It really depends on your cycle, but I'd say not more than 75mic's at your peak.
It binds with proteins in the gut that render it inactive. Plus, it's such a small dose, it can actually get "lost" in certain types of vegetable matter/fiberous foods. 1hr before or 4hrs after food is standard for max oral absorbtion. Also, take it at the same time every day no matter when you decide that should be.
An hour to be sure. More realistically 45mins, or if you have a liquid version maybe just 30 with a glass of water to chase it. If you can fit it into 2 doses with an empty stomach, then go for it, but it is not required.
On a oral syringe how can i take it instead of the pump it saids here
25mic's = 20units using an oral syringe. Or your syringe may say .2ml, it's the same thing.
Not once you're adjusted to it. Just take a few weeks to feel good with it and ramp up very slowly. It will increase pulse rate but that's something you can accommodate if you take your time. Remember to drop the dose back down and basically start over when you switch to the empty stomach protocol. It'll be like night and day. I take mine in the AM all in one dose and it's perfectly effective. T3 has a 2.5 day half-life! That means you only need to take it once a day. Theoretically, you could dose EOD and be just fine, so it's pointless to dose more than once a day. What happens is that you end up wasting most of the second dose because you've already eatten that day. Just make sure your stomach is empty and do it all in the morning. Give it a try and you'll see. I've been taking thyroid hormones for the last 13 years!
Yes Sir, same thing with administration. Only the doses change.
Yeah, Poobah is correct. It's highly variable from person to person, but over time you adjust to the sides. I never had an issue really with that one. My libido goes sky high the first month though! Also, I sometimes get this weird roaring sensation in my head if I ramp the dose too fast. Just take it slow.
I often get chest pains as the biggest issue if I ramp too fast. I don’t usually go catabolic at 50, but will at 75 I’m not doing something to support anabolism and eating frequently enough. Everyone is different and the advice I give is designed only as a guide. I don’t what to see someone get hurt, and T3 and clen are two of the ones that you could really mess up with if you don’t play it safe. I just recommend starting slow and get to know the lower doses first before you crank it up. I don’t monitor my temp anymore except when I’m “experimenting� with something else simultaneously. I generally use waking pulse rate to gauge my doses.
Not according to the Smith Kline Beecham monograph for Cytomel in the current PDR. The biological t1/2 is 2.5 days.
I've yet to experience that, so thanks for the head's up. Thanks for your reply. It's nice to see someone else that shares the same interest in T3 that I do.
I hear you on that! I stopped cycling it years ago and just started using it daily. I love the stuff.
You know, we always hear about how catabolic T3 is... but at low doses (I'm at 35mcg right now), as long as you keep your temp. reasonable, and consume enough protein (At the bare minimum 1.5g/lb of BW)... most of the "LBM Losses" people notice are from the depleted glycogen effects.... just an observation from personal use...
I agree totally! When I started chronic thyroid use, I switched from T3 to T4. I take 200-275mcg (depending on the time of year) and it not only keeps my total cholesterol nice and low, but I heal from injuries twice as fast. Not only that, I detox very quickly and have a lower tendency toward depression. As long as you do as you said and get enough protein, your turn-over stays positive. Years of anabolic use can blunt thyroid output. I tell people all the time that it's a good addition if they do it right. I suspect many are borderline hypo and just don't know it.
I've talked to quite a few advanced competitors who keep T3 in their stack at almost all times at low doses. They all swear by it....
I'm interested in this approach myself, as I've heard that low dose T3 use (12.5mcg - 25mcg ED) will not shut down your thyroid, and also ups protein synthesis and assists with slight fat burning without depleting glycogen stores and leaving your muscles flat. Has anyone else heard of this or had personal experience?
It's all about the same. Only the dose changes with all these different forms. The greatest advantage in T4 is in suppression and overdose. T4 has a buffered effect, so it's much more forgiving in an overdose situation. T4 is also the least suppressive of them all so it's better for long term use.
I totally get what you are saying. My info came from the body's natural thyroid hormone T3, not the med cytomel which is the synthetic form as you know. I suffered from a very severe hyperthyroid last year which ripped off over 50lbs from me. My resting heart rate was in the 150s and I was put on beta blockers. Thankfully my levels are in the mid normal range now. Maybe that was what my endo was refering to.
OK, that makes sense. If your metabolism was that high, your chemical half-lives were much shorter too. I detox rapidly also, but RPR of 150?! That's very high. I'm glad your better now.
