Cytomel T3 info?

[eckstg]

I read a few profiles on this and basically all they said was it speeds up your metabolism by shutting off your thyroid and that its pretty much safe to cycle 9 months solid and off the other 3 months of the year and the safe to restart again.Does this sound correct?

Is it much safer than clenbuterol?
Is it as powerfull or more powerfull than ECA stack & clenbuterol?
Should Eca stack or clenbuterol be cycled along with it?
Is cytomel easily obtained?Is is considerably cheap or expensive?

T3 has been over feared by myths for a very long time. There has been no studies that I have seen that shows any permanent shutdown from exogenous t3 use. In fact , quite the contrary. I have seen several studies that show full thyroid recovery after prolong use. I can attest to this myself after using t3 for extended periods several times and followed up with blood work. However, there certainly is a temporary shut down or crash after discontinuing use. This is why it is very important to taper off. If done correctly, there is very little crash.

Now that being said, it is not a miracle drug, but rather an aid. Diet and training is crucial as always. Also, there can be muscle loss associated with it's use, so it is best run with AAS. Especially in higher doses. T3 is also quite easily obtained and rather cheap. I highly recommend using real t3 tabs over the research solutions. They are way to inconsistent, period.

what are your oppinions on T4 rather than T3 , i've heard the its a little safer as your body has to convert it 4o T3

Your last two questions can be found by going thru sponsor research.
Peace.

A cycle of Cytomel should not last longer than 6 weeks or you risk permanent thyroid deficiency, and you'd have to take a Synthroid (T4) pill or two everyday for the rest of your life (like me, but not from T3 abuse).

So, for the above reason it is not safer than clen, but it combines well with it.

Clen feels like caffeine so you might want to see how you respond to it before adding more jitters with an ECA stack.

And taper your T3 dosage on your way up and on your way down.

Your right T4 is safer (weaker) than T3 as you said, because it has to be converted to T3. It is a much more gradual effect, and it's for this reason it is the version most often prescribed by doctors.

It can take up to 4 weeks to feel the effect of a change in dosage, so it can be time consuming to find your comfortable dosage for bodybuilding purposes.

can you post any studies to prove this? always thought it as
"bromyth"
tapering is def. the way to go if used....again please post some studies of this permanent shutdown.....

Sorry, I can't post any studies. I can only go by prescription drug references and nursing handbooks etc.

But the risk for shutdown makes sense when you consider you are adding in a hormone from an exogeneous source when (presumably) your body already makes a suffient amount.

It's similar to the effect of injected testosterone signaling the body to suppress its own testosterone function.

funk the studdies

I have used both t3 cytomel at 60 micrograms for 7 months then came off.I was okay because i tappered down.Then i have done armour thyroid 60mg off and on by doctor for months,no problems their.Their is no negative feedloop their.This is my excperience alone.

Phidias is the first person ive ever heard of permanently shutting down their thyroid from t3 an he admitted he was on low to high doses for over 3years. Most people can easily stay on t3 for 6-9months straight and properly recover as long as they ramp up and more importantly ramp down the dose and dont go overboard with it. There isnt even any proof that your natural thyroid isnt functioning when on t3 either.

Thxs for the help everyone!

Sorry bro, but you are just stating bull shit. No proof, studies, any data what so ever. It is just a myth. Period. And you can not just say , well if test doies it, thyroid hormones must too. Sorry, the body just does not work that way.

I wasn't making such a simplistic statement that "if test doies it, thyroid hormones must too", I was pointing out the similarities of the natural hormone suppression.

And by saying I'm am just stating a myth, jumping on me for not having studies at my fingertips, and then not posting studies proving your side of it, is hypocritical.

This is why I stay away from "internet bodybuilding". People often parrot statements that they feel won't get them flamed.

I get my info from people who put their reputations on the line by writing books or talking to me face to face.

To each his own bro. Stay safe. Done with this.

Ive know a few people who have gotten blood work done shortly after going off and then 2-3 weeks later. Thyroid fuction does get slightly suppressed but recovers fully in less than 3 weeks, but that is when doing the 28-30 day cycles of T3 ramping up and then tappering down. If you eat clean then you dont have to worry about a rebound effect( gaining fat back ). BUT, T3 speeds up the metabolism of protiens and fats, so you better be eating a high protien diet if you wanna negate muscle lose.

production of T3 and T4 is subject to a negative feedback loop, if you use either, you will shut down natural production, its basic physiology - the body does work that way, permanently? maybe only with long term over use?

the hypothalamus will secrete thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), TRH signals for the anterior pituitary to produce thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), TSH signals the thyroid to produce T3/T4, the body produces more T4 but T3 is the more potent form, increases in T3 and T4 in the body negatively signal back to the hypothalamus, reducing TRH and TSH production in the hyopthalamus and pituitary

if youre not careful, it wouldnt be unreasonable to say that this couldnt become permanently inhibited...
