T3 dosing for Females

[D-termine]

I have both a sister and a girlfriend that will soon be splitting a bottle of T3, and I want to get their doses correct before they start.

One is a good responder to clen and lost 10lbs in two weeks without a change in diet or any exercise.

One dieted pretty good and exercised, however lost nothing on clen.

Both are around 5 foot and weigh around 115-125.

I plan on starting them both off at 25mcg and run that for 3 weeks and making adjustments where neccessary. Also, any concernes for loss of lbm is not a huge issue as neither are atheletes, and I plan on keeping their dosing low.

Any thoughts on this would be great, I have yet to run this myself, however I am a huge clen fan and use it often. Thnx

Personally, I would not recomend T3 to women as they have more thyroid problems in general than men, meaning recovery could be a bitch. Stick with the clen or ephedrine.

I'll agree with MB27 although my fiance has run a clen cyto cycle and kept the t3 dosing the same as a male except cut in half completely.

starting at 12.5mcg daily and ramping up by 12.5mcgs every 4 days until she got to 50...DO NOT EXCEED 50mcg daily IMO...then of course ramping back down...all while running clen/keto


hope this helps...but be careful and make sure they are DEDICATED and ready for this move...most women jump into things like this before even trying to regular exercise regimen and dieting...T3 is no joke and can harm you for life

When they're done, give them thyroid PCT : guggulsterones, 7-oxo-dhea or 7-keto-dhea, forskolin, tyrosine. Anything else? Maybe there should eventually be a sticky next to the trimax thread, called "Thyroid PCT"... ?

i read alot of that trimax thread and it looked as though most peoples thyroids returned to normal without any pct. would a two week cycle be too short?

 

[ss01]

The way I see it is, most women who desire to lose weight have tried dieting time and again, reducing their calories every time, and so MANY women tend to have lowered thyroid activity. So this PCT regimen is not only good for them as PCT per se, but also as a stand-alone thyroid-boosting suplementation.

2 weeks of trimax isn't TOO short. But my feeling is that the women taking the trimax probably have lowered thyroid activity to begin with, so that the smart thing to do is to make sure it's going 100% all the time, otherwise they will take more and more trimax and eventually hurt themselves. I'm not saying the product is dangerous, but that misuse is dangerous and the particular efficacy of this supplement makes it a target for abuse especially among women who, as ever, look for the magic pill. This is it. But as with everything else, there are pitfalls.

If you're going to play with *ANY* hormones, do it smartly, safely, prudently.

In my experience, thyroid PCT is a waste. Guggle only turns over T4 to T3 in the liver, 7-OH and 7 Keto have very little thyroid stimulating effects.

The problem is not with getting the thyroid going again it's getting the pituitary to produce TSH again. When you take T3, this suppresses the pituitary from making TSH because there is enough hormone present. This in turn stops the thyroid from making T4, T3. Once TSH levels come back up, the thyroid will follow. If your thyroid was functioning normally to begin with, taking T3 won't damage it.

I prefer T3 over trimax, because trimax seems to be more suppressive at the pituitary level, meaning it takes longer for TSH to come back up. That's my theory anyway. I know from blood work that everything is normal post T3 in about two weeks, while trimax takes a good month. YMMV

Well that is very good info, mb27. Thanks. Still, a lot of people have slow thyroid, and even though 7-OH and 7 keto have little "thyroid stimulating" effect among people who DON'T, for people who DO have a slow thyroid, it takes it back to 100% and THAT is useful, VERY useful for women IMO, because women who worry about their body weight have an almost universal tendency to undereat, thus slowing their metabolism through thyroid downregulation. OTOH, for the average male bodybuilder it is not the same thing at all. If eating 1000 cals above maintenance divided into 6 meals a day and lifting hard isn't jacking your metabolism, then nothing will.

sso1 I know what you are saying. My opinion is that those supps are very little help regaurdless of where you are coming from. If someone suspects they have a slow thyroid blood work should always be done.
