help with dosage for T3?

Hey guys,

My supplier told me to start with 1 tab and increase it by half every third day.

I read that you have to take it everyday.

Whats the dosages and must T3 be taken every day or every third day.

dude your supplier is right,so u start off with 1 tab for 3 days,the 1.5 tabs for 3 days,2tabs for 3 days,2.5tabs for 3days,3 tabs for 3days,3.5tabs for 3 days etc

thanks dj,

He meant take 1 tab the first day, the nothing for two days then 1.5 tabs for the fourth day, then nothing four two days then 2 tabs for the seventh day then nothing for the next two days etc until I reach four then taper back down.

T3 is short acting so the more often you take it the better.

DJ - how about making this the official T3 spec. Recommended dosage, max/min, duration and PCT? Scared of starting mine.
I see there are warnings taking it with Ephadrine etc?

Yeah true rabbit, we need the expert advice of Mr Dj :bow

Hey juicy,

I'm currently taking T3 myself, I'v been taking it for just under 2weeks and I'm starting to see it's effect. You should remember that T3 is a synthetic thyroid hormone that is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). When someone who is euthyroid (normal functioning thyroid), like yourself, takes thyroid hormones we actually induce a state of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid hormones are responsible for metabolism, so it essentially tips the scale of energy balance in your favour - weight loss, without having to drastically reduce calorie intake. Hyperthyroid patients lose in excess of 10kg over a period of 4-6months and they generally have very unhealthy diets. We as bodybuilders want to eat clean at the same time, making sure that protein intake remains adequate (2grams per pound of body weight), so that we can achieve our goal with T3 as quickly as possible - Don't want to stay on T3 for prolonged periods of time. I'd say max 6week cycle with atleast a 6week break.

Important to be on anabolic support! Don't want your muscles to waste away along with the fat
Tablets come in 20mcg dosage, 50 tablets (Aspen Pharmaceuticals). Start with 20mcg a day and gradually work your way up to 100mcg (my max suggested dosage).
The idea behind gradually increasing the dosage is to gage possible side effects, if a certain dosage makes you feel ill - don't take more
Most importantly when you come to the end of your cycle, gradually taper the dosage down (now it becomes more critical). You need your thyroid to gradually start realizing that you are now withdrawing synthetic hormone, if stopped to quickly you may run in to difficulty. DON'T RUN OUT OF TABS

showtime! thanks bro :clapclap

Some good info there. How long will you be taking it for?

Keep us updated on your results brotha man

day 1- 3 20mcg
day 4 -6 40mcg
day 6 -9 60mcg
day 9 -30 80mcg
day 31 -34 60mcg
day 35 -37 40mcg
day38 -40 20mcg

thats how u should taper up and down...

from day 35 onwards i would start a thyroid pct(thanks doctari) which should include 300-600mg of kelp, solal's thyroid support 1 tab 3 times daily and thyrosine inorder to get your thyroid back and up and running...

i read a while back T3 has been shown to upregulate the beta 2 receptors in fat tissue so using a fat burner such as ephadrine or clenbutrol together with tertroxin will yield better results in the fat burning sense as the beta 2 receptors will take longer to down grade when using a fat burner. but taking ketofin or benadryl should keep those receptors firing on all cyclinders just be carefull with the dosages of fat burners as ketofin/benadryl will make those fat burners more potent so u dont want to put any added strain on the heart. i would suggest rather cycling the burners 2 weeks 2 weeks rather than dosing up he ketofin. i would suggest keeping your protein intake on the high side 1.5g per lb body weight (3.3g per kg) as a minimum as this will help with the muscle sparing...

t3 should not be administered without anabolic support as u will end up going from mr olympia to an ethopian as t3 doesnt distinguish between muscle and fat it just increases the whole metabolic process in the body. according to l.rea your body naturally produces about 25mcg of t3 daily so now when u taking in 3 times that amount u can imagine the results from that.... if 50mg of ephadrine per day can increase the metabolism by 4% then can u just imagine the t3 doing alot more than that...

Conan or doctari can give u the details on this but its not recommended for women to take t3 at all...they can go into the finer points once one of them has time to read this post...

t3 does have some nasty side effects which i have had before...sweating is one,heart palpitations,diarrhea,constantly going to the bathroom when diarrhea passes..Insomnia..that one is a bitch,for 42 days i didnt sleep 1 wink...very very shit so a mild sleeping tablet might do the trick... remember that tertroxin has a 6 hour half life so remember to split the doses up through the day but try keep it away from late afternoon.

i would say t3 and juice is the same in terms of how long u are on + pct = how long u are off for... hope this helps u.

Juicy, I'll probable take it for 6weeks man. I'll keep you updated
DJ also added some words of wisdom,
I'm taking Zopiclone 7.5mg as a sleeping pill. Really helps alot, problem with it is that one can become dependant on it. May have a few nights of rebound insomnia upon withdrawel.

Insomnia?!?! Shite! i already struggle to sleep. Taking a week off from work to try get some snoozes on the couch. Cant stand that.

Sleeping pills, most commonly bensodiazepines are most certainly a short term solution and works very well. The problem is with prolonged use. In the medical profession anything up to 4weeks is acceptable. So try them, you may catch up on some lost sleep

Much appreciated dj!!! That did help alot!

So its better to taper up with an whole tab instead of half?

42 days with no sleep .... bro thats hectic yoh!

no bro slowly does it,its not something that u should really stuff around with...i will be using it in my cycle's coming up soon...going to be using it with tren test winstrol var tbol and hopefully some masteron prop.

thanks dude, your info helped alot.

i must give credit to doctari(from his posts) and conan(from posts and emails to him) they have helped me learn alot since i started on this forum,netro and admin have also given me a shit load of info and knowledge too,its always good to inform yourself cos once u do that...well then u are in the pound seats...never stop reading,if someone gives u advice,read up on that advice make sure that the information u are getting is solid and sound,at the end of the day u are the one who is going to benefit from a couple minutes worth of reading, body building and muscle building isnt a guessing game,u can just take 1 persons word as scripture,all my dieting information i have recieved is from hours upon hours of reading,i've read a good couple e-books about dieting,the tom venuto,the chris aceto books,l.rea's dieting information, dave pulambo's ideas, hilton preen's stuff(which is generally suspect) and kevin coyne,doctari,conan,everyones bro and all i have done is equipped my self for the hardest part of bodybuilding,the dieting....

Much respect dj, Ive seen your pics you posted up and have been reading all the replies and advice given by you and the other guys you've mentioned. All that with more research has really broadend my knowledge on many topics.

I think far too many dudes listen to their suppliers advice soley, forgetting that most of them just wanna get sales up.


Honestly I been on other forums and this is really the best one Ive been on by far.

Mad props to the creators and members.

bud i wont lie some of the suppliers know fuck all about the stuff they are selling, there is this guy in my area who suggests for cutting that guys use winstrol and test en, and then some one went to him for kessar and he got a bank bag full of white tabs,which turned out to be head ache tablets which he sold to him for a massive price.... the guys supply stuff really dont care about u sometimes they just care about your money and its not how things should be...

At least the dude was headache free for a while ....:laugh:

But seriously thats not cool, bad info is one thing, ripping people off is another.

Mr showtime ....

Hows your results coming along?
