I'm just curious. Anyone done t3 at 12,5mcg in a high protein cutting diet without any steroids? Did U loose any muscles at all? I've seen lots of posts where people are saying that T3 shouldn't be done with out some type of AAS. But they all talk about doses from 25mcg and above that. So what about 12,5mcg? There should be very little sides at that dosage, and therefor you should be able to be "on" for a longer period, and therefor make the same resultas as when on a higher dosage. So, anyone done a cycle with t3 at 12,5mcg, without any type of aas?     | ||

Well can't really answer your question at the dosage. But I have been on T3 at 25mcg for going on 3 months now. And all the time I was not on AS. Muscle mass did not decrease at the time, or if it was it was a little amount. Low doses of T3 while on AS is good for your body in a sense. Which htis brings up a question that some could never find an answer to. T3 at low doses say 25mcg. Does it shut down natural thyroid production, or just add to it. Granted higher doses tend to shut it down. But does the lower do the same. There was an article that was around some time ago saying you could be on low doses for extended periods of time with no ill affects, which leads me to the theory that lower doses add to natural T3 production. | ||

I was using Triax (Tiratricol) 3 times a day for 3 weeks and a blood test showed I had very low TSH levels. The stuff practically shut my thyroid down. I stopped using Triax and started using 25mcg of T3 a day. 4 weeks later I had another blood test and my TSH levels were back to normal. So on 25mcg a day my thyroid levels were actually able to recover to normal levels so I don't believe that 25mcg is a big enough dose to really negatively affect you as long as you don't do it too too long. | ||

I believe Bill Roberts was the first advocate for using 12.5mcgs T3 a day. First one must take into consideration that 25mcgs is a full replacement dose.. 25mcgs will not shutdown TSH to a very high degree, but for safety's sake I would not recommend going past 10 weks at this dose. Your body might come dependent on it. Now, 12.5mcgs has very interesting applications. It is a low enough dose that it can be used for periods of 6 months without adversely affecting the thyroid. At this dosage, protein synthesis+fat breakdown is increased. At this dosage one could lose 3lbs of fat a week while dieting quite easily. As a note most people have underactive thyroids(hypothyroidic)(one in three women are affected by this), 12.5mcgs a day will increase the efficiency of the thyroid to optimal levels. Godspeed | ||

at those dosses T3 does not work for fat loss.. i think the min doss would be 50mcg and anything under that will do something with enhancing your protein syn... not to user about this part but use the search and find out... there's lots of info on it... but dont use it w/o an AAS! aky ------------------ | ||

Fonz: So do U think that AAS is needed at that low dosage? Was Bill Roberts "on" gear, when he did this "experiment"? | ||

aky. I have done it both ways. While on and while off. At 25mcg I did not lose any muscle mass that I could notice. If I did it was little. As far as fat buring. I was reacting well to the 25mcg a day. Body temp was up a great deal and BF% drop nicley while on a good diet. Some people might need 50 becasue thyroid is not producing much T3. But I guess with mine the natural plus the added synthetic was working well together. | ||
