Whats the consensus on t4 supplementation while on HGH?

[jack98]

Ive seen some well respected writers claim that you need t4 supplementation while on hgh as it effects your own thyroid production.

I have seen others say its completely unnecessary and they never use t4.

So, whats the overall consensus on using t4 with hgh? needed or recommended? or not needed?

GH increases the conversion of t4 to t3. So depending on your GH dosage you may end up w lower than optimal t4 levels over time.

I take 12iu GH ED and I feel better taking 100mcg t4 than when I don’t

Should probably be taking 150

Thyroid panel with Tsh, free t3 and free t4 will tell you what you need

Is that why you were asking for help in the other thread. Because you knew what you needed after the blood test?

Feel better in what way? How much did 100 mcg bring your levels up?

I’m curious about this too as I run hgh non stop 5-6ius. I take t4 at 150mcg as well. I definitely noticed a major increase in the effectiveness overall. Is it safe to run T4 long term?

yes

Ive seen both sides. I had no issues running T4 with GH. Another self proclaimed guru got mad when I said that and recommended T4 for those who use higher doses of GH. He claimed never ever mess with T4 and it can fuck you up for life and my advice was stupid.

I think the guru is retarded and upset about something else, probably his personal life. I'll go with my experience. I did this long ago and haven't used GH or T4 for years now. I turned out to be just fine.

I did try HGH both with and without T4 and I agree with you @SouthernMuscle that I felt more energetic/better with the T4 while taking HGH. I also never tested thyroid levels other than my yearly tests where my levels are always in range.

Yeah. Its one of those clowns that makes statements like that and says its a guarantee, 100% or a fact.
Anytime I see opinions or statements followed by something like that I automatically dismiss.

So I was reading the half life of t4 is 5-7 days.

Have 150mcg t4 on hand. I see some people take 100mcg, others take 150mcg

My question: would doing 150mcg t4 EOD be a viable option given the long half life, or Is ED reccomended? I messed up and didn't order enough which is the only reason I'm asking. I was going to try to bridge the gap with occasional EOD dosing rather than having to place another seperate order
