WELL, I KNOW THAT T3 IS KNOWN BY IT'S BRAND NAME CYTOMEL(U.S.), AND T4 IS KNOWN AS SYNTHROID. BOTH ARE PRESCRIPTION THYROID MEDICATIONS USED TO TREAT HYPOTHYROIDISM. IN BODYBUILDING, IT IS KNOW TO HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT USES. IT IS MOST POPULAR AS AN AID TO FAT-BURNING. CYTOMEL IS THE PREFFERED (T3), AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE GREATER EFFECTIVENESS IN THIS AREA. DOSAGE IS AROUND 25 TO 100 MCG. PER DAY. CYTOMEL IS COMMONLY USED DURING CLENBUTEROL INTAKE AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF CLENBUTEROL USE. IT SEEMS THAT CLENBUTEROL IS ENHANCED BY CYTOMEL AS CLENBUTEROL DECREASES NATURAL T3 PRODUCTION AFTER A FEW WEEKS. CYTOMEL IS USUALLY VERY EFFECTIVE, BUT AT HIGH DOSES OR FOR PERIODS OF OVER 6 WEEKS IT CAN LEAD TO MUSCLE CATABOLISM. IF USED PROPERLY, CYTOMEL IS VERY EFFECTIVE FOR ENHANCING THE METABOLISM OF FATS. OTHER THAN FAT BURNING, THYROID IN SMALL DOSES IS SHOWN TO BE ANABOLIC. SYNTHROID IS SOMETIMES PREFFERED FOR THIS AS IT IS A MILDER THYROID MEDICATION. THE USUAL DOSAGE IS 200 TO 400MCG. PER DAY FOR SYNTHROID. AS FAR AS GROWTH HORMONE THERAPY, IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT THERE IS A DEFINATE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL THYROID HORMONES AS WELL AS ANDROGENS, ETC. I FEEL THAT 25 MCG OF CYTOMEL PER DAY IS A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT DURING GH THERAPY WHILE TRYING TO GAIN MASS. WELL....THAT'S ABOUT ALL I KNOW! HOW ABOUT THAT INFO. REGARDING MY PREVIOUS POST? THANKS IN ADVANCE... RALPH
