Nelson, is there any reason to believe that zip raises t4/t3 to anything more than high normal? And if so, would that not have minimal effect on fat burning? If it causes t4/t3 above high normal what is the mechanisms that it utilizes that does not cause concommitant feedback in the loop causing normal thyroid shutdown? thanks,

It will put you on the high/normal end of thyroid output, just as extra protein will put you on the high/normal end of anabolism.
The answer to both your questions is essentially the same. Since it isn't a drug, it doesn't suppress, instead, it aids in the conversion of T4 to T3. That's the key. You can have a ton of T4 but if it isn't converted into the active T3, it's kind of useless. So essentially, by getting maximum output you get your thyroid as high as possible without entering "hyperthyroidism."
A lot of thought went into this included the exclusion of thypical thyroid ingredients like guggelsterones and forskolin. Without getting into a big aside, let's just say they aren't what the supp companies made them out to be but they ran with the hype anyway.
If anyone is expecting this to work like Cytomel, forget it. But the good news is, you can use it non stop (within the safe dosage range) and it will only make for a healthier thyroid. The only side effect might be a slightly "warm" feeling, which isn't that terrible.
BTW: If you have cold hands that's a sign of possible low thyroid. If the body is cold, it attempts to conserve heat by hoarding fat. If the body is warm, it will expell heat, by burning fat. That's what this will do, but again, not to the extent of suppressive drugs. It is a supplement and IMO the best non stimulative fat burner out there. Of course, you can always add some T-rex to it, but that would be REALLY intense and I'd only recommend that to advanced athletes or guys who are used to thyroid meds.
