Half life of T3

[BigBoyJ]

I recently got a bunch of LiquidT3 and I was wondering if anyone knows the half life of this stuff. I know that clen has a long half life, so there is no benefit to taking it more than once a day. What about t3 though? I will gradually be working up to 100 mcg a day. Should it be taken in several doses throughout the day, or will one daily dose suffice? Many thank's, my friends.

Ok, I just found some info that said the half life of T3 is ten hours. Does that sound right? If so, it seems that taking it twice a day would be optimal. Maybe once in the morning and once in the evening, pre-workout? Any input?

umm.... nope... we cant get an answer on the UG either.. hahaha...

every search i do says radically different crap...

i'm stumped...

Well Mr Pickels, when all else fails go to the source. Here's what I found for actual pharmacological info on liothyronine sodium.

With a half life of 2 1/2 days, I suppose 1 daily dose should do the trick. Anyone else have an opinion here, or have I stumped the famous pro muscle crew?

If you have the 25mcg tabs of t3 then it is best to split it up throughout the day if you are going to be taking more than 25mcgs/day. If not, then once a day would be fine.
Remember, with something like t3, it is best to keep the blood levels as even as possible so your body can adjust nicely and it can become somewhat predictable.
Increase your doses gradually aslo.

Here's another link with some good info, again it looks as though once a day is plenty. Hmmmmm

**broken link removed**

Here's the dosage for liquid-clen and liquid-T3 (from liquidresearch) I'll be using. I'll be using an insulin pin instead of the dropper so I can get a more accurate dose. Of course I won't be injecting the stuff, just shooting it in my mouth.

Clen-
Day1: 25mcg (20 iu)
Day2: 50mcg (40 iu)
Day3: 50mcg (40 iu)
Day4: 75mcg (60 iu)
Day5: 75mcg (60 iu)
Day6-Day14: 100mcg (80 iu)
Day15: off
Day16: off
Day 17: Stacker 2 for 2 weeks, then back to clen

T3
4 days- 25 mcg (20 iu)
4 days- 50 mcg (40 iu)
4 days- 75mcg (60 iu)
4 days- 100 mcg (80 iu)
4 days- 75 mcg (60 iu)
4 days- 50 mcg (40 iu)
4 days- 25 mcg (20 iu)

So the half life is 2 1/2 days - I do remember it being very long.

Yep

That agrees w/ my PDR.
