Does ECA stack increase T3 production?

[Andro308]

Thought I read something stating when coming off a Long T3 cycle to Jump on an ECA stack as the ephedrine will help stimulate your T3 production so your not shut down as long, speeds up recovery.

Any one experienced this or have knowledge on the subject
Thanks

Ephedrine will increase your metabolic rate. T3 and T4 determine your metabolic rate, but I don't think ephedrine increases T3 just because it increases your metabolic rate.

No. Plus I don't feel T3 really shuts you down unless you are running high amounts. I once ran T3 for a year start with no rebound. I don't even know anyone who has ever been shut down bc of running it. That being said, I wouldn't run it at 150 mcgs for a year......probably wouldn't be smart.

I've heard stories, but that it.....just stories.

I highly doubt ephedrine (nor the C nor the A) has a real meaningful effect on your metabolic rate. Energy and appetite suppression, yes. Raising metabolic rate, no.

I have both Hashimoto's and ADHD, am on T4 for one and amphetamine for the other, and my regular thyroid tests have never been different due to the amphetamine so I'd expect the same for ephedrine.

Stims lower T3.

Very true.
The Adrenal response increases thyroid function for a short period initially.
Then the body adjusts the other way.
