L'thyroxine : Cutting

[ExpatHighlander]

Can't get Cytomel where I am but L'thyroxine is available over the counter (true !). I know its not so popular now but beggars cant be choosers. Can anyone give me any pointers as to dosage on a cutting cycle ?

T-4 is generally taken at a dose of 4 to 5 times that of T-3. It is not as effective in normal people dieting because dieting causes a large dip in the conversion of T-4 to T-3 in the body. It will also cause a harsher shutdown of the thyroids natural production of T-4 and lower TSH levels causing a longer recovery time.

Hi Rickson,

Thanks for the response. Basically I gather you are saying T4 is not as effective as T3 and has more potential problems. In this case I think I will avoid it. I do have Clenbuterol and will probably cycle this over four weeks. Any further comments would be appreciated.
