Hello!
As the title says; why is it advisable to take T4 with HGH? How bad is it if you don´t?

Thanks!

50mcg ED of T4 before bed seems to be the general ideal use of T4 in conjuction with HGH

to be honest, i don't use either t3 or t4 with my hgh...i have tried it in the past and really saw/felt no difference so discontinued in an effort to cut back on meds

but let me see if i can dig up AR's article on the benefits of taking it at night before bed

did a quick search and couldn't find AR's study on it...i remember reading it though, about 6 months ago maybe?

hgh timing when training first thing in the am

anyway, im sure Gear or someone else can chime in with some additional facts...either way, i cant imagine the timing of the t4 being that critical

the first time I incorporated T4 in with HGH, I noticed that fat loss appeared to speed up, however the next time I used it, I didnt notice anything..maybe it was the source of the T4..who knows

this is the first time I am taking any t3 or t4 with my hgh - im taking armours combo, 1 a day every morning... I have noticed my body temp seems up ..and I have only been on the growth about a month or so and I have seen fat loss already .. .

you use the chinese combo of t3/t4?

HGH lowers your T4 so that's why it is recomended to take T4 when using HGH. You can take T4 at any time of the day or night, but a higher thyroid response occurs when taking T4 at night versus any other time of the day.
