How is your thyroid already? But from what I have read 2 iu's shouldn't cause problems for the norm.

 

[GoneForever]

I don't think there is one case of reported thyroid failure from longterm GH even at very high doses.

It must to some degree or everyone wouldn't be saying to take t3 when you take gh.

I started having a horrible time taking some bf off and feeling very sluggish after a gh cycle in 2005. Finally I got up off my ass and went and had a blood test and the Dr informen me that my T3 was 67 and put me on cytomel at 50mg per day and he told me I will be on for the rest of my life.

Too bad I didn't understand the importance of blood tests before starting to see if I was hypo then.......but I definatly am now!

For the last year I have been posting articles pointing to the fact that gh can make you hypo and I was told no it didn't. But now I am very sure it does.

Only 2 ways to know is to monintor your blood work before during & after or track your basal tempature.

Physicians can't prescribe T3 is the US it's not FDA approved only Sythroid/T4...

You are right!

I was confussing t3 with cytomel

Cytomel is chemicaly known as liothyronine sodium and is a synthetic and a
pharmaceutical preparation of the natural thyroid hormone triiodothyronine which is called T3 for short.

I did ask a few of my friends if t3 was cytomel and I was told yes it was, every time. So I learned something new & more precise today.........thanks!

Cytomel is prescribed by Doctors

T3 is not prescribed by Doctors

AD, the protocol of 2 iu's a day on a 5 on and 2 off split wouldnt be an issue. As for as taking things to support your metabolism, I think far to many people rely on that before it is actually needed. GH taken in this low of a dose wouldnt require any helps for t3 production...unless someone has a pre-existing condition.

 

[Amazon Doll]

It's not an issue for me since I have a pre-existing condition.

At what dose do you think gh can effect the thyroid?

It just seems smart to get bloodwork 4 weeks in to know for sure whats going on.

t3

I'd say after a month of over 2IU of GH per day everyday you would need to think about T3 or T4. I'm guessing though.
So you got Cytomel(T3) from a physician in the US? Cytomel y3 is not approved by the FDA and this physicians prescribe FDA approved T4 Synthroid-unless something has changed....

Cytomel is T3. What I was saying was I thought the FDA had not approved it and only T4 brand name Sythnroid is prescribed in the US.

"Cytomel is chemicaly known as liothyronine sodium and is a synthetic and a

it seems like from that staement they are 2 different compounds.

I made a bunch of calls to various pharmacies in my area an the answers I got was that:

Cytomel is prescribed.

The t3 is not

That is from the pharmacist that carry & dispense what the Drs prescribe

I am not sure on this one. I know Gavin Kane, I believe mentioned something like that of 5 iu's a day would need a T3 stim.

I think I read that also, what do you think about ladies testing anyway after 4 weeks?

I know 2 ladies that mentioned gaining weight while on gh and having trouble taking it off. These were not women that didn't know how to diet...one for sure had it down to a science.

GH

They probably gained muscle, conetive tissue or ligaments, in which case you not going to be able to lose it.
I don't see how they could have gained body fat..
