T3 FAQ: Everything you need to know about T3

[mt]

Perhaps I am misinformed about this but doesn't some anabolics, like fina, repress thyroid function? If that is the case wouldn't it make sense to take a replacement dose of t3 like about 10-12 mcg/day?

All steroids affect your thyroid...Tren and Anavar seem to be the worst culprits (Interestingly, those two drugs are known for there Fat burning abilities)

So, if all steroids affect thyroid function why wouldn't it be a good idea to take a low dose to compensate?

Even after reading this thread I'm still not sure how to cycle T3 in my situation.
I'm about to start a year of short AS cycles: Four rounds of 2 weeks on/4 weeks off ending with an 8-week break then three rounds of 3 weeks on/4 weeks off ending with another 8 week break. Cutting cycle type AS, NO bulking.
Seeing how I have a good amt of fat I would shed (30-35 lbs) how I can best work in T3 and NYC in here?
Will be doing regular cardio; I love it anyway.

Not too sure about this one, I don't think T3 is for you in this case.

SlateDrake: You have it backwards.

Yes, levo is T4, but the body converts T4 into T3. That's the natural process. So in effect, T4 is safer, because it allows the body to still do what's t's supposed to do. (Even though it's an exogenous source and can still supress the thyroid.)

Hypothyroidism occurs when the body can no longer convert T4 into T3. That's what makes taking T3 so dangerous. The thyroid doesn't do ANYTHING when that much T3 is present. it assumes there is TOO MUCH and comes to a standstill. When you go off the T3, the thyroid might spring back into action -- it might not. It might take a while -- it might never come back. Taking T3 is playing with fire. For what?

According to my doctor, who works at NASA where I think he used this shit in the space program, T3 will not suppress you in a reasonable dose for a reasonable length of time (I said 100mcg for 2 months), but T4 will. Its one doctor, but hey, thought it was worth saying.

The fact that you contradict him Nelson, makes me kinda wary of your thoughts on this. Maybe I'll go see him for some sleeping pills and ask him for more information.

This is the same doctor that gave me the go ahead for 500mg of test cyp/week for 8 weeks, but questioned my long term goal and whether I could just do one cycle.

Pffft, you call that an answer? LOL
J/K.

Well use of T3 is going to shut you down for 4-6 weeks after cessation. So you need to wait at least 8 weeks between cycles.

You can use it, but you can't time it with your use of AS.
