    how important is taking t3 when taking hgh?

    i've done gh in the past and never bother with t3 or t4 as i was told they could have severe side effects on ur thyroid functions. I was talkting to a friend yesterday and he said t3 is good to do and stay away from t4. Can some of the veterans with experience shed some light on this matter it would be greately apprieated. thank u

    my understanding of it is that T4 (NOT T3) is needed while on hgh

    this is because when T4 is converted to T3 in the body a chemical is released
    i forget the name of this chemical
    but it is this chemical that works in synergy with the hgh not the T4 itself
    taking T3 means there is no conversion in the body and therefore the desired chemical isnt released and there is no synergisitic effect

    also contraory to popular believe T4 does not permantly damage your thyroid
    it will suppress it yes but only for the period that you are taking it

    the thyroid actually recovers remarkabley quickly
    much quicker than suppressed testosterone levels infact

    What happens if you take T3 and not T4 ... at a dosage like 25mcg ED? Will there be any problem of putting your thyroid into danger ? Will it help your body at all , eg lose fat quicker ? Considering your on an hgh pattern 4iu 5on2off ...

    There was a post a while ago about how taking t4 with hgh doubles the effectiveness of the hgh.

    I found it...

    t3 wil be fine for fat loss
    but you wont be getting the synergistic effects with the hgh

    therefore t4 is the much better option

    thyroid recovers quick regardless of which one u use anyway

    i got mine tested when on 150mcg t4 for 9 months and my thryroid was suppressed (obviously)
    then i came off and got it tested 6 weeks later and it was in the normal range again

    i run 150 - 200mcg T4 nearly all year round (9 - 10 months of the year)

    u only experience muscle loss on higher doses of T4
    and my doses are NOT high

    as for the test - i just told the doctor i was using steroids and hormones etc and asked to get my blood test results showing thyroid, cholesterol, liver, kidneys etc

    depends on where u are in the world and on your doctor as to whether they agree to do the test or not though
    ive had some refuse, so i just went to a different doc

    Have you ran t4 and hgh alone without test? I want to do that but I am afraid of muscle loss.

    T3 is catabolic at any dose.
    Some say if enough AAS are present then it's counteracts the catabolism, is this the way it really works? I'm uncertain

    i would think that a low dose t3 ( 12-25mcg ) would not be catabolic even without aas

    T3 is catabolic. Your dose does not matter. Catabolism just increases as the dose goes up.
