Absolutely shameless. Seriously. What evidence can you present that indicates Thyrogen X is more efficacious at muscle sparring than the Gaspari product? :rofl:
Hi Uhockey
All I saw was........"Im sending FnF a Sustain bar cause she is such a good logger"
Ok, here is the research material I have to show you, Gaspari does not claim that their product is anti- catabolic, But ALRI does make that claim, hence I used words from both websites to answer that. I know Author L. Rea does not make false claims and can back up anything he says. So without him bothering right now Ill give you the research articles that he has provided for Thyrogen X. If you dont find what you are looking for, let me know and I will ask him.
Being Hypothyroid myself, I know the importance of not experimenting with the actual prescription meds like many others do. I think its safe to say that when a user abuses any thyroid product that does effect levels of t4 & t3 and does not eat properly, any one can put themself in a catabolic state.
Ok, while you are reading these, send me a sustain bar
