Another T3 Question

[Maki Riddington]

How long can one stay on t3 if they were to only use 12 mcgs?
Also, at what dosage do the catobolic effects become more pronounced?

[Severed Ties]

There is no evidence showing that t-3 supplementation can damage your thyroid in any permanent fashion....so for as long as you want.

I usually run 50mcg's with all 12 weeks of my cycles then drop to 12.5mcg's for another 8 weeks or so.


t-3's catabolic nature is very individual and very dependent on how lean you are. The lower your bodyfat the more catabolic it becomes.

Personally I can't diet with it or I lose muscle rapidly.

Thanks, just what I was hoping for.

how dramatic are the effects of t3 as far as fat loss?

[Severed Ties]

For myself not so much, 50mcgs will just barely make you hyperthyroidic (outside the the high-normal range). The main benefit is your fat loss is very consistant (if your diet is consistanly good) until you get into the 12-13% range. At that point I must discontinue because t-3 will only burn muscle.

Fat loss can be very dramactic if you can handle 100-150mcg/day, however the guys who can handle this usually take a gram of test, a good dose of tren, and usually some drol or EQ to preserve muscle. Which is a great deal more AS than I am willing to use.

Does it matter when the 12mcg is taken in the day? Also, how has it been shown to increase protein synthesis? In other words, by what mechanism/s does it boost protein synthesis? Did that make sense? One last question, why has 12.5 mcg been shown to boost protein synthesis but not a higher dosage?
