeks b/f they become desensitized. The 'norm' (from what I've gathered) is ~2on/2off for it (this is w/o benadryl/ketotifen). Ephedrine, I run until I get tired of taking the pills. Then, it's about 1 month off b/f starting back up.

Erik, yes in terms of ephedrine and the like.

B: Referring to ephedrine, you "Run until you get tired of taking the pills?" Does that mean you're feeling less of an effect? Or simply don't feel like popping pill and spending the $?

Honestly, I'm not the best person to listen to when it comes to ephedrine. Erik has gotten on my case more than once about how much and how long I run it. Most times, it's almost year-round.

But, to answer your question, I just don't feel like popping the pills. However, right now, I'm not feeling like putting my info (i.d.) out there, so I haven't bought any in quite some time and am just popping Twinlab's ripped fuel. :oops: :lol3:
