Yes he his right but it dose dependant to a degree. If you go above 25mcgs/day with T3 then your very likely to start attacking muscle as well as fat and this why an AAS dose when running T3 is very adviseable to offset any muscle wastage.

or gh - I won't mention slin because I think there is a long way for you to go before even considering that - if ever.

It all depends on where your natural thyroid levels are. I don't recommend men using it without AAS, because most men have normal levels of thyroid levels. Females however tend to have mild hypothyroidism because estrogen binds up free T3. And yea if one uses AAS that aromatize without an AI, they could drop into hypothyroidism.

High thyroid levels causes negative nitrogen balance. You loose net protein from the body. That is an established medical fact.
It is known to cause osteoporosis.
Most likely, you also lose protein from muscle.
