goodness gracious! THANKS AGAIN. Well, i have ordered and im going to do the following. I decided to just wait on the venom hyperdrive (unless u think i should definitely do it post T3)....
IGF-2
DRIVE
NAPALM
CLA
T3 (@ 30-40mcg's for 4weeks) (afterwards, im going to do what u suggest and run NOW'S thyroid support)
***********************************************
At 30-40mcg's , do you believe this low dosage will have a bigtime negative effect on my thyroid. Im gonna do some more reading, but i just dont think it will at that low of a dose. But i still will want to get some NOW'S thyroid support, and maybe even try VENOM HYPERDRIVE)
any other suggestions to my stack would be greatly appreciated. Would love some input.
Thanks again.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
honestly, you should be good without it. I had blood tests to back me at the time - I did not have any complications getting back to normal. Like I said, I used the NOW supp and AN's lipo pm. I tested high for calcium while on it, which is a sign of hyperthyroidism (duh). If you are really concerned, you could supplement with calcium and magnesium to blunt irregular heart beats and osteoperosis, but I read a study from an endocrinology text that stated that a regulatory hormone kicks in, so the net effect is of little concern. aka, I was not worried, I never had bone problems, never broke one in my life, and no osteo problems in family.
IMHO, I think what you have laid out look very nice. Skip the venom for now. and make sure your dose timing for the T3 is solid. Most suggest first thing in the morning, avoiding food for about hr, and avoiding calcium or iron for about 2. Splitting dose will help create stable T3 levels as well.
Studies suggest that dosing at night can increase effectiveness, however, they were done with synthroid only (t4 must first metabolize into t3, so may not show same benefit with pure cytomel). If going test higher doses, splitting is a good idea, as the liquid T3 gets assimilated into the body fairly quickly. I experimented with morning and bedtime doses - may be worth it to test 30mcg in morning, 10mcg before bed?
at the low doses, dont expect huge weight losses, as the body produces about 25mcg naturally, so these doses only slightly surpass the norm. I just felt very comfortable at these dose levels, as 50 was borderline for me, and felt real ****ty when I tried to step it up. Not worth it. If you feel sluggish, or big losses in strength, cut back dosage to point where you are comfortable with the tradeoff.
glad to help in any way I can. I am no expert, but glad to share my personal experiences and research results.:thumbsup:
