I've been using it for a little over 3 weeks now and i'm down 7lbs, i started at 25mcg and ramped up 25mcg every 4 days, i went up to 75mcg but i found i was too lethargic and my workouts felt MUCH harder. So now i'm at 50mcg/day and i may even go down to 25mcg. I would definitely use this stuff again and use it over Clenbuterol anyday. I also think the catabolic side of it is over done as well, as long as your diet is in check you should be fine. I'm going to use it from now on when bulking and cutting. I'll probably be using either 100mcg of T4 or 25mcg of T3 yearround as i have low thyroid levels anyway, and then just bump it up to 200mcg for the T4 or 50mcg for the T3 when on cycle. I've got some T4 coming to me so i'll be able to compare them. Dr D swears by T4, apparently it's less catabolic than T3 with less sides.

I just stated t3 and alb. So far the T3 doesnt feel like its doing anything. Almost done with my first week. ALB seems to be better. I have started T3 at 25 mcgs and upped it to 35. I feel like I should be at a higher dose, but Im trying to be carefull.

so your taking both at the same time on a empty stomach and then giving them both some time to absorb before eating anything?

Yes. The difference I can tell from the alb. because its taken every 4 hours. I may have gotten some bad T3. I dont know. Or it doesnt effect me as much.

The T3 i got hit me super fast, and i'm not planning a pct as i need to be on some sort of thyroid med so i'll just lower the dose, i actually switched over to T4 and i'm doing 200mcg and i feel alot better on this than i did on the T3, T3 made me feel too lethargic.

Coming from a personal stand point I say no.. I have used it for competition but would not use it just to diet.

My wife battled thyroid cancer and beat it and now has to take T3 to live.

Yes i think you can take it for recreational use moderatly, but do not suggest it

Chaps, you said you need to be on thyroid meds?
Are you under doctors care, and did you switch straight across from t3 to T4 200 mcg?
I ask because I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and am about to start on Armour. My doctor wants me to start very low 1/4 grain and work up slowly to prevent adrenal issues.
Although, before I saw this doc. I ordered T3 and was thinking of doing a low dose cycle of this and then switch to Armour. Anyone have issues of adrenal problem with T3?

Are you guys on Steroids?

Isn't it worse to take T3 alone? Also I've heard it can metabolize muscles too. Not good (why most use while on gear)/

I'm trying to lose around 3-5% body fat.
Would you advise women to try clen to lose fat? What dosage would you recommend and also the duration

Not quite sure what effects you're looking for. You should measure body temp before/after dose to see if it's working.

I think it depends on your dose of T3 as well. The side effects aren't as noticeable as clen or even albuterol. I've used Alb on it's own and also now with T3, and I definately feel an increase in sides (heart rate, body temp, etc) while using the 2 together. I've also tried going a day with no Alb and just taking my regular dose of t3, and didn't notice much in the sense of sides (but then again I am ramping up right now and am only taking 20mcg/ed)..nothing more than a slight increase in body temp, but I haven't measured it yet, just noticed a bit of 'warmer' feeling and if I take any sort of stim (coffee, etc) then I feel more stimmed than usual. But that's all, nothing even close to clen shakes, or high-dose Alb shakes.

Edit: I take that back. once I got over 60mcg/d it hit me pretty good. Body is noticeably warmer and I'm getting palpitations. Must mean it's working. Under 60mcg (around 25-35mcg) and I didn't notice too much.

well 25mcg of T3 is a normal replacement dose. once you go to supra physiological levels of T3 is when you will "notice" something. when i first took higher doses of it i had a tightness in my chest that took a few days to go away, but would return when i increased the dose.
