    Low Dosage T4 without any AAS, catabolic or not?

    Hey guys,

    I could not get my shipment of AAs until later then what I expected, which is ok by me because I will just continue to cut. Currently taking one of I..B...E s origonal products and looking to use some T4.

    My questions are, without AAS assistance I was looking at 50mg daily,.......that shouldn't be catabolic if diet is in check, correct?

    Once AAS is in,.......(which will be a light cylce....first time......Prop and Primo)......what would appropriate dosages be?

    Also how long can T4 be safely run, and how long should one stay off of it before safely going back, and without too much desensitizing receptors?

    Oh,.....also quick stats and goals......27 years old, 5'11 197, with 13.5 BF% would love to get to 8-9.5% BF and harden up via the AAS.

    I'm assuming you mean 50mcg. At that dose you wouldn't have to worry about much catabolism, but you also won't really be seeing any results from it either unless you're already hypothyroid.

    My bad, yeah 50mcg. Ejuicer, what dosage would you recommend while being completley natty that would get results but keep catabolism at bay?

    50mcgs is not much, and you shouldn't notice too much catabolism. Why not use T3 instead?

    Personally I'd run it for 6 weeks. If everything seems fine, then continue on a week by week basis.

    You won't see much (if any) fat loss from 50mcg of T4 ED. That's like taking 12.5mcg of T3...

    What would you guys recommend as a dosage for T4 then? 100mcg,.....possibly 150mcg ED?........remember Im starting off totally natural.

    This is my first experience with Thyroid hormone, and I will be using another product as well. I know if I did T3 correctly I would be fine. I just always like to go conservative route, the first time around.

    6 weeks sounds like a reasonable time frame to shoot for before taking stock of everything,.......any PCT recomendations?

    200mcg would be the max I would run t4 while off cycle. Why wouldn't you wait until your gear is in to go on cycle before you start the t4 to prevent catabolism as much as posible?

    You won't get any results from 100mcg ED either. Remember, it's like a 4:1 ratio. Try running 200mcg ED. It's not as much as you think. There are studies where people have ran over 600mcg ED for 6+ months and had no adverse effects besides the typical hypothyroidic symptoms (i.e. fat loss.) Try 200mcg ED.
