Just as the question states I have a friend that takes around 250mcg of T4 (synthroid) due to not having a thyroid and wants to take T3 @ 50mcg a day to aid in wieght loss. Has anyone else had experence with this? Thanks guy's!

some people (including a good friend of mine) get a T4/T3 mix in one pill. My friend had thyroid cancer and they removed his thyroid. I am not sure what his doses are but I asked him what they gave him and that was what he said. He is a young guy and in good shape and the doctor said he would start him off low and work him up till they found a dose that was good for him to stay active and lean.

i just started taking t3-10mcgs/t4-50mcgs and love it the combo works way better for me. im leaning out and putting a little muscle on its working wounders at that dose for me. its been over a year sence i touched any thyroid. i like the smaller doses over a longer peroid of a time rather then higher doses wich i think you risk the chance of being catibolic. if you diet right i dont think you need to go high.

im taking mexican ones 100t4/20t3 at a half.

Since he is not having a thyroid, start with 100mcg T4 and 25mcg T3. I dont think he will need anymore then 200mcg T4 and 50mcg T3.

There is many people who have Thyroid issues who use a combo and many of them report that it has helped them tremendously compared to use using T4.

Many doctors shoot for a healthy range of 16:1 T4:T3, which reflects roughly how much your the body makes on average naturally when healthy (100mcg T4 and 6mcg T3).

If your buddy has T3 in usual pill form, just take a quarter of a regular pill and he should have enough.
